Found this just now. I think a cold shut. Metal in the groove is "grainy" appearance and no extruded metal at edges.

Your wish is my command. I can't see any anomaly on the reverse.

Cold shut it is. Awesome one too. I think someone needs to come up with a name for it. How about the "Capone" 50 cent.

Nope. Strikethroughs. Still nice finds though. :)

Oh, and ya can't be naming flaws. Every one is an individual, and you'd end up with a list the size of the encyclopaedia brittanica (anybody remember that, from before wikipedia?).

Well actually we named the coin. That is a subtle difference.

I have the Minister of Off Topic Police on my side.
