We just got 10 of the 2015 20c counterstamps a couple of days ago. the quality of the coins is diabolical. Scratches, bag marks and fingerprints for ALL!
Anyway, 8 of the 10 had a strike through on the rim near the Queen's neck. It must have been a small bit of swarf or wire and it's interesting to see how it moved around from strike to strike. Also, one had a oil strike through on the obverse at around the II.
Wire Strike Through 1-4

At $15 a pop you would think that they would have made some sort of effort not to bag the crap out of these :dodgy:
I have seen better quality coins in my pocket change than these YUK
Yes, shame about the condition Mark.
