Title: 2000 Royal 50c Error?
Post by: b_j_w_79 on April 25, 2016, 10:59:17 AM
Hi all,

I'm not the best at identifying errors, let alone what type of error, so I'm going to ask for your opinions on a few coins. Here is the first a 2000 Royal 50c. What would cause this?

Thanks in advance!

It is a bit hard to tell, but I think that someone has cut it with a snap off knife.

I tend to agree with you. I managed to get a better angle the metal seems raised on both sides which indicates something like a knife.
