Thinking is dangerous, it makes you think. That\'s why many people avoid it.

This sort of error is better known as a "rim burr", which is (I guess) a coin specific way of classifying this sort of cold shut.  There's a decent amount on them if you do a Google search.

Thanks heaps Mark for the more precise definition of the error. You're on the ball as always and I for one have learnt a newie.

I guess since it's cold in Canberra the rims do go b(u)rrrrrr ...... especially when struck in winter eh RG!

That on top of that with the Mint not being far from Lake Burrrrrrrrrley Griffin .... what else could you expect!
