An original 'hammered' coin? - John

[Sapyx]

Fire damage, I'm thinking.

[ausjack]

I can't work it out as it looks to have cuds but it's hard to tell..need a better pic

[Fulvio]

Acid?

[ausjack]

not being smart but what sort of acid would do that, I would have thought acid would take the detail awayand leave more of a smooth surface..just a thought and there seems to be cuds here and there on both sides, it's really got me thinking now..not that that's hard :mocking:

[Fulvio]

Wonder if its worth ringing him and visiting with a scope?

I've had this coin on my watch list for months & every time it comes back to the top of watched items i check it out,in that time i've not been able to come up with an answer, i don't think it's a genuine mint error though.

[ausjack]

Yeah go on Fulvio, I dare ya mate..let me know how you get on :angel:

Thanks accu, yeah there's something about it all right and I'd love to know what was done..very strange indeed :scratch_one-s_head:

[Fulvio]

Hmm, just found a pair of 1988's that look very similar.. I'm still thinking PMD.

Haven't seen anything like that before. Couldn't tell what's caused that but the first thing that came to mind was acid damage.
