Well ... all of mine were head and tails at each end of the rolls which was good.
At the end of the 50c roll , one coin had a scratch across the writing and a little gouge. There's no machining that gets done to them after pressing is there?
That's just an after the fact bit of damage isn't it?

There\'s no such thing as too much Borobi!

Looks like the standard coin rolling machine damage to me CDR. Good work with the head/tail combo's!

Coin rollers and counters are my pet hate (which I've probably posted more than a few times).

good to see that you can still type with those doggie mauled fingers mate!

:laugh2: .... on ya RG! .... Yes, but not at the usual speed and I keep having to press ! It's a great excuse to get out of the washing up ..... (but I still dry up :angel:) .... going through the latex gloves quicker than a pathology collector!

That's what it looks like to me as well - damage from a rolling machine. I see it all the time with the Armaguard rolls, and it still irks me. Fortunately, I never saw it on the Lest We Forget coins I bought earlier this year, so I think you're just a little bit unlucky.

I don't know whether you intend to break the rolls open and sell them individually, but if you do, I recommend selling the damaged coin on the end of the roll at a discount, because savvy collectors like myself won't pay full price for a damaged coin. However, the coins inside the roll should be in much better condition, and will still allow you to make a handsome profit. :winkextra:

From my recent experience with RAM rolls the coins inside the rolls will be "Sans" the rolling machine damage but will struggle to make better than MS65 due to the amount of "Bagging" on the coins.

Buy what gives you enjoyment

Thanks, Trout. That's what I meant. I consider rolling machine damage to be much worse than "bagging", so whenever I go noodling, I usually discard coins that have rolling machine damage, but keep those that have "bagging" marks. However, that's just my subjective opinion, and I realise that if you're after a particularly high grade, then all of the coins would probably fail to make the cut. Because I get most of my coins from noodling, I can't afford to be that fussy, so I try to find a balance between the two extremes. Ultimately, it depends on what condition Seedyrom is after - average uncirculated, choice uncirculated or gem. :ok:

You can sell it as an error coin on eBay. :P
