Have you been an ebay winner today?

[markn]

Looks like a die cap to me, but perhaps an anvil die cap.

Nice pickup, echidna.

[echidna]

More and more rubbish on Ebay.
Hard to find anything worthwhile.

This was a recent pick up.

[nealeffendi]

Nice pickup. I'm totally jealous. Off to the slab factory?

Yes.

Excellent pickup echi, and must be as scarce as hens teeth in that grade. Not that I've seen near as many as some of you guys, but I believe the die crack/flaw through VSV in obverse legend makes it scarcer still. Have only seen one other with the same die crack in my time searching for these gems. :good:

Recent purchase, bought as brockage, think there is something else going on as well.

[echidna]

Nice error !

[Unicorn]

:i_agree: Top coin G! I'm no expert but I certainly think brockage. Would love to see what the die cap would have looked like!

[Robster]

Wow, super pick up! :shok:

[autocoupler]

Nice one G. You must be starting to run out of space, so I'm willing to look after the overflow if you would like :angel:

[gnome]

Thanks , auto you aren't far wrong mate. Luckily enough just received a nice new folder yesterday in the mail, overflow sorted temporairly.

[echidna]

I think its a "stuck in the press and removed with a screwdriver" coin.

[trout]

I think its a "stuck in the press and removed with a screwdriver" coin.

The coin doesn't show any evidence of being "Stuck" in the press, So if those marks on the reverse are incused then this is just another scratched and damaged penny :ok:

[autocoupler]

Lots going on with the rims, and appears that the planchet was not aligned with the collar when struck??
