I am really sorry, but my conclusion is PMD
:-(

[ausjack]

yeah it doesn't look like it's been played with but one of the guns will know for sure :good:
all good Oz, it's different so I'll keep it

To elaborate on my conclusion, on a ramstrike the original points on the blank are all pressed up by the blank being forced into the collar.
On this coin the points look like they are normal, but the edges have been damaged.

RE Aj's 50 Ramstrike, I'm a little inclined to agree with Oscoins. I think that on 50c Ramstrikes that I've seen images of, the 'raised lip' is usually on the flat section of the coins edge, ie between the 'points', not actually on the points.

Verdict: undecided. :angel:

thanks Oz, so what and how did mine happen and what is it then :scratch_one-s_head:
if it wasn't so bloody old and like me seen way too much it might be easier to tell what happened..very odd either way

I agree with Nancy.  Here's a recent one from Ebay with similarly sized "raised lips":

Without getting into the discussion of which is the anvil die or the hammer die it appears one of the die is out of alignment (the obverse appears aligned with the corners of the blank) but on the reverse side they are out of alignment hence allowing some of the metal to flow up the side and create the raised ridge.  As Nancy says this is on the flat side not the corners.

Yours also has raised lips on both sides of the coin and I've never seen that on a ramstrike not that I've seen that many. It would mean the collar would have to be out of alignment with both the anvil and hammer die and cause metal to flow both up and down.

If pressed I'd have to go with PMD by a flattening of the corners.

Oh I see now, thanks for that and all good and don't matter, I think it's cool and it has a new home where it won't get hurt any more..poor little bloke :cray:

Gee Steve I wouldn't have liked to have been the seller on that link. I would have though it worth more than that.

PP has a good pic on the ramstrike link too (as Nevol mentioned you should see the raised lip on the flat section).

I have a couple sort of similar to Aj's 50c, but I decided long time ago that they were PMD.  I'll dig them out and put up some piccies later on.

[ausjack]

thanks Nevol, I'd really appreciate it if you wouldn't mind
