I would like to say hi to everyone in this forum and I have a piece of the Australia 1946 King george vi florin silver coin with a missing line on the reeded edges there.The missing line right exactly on that position looks like a big dot because of the gap between the left and right reeding lines there,it is obvious to look at it right on the edges by holding the piece.My thought is the missing line is the machine has failed to cut on that position but not sure why it is only a missing line happening there and it should be more than a missing line normally on other pieces during the processing period.I believe thing like this piece is certainly unusual and rare to be discovered by me. It is definely very interesting and unusual to me but I cannot confirm it is a common thing or not happens on the reeded edges there because I am not an expert in the Australia error coins to be honest.I need the real experts which can help me to identify it of the missing line is considered as error or not,is it interesting to you and rare or common thing happens on other pieces,personal opinion and explaination in details are also require by me.I would apprieiciate for your help as usual.I will get back to you as soon as possible after your reply to me.Please refer to the scans below and let me know what you think.Thank you
I'm no expert on non-US coins, but perhaps the edge got worn down slightly. Or maybe there was some grease in the die collar that prevented the ridges in that one area. (is that even possible?) Keep up the hunt!
An interesting piece. A missing reed could theoretically come from when the collar was machined, or one of the reeds could've chipped off of the collar. There's also the possibility its just damage to the coin. Really be sure what is going on we would need to see a higher grade example of the coin.
The position is in perfect condition without any worned off there and the entire around the reeded edge is in excellent condition except the surface is badly worned off on the obverse side,the most grading of this piece is in only fine condition and it is the most unusual piece which I have discovered so far.I believe it must be a new discovery of the century and hopefully to see another piece with higher grade in the future.Thank you
I apprieiciate your comment and reply very much showing on above there,you must be right about the missing line is a missing reed and I have learned something over there.I can ensure the missing reed on that position is not damage but something is missing over there and I was excited to discover it at the first sight.I hope to hear more from you later on in the future.Thank you
I apprieiciate both of your comments and hope to hear from other people comment by replying to me.Thank you
