Sure looks to me like it is.
Ya know Carl, it's even getting hard for me to tell if you are talking tongue in cheek or not anymore :rolleyes: Use a smiley once in a while....
Because the coins were money - not collectable items. They didn't care what they looked like - just that the weight was correct.
Don't disagree with ya Mike. (careful now, don't get excited - I'm not gonna make it a habit :D ) But on Matt's coin, that scratched designation...
I know Mike, but as we have discussed many times before - there is a whole lot more to market grading that differentiates it from technical...
You could well be right Matt, I am just talking out loud more than anything. As I said, normally what I am seeing would not cause a coin like this...

If it had been a file mark, and then are easy to see that they are file marks in person - the coin would never be slabbed. And it's not an...
If you wish to stay on the topic of the thread - fine. But if you just wish to discuss cars, please take it to the General Discussion forum.
Their source for the blanks is the Australian mint. The info was published in most of the coin mags.
Howdy Adam - Welcome to the Forum !! Yes, you can post as many pics as you want and we will be more than happy to help you out. This thread...
