<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ASUtodd, post: 534819, member: 11382&quot;]I bought a big lot of German Pfennigs and non-silver one marks the other day and while going through them I found the following two coins....&nbsp; The 1924 D 10 Pfennig is obviously a minting error but the 1965 F 1 Mark...well.. has me puzzled.&nbsp; At first I thought this was post mint tampering but the more I look at it I start to think it isn&#039;t. One side of the coin is brown and has a strange look to it.&nbsp; The other side is like it should be. I tried to take some good side shots to show you how perfect the line of transition from shiny nickel side to the non-luster side.&nbsp; If it was striped, someone took their time doing it right...&nbsp; I also posted a picture of what it SHOULD look like...</p><p><br /></p><p>Die crack on the reverse across the ears of wheat and then rim issues on the obverse... Large crack and looks like it is rolled over on itself.</p><p><img src="http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/53/l_7fbbcbd7ec1f434d8ce1180509f80799.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Nickel plating is on the reverse but missing on the obverse and side</p><p><img src="http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/50/l_e19b7e5b9e7c4ec4925873cad93b7ba0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Side view of the coin</p><p><img src="http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/35/l_4eef096554324c0dbf2c42bb1e1f37b0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Another side view showing the reverse also</p><p><img src="http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/59/l_0d6355e8b0484f7fa349dbcd3bb7425f.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And finally... how it SHOULD look</p><p><img src="http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/35/l_0eab7b8237864c27a95f96b509758ae1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
