<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Iceman57, post: 1279923, member: 16712&quot;]Yes ,,,,pretty much. This typical alloy that the Copenhagen mint used and or the way they rolled out the metal made it not the best looking planchet for striking coins with,,,,if you was to put one of these coins under a strong loop you will see very tiny pot holes all over the surface of the coin even after the Royal Mint in Egland took over production of the coins. but in 1957 they changed the metal composition (They removed the aluminium) and the 1 and 2 kronurs looked much better. The old composition was (92% copper, 6% aluminium, 2% nickel) until 1946 and it was changed to ( 79% copper, 20% Zink, 1% nickel ) this may have made the coin better for striking as well made the coin look much nicer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
