<p>[QUOTE="mumu, post: 896724, member: 24620"]Ok the picture below is not great but I will try and get better ones if needed. I have about 8 of these coins in copper and silver. I am looking at them I spot 2 perfectly symmetrical round raised disc like raised metal lumps inside this particular device. My first thought was that it was some kind of contact /PMD mark. I look at my other silvers and none have it. I look at the copper versions and one of them has the same exact marking, only it has 1 instead of 2. So next I move to the internet to look at photos of other coins. Most do not have the marking but low and behold I find another silver with the 2 markings. Im pretty sure by the location and size that it is in fact the same marking though the picture might overall be inconclusive. But maybe someone will recognize what I am describing as some kind of standard way to keep track of dies on certain coinage? If its any help these coins are from Uruguay but minted in Santiago Chile mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
