<p>[QUOTE=&quot;karlgoetzmedals, post: 20375239, member: 95518&quot;]NGC photographed my entire pattern collection in high res as part of a project to flesh out their world census, so here are some updated photos of my copper Goetz krone (NGC MS63 RB). The bisecting line on the obverse is from a planchet defect (as struck).: (Cited from: <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/karl-goetz-medals-post-yours.320431/page-2#post-15301809" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/karl-goetz-medals-post-yours.320431/page-2#post-15301809">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/karl-goetz-medals-post-yours.320431/page-2#post-15301809</a>)</p><p><br /></p><p>The incision across the face of the obverse is actually from Goetz cancelling the hub with what was likely, a knife.&nbsp; I have seen other examples in both silver and copper with the same incuse line.&nbsp; It IS NOT a planchet flaw.&nbsp; Unfortunately these examples were restruck, probably by Guido Goetz, sometime after his fathers death in 1950.</p><p>Why not deface the reverse too?&nbsp; Hard telling but likely he was thinking the way I do, what good would a reverse only pattern matter.</p><p><br /></p><p>In a nutshell, only pieces <u>without</u> this intentional defacement were struck under the direction of Karl Goetz.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
