<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 1410770, member: 24091&quot;]Does anyone have a 1904 or 1905 Danish West Indies 20 Kronor with the marks? Or for that matter, any Danish 20 Kronor struck after 1900? (which was the last year of the dolphin type).</p><p><br /></p><p>I am inclined to discount the possiblity that the marks are adjustment marks at this point. Primarily on account of the earlier post about the marks not affecting the rims on my coin, which is real hard to explain if it were adjusted by the tradtional file method. As for a counting machine, -I don&#039;t think so. If it were a counting machine, I would expect circular or eliptical marks, not straight parallel lines. </p><p><br /></p><p>What is really amazing to me at this point is that these lines or marks appeared over a span of 25 years on Danish 20 Kronor coins. And yet the Danish mint apparently wasn&#039;t concerned enough to do anything about it. If these were striations on the planchets prior to striking, I would think the necessary adjustments would have been made at some point to increase the strike presure on the press. But even that leaves some mystery to it, since most of these coins, --my original specimen especially-- exhibit full details and otherwise look fully struck-up.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, one correction to an earlier post-- It wasn&#039;t the second 0 punched over a 9. It was the 9 punched over an 8. Pretty screaming obvious in my opinion, but perhaps NGC was so distracted by the marks on the reverse that the date was ignored in spite of being indicated on the submission sheet as an overdate. (one that so far is not in Krause either).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]170784.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
