<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2559408, member: 1892&quot;]There are two <b>major</b> and game-changing differences between your coin and the original one posted in this thread. First, yours has a rim on the &quot;blank&quot; side, as it should. Second, yours has detail - texture - on that side. One possible explanation is being struck thru a Capped Die, a die to which a previously-struck coin has stuck, and it&#039;s been hammered against so many other new planchets since that details of the die to which it&#039;s stuck (the obverse, in almost all cases) are imparted to the coins its&#039; striking. </p><p><br /></p><p>The other explanation is a grease fill or strike through some foreign thing of such extent that only this much detail was available to strike into the &quot;obverse&quot; of your coin. I tend to agree with paddyman98 and believe this the less-likely reason for your coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Either way, your coin is <b>significantly</b> different that the first coin in this thread, and you most certainly have something pretty interesting there. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
