Planchet flaw, or damage?

IMO they look like marks made by the reeded edge of another coin(s).
So PMD

 

What he (@expat) said. Reeding marks.

 

X3 Made from another Reeded edged coin.

 

I thought that too but the metal doesn't have any rippling around the indentations and marks predominately appear to be on the raised areas of the face. The lack of marking around the raised parts on the flat parts of the surface could suggest that the striking die flatted them out. I'm only a lay-person however, but the evidence points to that rather than damage afterwards.

 

Thanks expat much appreciated.

 

Those are reeding marks 100% but hey... don't take our word for it

 

Thanks collecting, food for thought.

 

Thanks furry lol, I'll take that under advisement.

 

Unless the reeding marks happened before the planchet was striked?

 

It will be interesting to hear your theory as to how that might have happened

 

I think you need to learn more about how coins are made before you start looking for errors. Otherwise, every coin you find will seem like a Mint error to you. You might want to invest in a book about errors. This is one of my favorites.....

 

No. Not at all.

 

Elaborate please, paddyman?

 

As @cpm9ball stated you should learn how coins are made.. Blanks are plain with no reeded edge or upraised rim. They are passed through a rim upsetting machine to create the raised rim. That's when they are Blanks. The Blanks are struck with three Dies.. The Hammer Die, the Anvil Die and the Collar Die. The Collar is what creates the reeded edge. So.. Blanks cannot be hit with another reeded edge before they are struck because they don't have reeds.
All you have is PMD - Post Mint Damage

There are plenty of videos on YouTube that show the minting proccess.

 

It's a reasonable assumption to assume that I am looking for errors Chris, but that isn't the case in this instance.
I wholeheartedly take your point though about errors though, and it's a great suggestion to read more about it so that I distinguish what is and what isn't an error more accurately. I will order it on Amazon, thanks again.

 

Thanks, Paddy. Does anyone else concur with that?

 

Everybody in this thread, with the exception of you, said that your coin was damaged by the reeded edge from other coins.

 

Pffffft!

 

Cpm never said that he thought it was a damage by a reeded edge, he recommended reading more about minting errors. Once again your comments are not based on a shred of fact. You are just embarrassing yourself again.
