<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3890404, member: 19463"]There is a lot going on when hammer hits the die. Sometimes these things happen even to Gordian III which has a crack to reckon with. Most people would not touch this coin with a ten foot pole but I love it. 'Defective' happens when a coin leaves the mint and has a hard life. The mint defined what was acceptable. Someone at the mint probably said 'good enough for government work' and let this one go. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1026522[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
