What is "Leicht bearbeiteter Schrötlingsfeh"?

Hi everyone!
Any idea what "Leicht bearbeiteter Schrötlingsfeh" means? Google Translate is pretty useless when it comes to understanding the nuance of some of these German coin descriptions. Google Translate doesn't like "Schrötlingsfeh" but:

"Leicht bearbeiteter Schrötlingsfehler" = "lightly edited pest bug"

Does that mean tooling? In which case, I'm out!

Do we have a glossary somewhere of German numismatic terms?

cheers
Greg

"Schrötling" is plate, planchet or flan; "Schrötlingsfehler" -> the flan on which the coin was struck had a fault, and it was lightly tooled.

Thanks so much! Just saved the numismatic dictionary as a Favourite. There's a lot of German language descriptions on MA-shops.

 

You are most welcome, glad to help

 

Glad to see you back Greg, it's been a while !

Q

 

Great to be back! I haven't made a major coin purchase in about a year - with money going towards travel and a house! But i've never stopped coin window-shopping!

 

Hello Greg! Great to see you again! Hope you are well.

 

Doing great! Sadly i haven't added a new emperor lately, but i'm back in the game!

 

This is a great link for non-german speakers who use German reference books. A few years ago, I got a copy of Die Deutschen Notmunzen to attribute a number of pieces. Without it, I would have been total lost trying to use my standard German-English dictionary
