Various errors

Planchet flaw on a 1943 penny where the planchet appears to have had a piece flake off prior to the coin being struck.

Another smaller planchet flaw across the neck of the roo.

Initially I thought this was doubling, but I am not convinced.

This is a doubling close up.  Doubling happens when the planchet moves in relation to the die when being struck with multiple blows as coins are normally done.

Another example from the same coin.

I am not sure what causes this but there are some more examples from the same coin following.

This is from the above coin and appears like die damage, except the whole coin is affected, including the beading.

Again, from the same above coin.

An example of die-fill where the high sections of the coin (low sections in the striking die) fill with debris from the planchets being struck and cause these errors. This one has the top and bottom of the 8 filled, the top of the 2 partially filled and the bottom of the I in AUSTRALIA partially filled. I have one with the 2 top filled and this is also common to the legs of the N's in PENNY.
