Définitions

anglais

A break (slight roughness) in the surface of a coin at its high points. At first, it appears to be a form of wear, but in fact, it is the result of an insufficient strike or of the use of a poor blank, so that the resulting coin fails to be completely struck. Die burns are commonly seen in the George VI series, particularly with the silver coins.
