Join Date Oct Posts Little nicks in my AU coin Speaking of dishonest, a long while ago I bought some gold 1oz coins and they had what looked like a couple of tiny nicks in them, in the face, not the edge. It may have been just a coincidence from rough handling, but it also may have been the sellers were taking tiny chucks out of each coin, and if you take of these chunks you'll have enough pilfered gold for a new coin?
