Pobjoy silver pound error

Found an article about a frosting error in the minting of 2 oz. silver Pegasus by the Pobjoy mint. If I understood correctly, the entire mintage has a doubled effect on the obverse(?). If it was the entire number of coins to be minted , would it constitute an error ? That is, would it be considered an error by collectors if there is no example to compare it to ?

all the minted coins have the same "error"?

never heard of pobjoy.

 

Yeah a British mint. And yes if I read the article correctly all of the 2018 reverse proofs were victims.

 

Is this what the error market has been reduced to?

Trying to post the link. Having technical knowledge problems

 

Come on. The Pobjoy Mint? THE BIGGEST maker of NIFC coins for countries IN THE ENTIRE WORLD??? Plus some IFC coins, too. Seems like lots and lots of people on here REALLY BADLY need to step away from the monitor and slowly back away toward an ANA convention.

Right. I have a 1977 Virgin Island proof set minted by Pobjoy. And more. I'm looking now.

 

Got a Togo 2012 Jubilee Ag tr.oz. pretty cool...

 

"Togo, or not Togo, that is the question..."

 

Yeah I have a 1977 Virgin Islands proof set and Sterling and a 2012 Jubilee silver commemorative from Togo by Pobjoy Mint.....probably more...stuff..here.lets seeee..no current catalogue as you can tell

 

At least the OP didn't see it on a uTube video.

 

Yeah I'm not surprised if collectors haven't heard of Pobjoy because their thing is non-circulating legal tender, medallions oh, but they do mint millions of coins a year

Thank you. After you literate people read this a sensible determination can be made.

 

It's an attractive coin. I thought maybe it's worth trying to find out if this error buzz is worth the premium dealers will ask.

 

Only 200 were affected

Quote "around 200 pieces exist” from the mintage of 5,000 Reverse Proof piedfort (double thick) coins." Closed quote

Thank goodness I am literate!

 

Sorry this is a Pirth

 

Is this kind of like the "not frosted enough" Kennedy half in the reverse proof set this year? I got one among the three sets I ordered.

 

I've done the same thing to cakes I've frosted.
