    Hi there,

    I've had this coin a while and have never been able to pinpoint the fault.

    The specs are correct for this issue and it looks quite genuine to me but I am concerned about the beading being mis shaped. Has anyone ever come across this or have any ideas on what the problem is ?

    Thanks,

    Mark.

    Maybe a slight Misaligned Die Strike?

    Maybe, still the whole design doesn't appear to be distorted. Whilst I know how the process of striking car panels works I'm not all so sure with coins
