Hi, I have couple of Barbados 5 cents since 1978 in a little bag. One look to have a double strike or something like that... but i'm not sure. On the reverse you can see something like a shape... maybe lighthouse shape... You can compare with this normal coin (last picture). What do you think about this coin ? Thank you!
The only thing I see that could be construed as approximately a lighthouse shape looks like it's indented in the coin. Post mint damage. Someone probably squeezed a couple of the coins together.
Hi jallengomez, How do you explain the double strike on the obverse... picture #3? And D... is disapear on BARBA OS.?. Thank you!
The coin is too worn to give a definitive explanation as to what has happened to it. The doubling looks to be md.
Hi ikandiggit, Yes, that's what i don't understand... "is too worn". I have this coin since 1978 in a bag with others as you can see. 5 years of existance with a look like year 1850 seem to me impossible Thank you!
Possibly a metal detecting find from a beach. All the details are worn smooth. Also the lettering is spread out which is typical for worn/damaged coins. It isn't a mint error.
