    I'm no expert on British coins, but maybe a die clash?

    I couldn't count those as proper errors that too me is acceptable given the amount of these babies they pump out each year !

    So are you saying you actually sat and looked at 500 pennies on the off chance of getting an error ? :S all I'm saying is its very minor. I work with dies for a living and they have to be fairly spot on for cars to reduce costs. I just expected something more to the tune of an un-dated 20p when I saw the title. I only ever keep rotations to sell/swap any great errors or the 1992 10p scarce varieties.

    First I am almost sure what in the first set of photos is a die clash.
    As with all errors unless it's a Very Very rare one it's not worth much more than what a Tpg Will grade it.
    :) Errors are a hard sell unless it's sold While Hot.

    Put up a pic of the whole thing, maybe I will appreciate it more :) errors have never really bothered me. I haven't even got an undated 20. I do keep coins if I buy with die cracks (1908 BWA 1/10 penny has one) I then bought another to compensate for It ha !

    Each too their own though :)
