<p>[QUOTE=&quot;frog eye 73, post: 2169074, member: 71531&quot;]Hello, as a welsh collector of all coins American and British the fact that minor flaws in coins can&nbsp; create such an interest .</p><p>There are collectors in the world that do appreciate the errors that maybe caused by mechanical failure or just human &quot;error&quot;.</p><p>I have found that over the last 40 years ,currency being minted in home land llantrisant mint have&nbsp; put quantity over quality .So only recently the mint has taken an interest to any coin with any flaw carrying our good queens head on it.</p><p>By right she is our Queen and what we have and still do carry in our pockets should be a perfect resemblance of the value and state the country is in. More time taken in quality control , looking after what we have and getting that right should be a priority.</p><p>A gentleman should by definition bring to others issues that pleases the rest. Not turn a blind eye and sweep under the carpet ,act as if cockups never happened.llantrisant mint are working to build a reputation throughout the world maybe borrowing the philosophy of the American mints would enhance that once more.</p><p>I will continue to collect and bring any errors found on our coin / currency to the attention of the mint. </p><p>1. Because it shouldn&#039;t happen!</p><p>2. Because I like them they interest me.</p><p>3. A question asked is a problem solved.</p><p>For the Op not a rant mate I love the coins, for years British collectors have been brushing these coins under the carpet , with no interest .</p><p>I can tell you that there are collectors here with so much knowledge and admiration for any coin that&#039;s &quot;Flawed&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
