    Come across this is a few different coins I had. Under the microscope all the words are doubled up. The dots are half missing on the queens side and the letter "will" are spelt "WIII" advice and thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Cheers guys!

    Awesome yeah thanks for that. What do u think the value is. Also do u know what is going on with the lettering on it all doubled up. Is it a mint error

    Looking at other minted ones they are visible writing. However under the microscope expectations and some other words on it are blurry. I haven't found any others with this error. So I'm wondering what happened. And does this value increase due to the error

    British colletctors have no real interest in errors you need a microscope to see. US collectors are the error mad people and they have little or no interest in foreign coin errors.
    So, no, I do not think trivial mint erorrs that amount to no more more than allowable production variation of a mass produced object would add any value.

    Any value would be due to the relative scarcity of the series, but I cannot see it being anything remotely resembling the figute quoted.

    You may have more luck finding examples if you use his correct name, Charles Dickens. Possibly the second most famous British writer.

    It is a bit like collecting slightly misprinted cereal boxes.

    Charles Dickens is probably the second most famous British writer. First would be W.S. - but no prizes for guessing his name !

    You can see the errors without the scope
