<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 2494275, member: 66"]Without seeing the coin we can't tell what is actually wrong if anything.

Just like "upside down" edge lettering on our dollar coins isn't an error, it's normal. The other thing I have found are pieces where the center hole in the ring was very slightly offcenter so the silver colored center has part of the design that is supposed to be on the ring on it. That is an error but unless it is SIGNIFICANTLY off center, or if the center piece was not completely in the hole when it was struck, the value is relatively minor. I see pieces being offered for as high as 1,300 pounds, but the ones I see are probably worth more like 4 pounds at most. (There is one guy offering his for an opening bid of 5 pounds.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
