This has the ‘wrong’ obverse portrait due to an error by The Royal Mint.

GB 1862 Half Sovereign (AU Details Harshly Cleaned)</b></p><p><br /></p><p>With an unknown mintage and less than 30 known examples, this is a once in a lifetime (or at least in a decade) opportunity for me. Rated R6 and rarely seen in any condition, I’m pleased I could acquire this specimen even in ‘details’ grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1216798[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1216799[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>3.
