<p>[QUOTE=&quot;oshalme, post: 791285, member: 22821&quot;]Has anyone else noted that at least some of the British 2010 uncirculated half sovereigns has a blemish on obverse (the Queen&#039;s side)? I&#039;ve seen a couple of these coins and they all have a spot like they&#039;d been sandblasted or like there would had been something between the dies and blanks during the striking process.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have access to a 2010 half sovereign, please check the place just under the upper third of the tiara and let us know if you have a cloudy spot a as well. I&#039;ve seen the size of the spot being slightly different but it&#039;s always been on the same place. The scan shows where to look:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.cointalk.com/members/oshalme/albums/690/9841.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Also, what do you think about the quality of Royal Mint&#039;s coins (other than proofs)? It&#039;s just my opinion, but I think that the quality isn&#039;t what it used to be. Especially 2007 and 2008 uncirculated gold coins were horrible, frankly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
