Replica "king's shilling"
copper123 replied to Peckris's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
well i did get one - i must admit it is not really that awful , while the coin itself is actually a white metal (full marks for that!) the packing is super - just a shame a few details are wrong - no reeded edge to the coin but there again they have to be sure you can tell it from an original coin -

Rotographic Website Relaunch

What did they call july before Julius caesar was born?

reviews are quite funny - prob worth buying just to leave a scolding review lol -
They charge a fortune for putting it in a "plastic tomb" and cannot be bothered putting even the most basic info on the coin - they miss off the moneyer

Maybe a obverse die that was due to be scraped wasn't and was accidentally used again by mistake - my idea of what happened -
Cracking Queen
copper123 replied to Nicholas's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I suspect it happened because of the "dent" rose obverse 20p die was twined with the wrong reverse. Easy mistake to make i would emagin when you have two different obverses and two different reverses in one year
