2013 50p royal mint error

Recommended Posts

The best tell is whether or not any of the design is missing, I can see some of the bottom left hand of the reverse is missing, making me think it's off center.

If you want to be sure, put it up against a regular 10p and see if the size is the same. If it's off center AND broadstruck, then it should be slightly bigger than a normal 10p.

But it's definitely off center ;)

Sounds like both a broadstrike and an off center strike then! Well done :)
