Churchill Crown Double Die

[coinkat 21]

Greetings from across the pond:

Let's just start by getting past the question why I was looking at some Churchill Crowns.

So this is what we have- a fairly decent example with doubling at Churchill's outer eye brow extending down his nose, lips and chin. I did a goole search for die varieties and nothing helpful came back. It really does not look to me that this is machine doubling- especially at the chin.

While this crown is not highly sought after, it would seem this Double Die variety would have already been discovered and made its way into the mainstream of modern UK errors. I suppose its possible that it has and I am just unaware of it.

I would be interested if there are others here who could provide any further comments as to whether this coin has already been discovered.

Thanks in advance as I can appreciate how this whole subject seems rather strange,

I've probably had hundreds of varieties and have just paid them into the bank without looking! I don't think anyone likes to look at them for longer than is absolutely necessary, so maybe varieties have been missed. Perhaps you can post a picture.

I doubt that I have the ability to get a decent picture that illustrates the doubling and then post it here. I will see what I can do
