TBH most buns had disappeared by 1968 - 69 probably many more were around in the mid sixties but then they were in terrible grade I bought a mint bag weighing quite a few kilos from e ebay about a year back and found 2 1869 coins which corroborates the sellers story that they were unsearched
If this has happened in the mint in bags , in transportation to a bank for example or during storage in a bank or at any other time its impossable to say, the only thing you can say for certain is the coin would be worth much more without it
I love the way its listed under Elizabeth II sixpence why can he not get the simplest thing right do you think I should email him and tell him he has it wrong or do you think I will get an insulting reply.
Answers on a postcard please.............
