Nuttybumble Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Ok so yesterday I got given a 5p coin in my change which went straight in my pocket, as usual. When I emptied my change out later in the day I noticed that the 5p looked different. On observations, and research, it has many errors to the front, back and edge. Lettering missing, flattened out stamping, loss of details to name a few. So I'm looking for advice on what to do? It it of value? Help please. Thanks. Michelle  Quote
Nordle11 Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Hi Michelle, the missing letters are due to grease filling the die. Not uncommon and probably not worth your time selling it. Maybe a few pounds to the right person? Quote
Paulus Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Welcome Michelle Just down to poor standards and quality control at the Mint, all too common these days! Quote
Nuttybumble Posted March 24, 2016 Author Posted March 24, 2016 the back has more errors than the front. Ahhhhhhhh well back to work tomorrow lol Quote
Nordle11 Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Worth the question anyway! If you find anything else interesting like that feel free to share with us. Quote
