Agreed. It looks as though it's been in some machinery, or maybe crushed in something akin to a vice. Quote
leoniedee07 Posted September 1, 2018 Author Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) Ok thanks , the lines go both ways and overlap in some places. thank you for replies so fast I also dound a £2 coin with half the beading missing around the queens head ( writing is right way ) is that of any interest ?

Unwilling Numismatist Posted September 2, 2018 Posted September 2, 2018 The beading is very random, with probably less than a third of all coins being complete - you would be less likely to get a complete beaded ring, but given the numbers minted "less common" would be a more appropriate description than the popular "Rare". The edge writing can be either way up, there is not a "wrong way up" error. Quote
