Lotad Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) I noticed one of my 2013 Wales floral £1 has the obverse/reverse rotated 180 degrees (I'm not sure what the correct terminology is). Hopefully from the mirror photos you can the see the misaligned sides. It weighs 9.5g and the diameter is 22.5mm, so looks up to spec. Edge inscription reads as it should - PLEIDIOL WYF I’M GWLAD. The second E in Elizabeth looks very flat. What do you think, real or fake? Is this a known error? Edited January 28, 2019 by Lotad Quote
Mr T Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 When it's rotated like that it's called an upset. They're not common in this day and age but they happen from time to time. I can't say for sure if it's real but it looks okay to me (the E would just be from a grease-filled die or the like). Quote
rpeddie Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 i have sold a couple of these over the last year, as far as i'm concerned they ticked all my boxes for being authentic. Quote
