Anyone think much to this?

Gibraltar spelling error on ebay

Could it be fake? I have no clue... what does anyone think anyway, could it be worth all that much? is it too worn down...penny for your thoughts

Hard to tell from the blurry image, but it could be a filled die error, this is where grease or something gets in the cavity that forms the letter in this case the E of one. This is the more likely, as I don't think it would be optimal to forge the Gibraltar coins, because they more likely get looked at and are not as easy to pass off as the British coins.

I tend to agree that it looks like a filled die, although it is difficult to tell from the photo.

This is all new to me. Thanks for the info - was it worth anything? I guess not much judging by the fact it had no bids when I last looked..

Filled dies are very very common, I have a pile of coins on my desk now from circulation and a few of them have filled dies, mostly the pennies. I would doubt that you would get much more than the quid it is worth.

Yep
