*sigh* 3 years and the mint still cant make a decent job of the new d

[scott]

1. i would understand if this was end of the year, but so early in the year for a coin that is a cudded mess?

2. this isn't the first minting mess of recent times (got many cudded 2003-5 20ps) (2001 doubled obverses on 5p and 10, 2 of each? i only have ONE other coin like it.. a 1992 type 1 10p)

3. this is the WORST i have seen for circulation

its a hard photo to take to get the light to shine off the cuds so they are easy spots. one on rim next to T on elizabeth one under the T and one under H also one on corwn.

there was ANOTHER cudded 2010 on ebay last night (large cud on both sides near the rim)

What coin(s) and date(s) have you spotted this on? I'm in the US so don't get to see the new coinage in use ... (maybe this autumn on a visit!).

[scott]

the main problem is the new design coinage, weak strikes and cuds were poping up often on 2008 redesign pieces and it seems they have not gone away

but i have found cudding on 2003 20p, i even found a nice doubled portrait one, 2001 seems to have the strasnge double strking effects i dunno if its to do with the thicker rim that that date has.

oh look

a cud in the EXACT SAME SPOT on the reverse as the 2008's
