Turnstone New Member United Kingdom 35 Posts	Posted 08/06/2012 2:18 pm Is that a small P I see on the bar under St George? This would mean it is from the Perth Mint in Australia and these can have a premium over the British version of the same coin. Report this Post to the Staff
watchingfromafar New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 08/07/2012 02:16 am Turnstone, you have a great eye. There is indeed a "P" mint mark on the coin. Here's a better picture. On a side note, when I told my mother this story she reminded me that my uncle passed away exactly 15 years ago to the day that I discovered the coin (August 5th). Life is interesting sometimes, yes? Cheers. Report this Post to the Staff
