Looks like a case of die clash to me, which would be a mint error. Edited by svslav 09/23/2012 3:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 09/24/2012 3:18 pm Wow sweet find! I'm collecting olympic 50ps like many other people, but, this being a die clash, I'm not sure how that will affect it. I suggest you sell right now, before the olympic fad dies down. Sorry, not a clue of its worth. An olympics 50p is usually worth about Â£2, but a die clash really boosts the price because of the mint's comparably high standards. Report this Post to the Staff

It is a nice error, I've seen Modern Pentathlon with a die clash too, despite the mint's high standards (we only have their word for this) mint errors are not uncommon - I have a dozen or so errors received from change over the last few years.
