Post Your United Kingdom (Great Britain) Coin Acquisitions.

@Princetane not sure if you notice the lamination flaw on the I think the obverse side (on the person leg), was wondering if that was suppose to be common on this coin .

I noted the lamination error on the 1953 Crown, which is interesting.
The 53 Crown is exceedingly common here in the UK. I do the occasional market stall and so gather a stock of spare coins to sell - I could probably get together 30 or 40 of them now, all in the perspex boxes. I can't say I look at any of them closely, so I can't say how common errors like this would be.
I can say that UK collectors don't generally get excited by "error" coins where the anomaly is down to poor quality control. "Variations", where there is a recognisable change or amendment to the die on the other hand are well sought after.
As an error, I think your coin would not command any premium, and in fact many collectors would avoid it as an imperfection.

For @Princetane, a lamination error is where the underlying metal flan of a coin splits because the sheet was incorrectly prepared or rolled.

Ryurazu - I would definitely keep it - error coins are great, especially as Paddy says for such a bog standard coin.

Thanks for the info.

Even here in NZ, nearly every lot I buy in will have one or more of the following if UK coins are included

1. A 1953, or Churchill or Silver Jubilee and/or Diana crown
2. Several very worn Britannia pennies
3. A 1968 to 1971 5p or 10p piece dull with mint bloom from the plastic packet.
4. If any silver, an super worn 6d or smaller of King George V or 6 after 1927.

Lovely add!

No, don't believe there is a way to tell from a Mandy set 3 pence and a normal one. As for a proof coin I believe that would have a cameo effect on the coins, in this case I don't think they are proofs.
