So far, not much luck, as far as possible "error"...the seller I bought from, who handles a lot of these as an authrorized dealer, said his in hand were identical, although, our communication was not at the level I was hoping for(he's not a tried and true variety/error hunter, which is fine, but, I left not 100% satisfied with answers).
I found a 1-Oz 2014 Proof for sale online, and, there was a good closeup, and, IT had identical 2 non-matching beads under G in Shilling also, so, leaning towards "normal".....BUT...it leaves more questions than answers
1---why is JUST the 1 Oz this way..what or why does the Somali Mint do this type of bead work? A "Marker" of some kind?
Basically, it will take someone with a good eye, a complete run(not sure what year the Somali Mint started production), and, a run through of all years to determine if any abberation.
A fun little distraction with this...you guys know me..I don't give up easily. I'm going to write the Mint and ask..answer will take time, for sure.
