Question:
I have a Mary Rose £2 coin,I know it's from 2011. But this one has no date & no writing around the side. Could this make it really rare? Could it be worth a lot?
Reply:
What you likely have there is a forgery. Many are hitting ebay at the moment.
Things to look out for;
Does the raised surfaces of the coin appear 'frosted' (Proof like) and Is the edge writing missing.
Compare the edge of your Mary Rose coin to that of a normal £2. You'll notice that on your Mary Rose the lines are more spaced out. If this was an error, the edge lines would be the same.
