It is a 2014 $2 remembrance coin and it appears to have an error on the word 'Elizabeth' where all the letter except the'B' seem flat and not as visible. I have searched google and read one post where someone has had similar coins. I would like to know what this type of error is called and how it occurs and also is it what we classify as a variation? I'm am still very new to collecting and any info is appreciated. Thanks in advance Matt Report this Post to the Staff
