So, I consider it an error. This coin is a higher grade than most William III's I see, however was cleaned and has some surface hairlines. Doesn't really bother me, this coin is certainly sharp.

Hogarth Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 735 Posts	Posted 10/04/2016 1:22 pm I'd agree, planchet flaw and not post mint damage. The copper coins of 1694-1701 were often struck using cast blanks so examples showing these kinds of faults are not unusual. Here's one of mine which was also struck on a substandard blank (obverse). Double struck reverse too. Look at that date! Report this Post to the Staff
