My question is:- I have 2 WW1 Commemorative £2 coins which are slightly different. One has the writing around the circumference the correct way up if you have the Queens head uppermost. The other is the opposite ie the writing is upside down if the Queens head is uppermost. I believe this is an error by The Royal Mint, is this correct? Also if it is a Mint error, is there any value in either of these coins? Many thanks Andy Report this Post to the Staff

The incuse edge lettering on modern British £1 and £2 coins is applied to the blanks before they are fed between the dies that strike the obverse and reverse designs. The blanks are fed into the coin press totally at random, so the edge inscription may be either way up and may start in any position. So there is no additional value if the inscription is one way up or the other. My Trade List: https://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: https://goccf.com/t/191710 Report this Post to the Staff
