2017 Gold Sov, Struck On The Day, Mintage 1817, Help With Error Please

if it is fact on the coin and not the case, it would add nothing to the value, it would actually take away from the value, as it is damaged. I would seek to have the coin exchanged, for a problem free example.

let's wait to see what others think.if it is a strike through it could be of more value..

@sel_691 All I think I need is better in depth view / magnification of this coin so all will be revealed.

Even if a hair was in the capsule which it wasn't it would not leave a mark like this.

When you say (Would sending it back support the cost of shipping) I am not sure what you mean? But in any case I won't be sending it back. This coin is a winner winner chicken dinner!

I imagine a few leeches would be lining up at The Royal Mint to grab this little beauty with a giant grin at my expense. Unfortunitly for them I am nobodys fool.

I tend to agree with silverwolf, such a mark does nothing for me.

Good luck.to you though if you think you've struck gold but call me a philestine I just can't see it.

I said genuine replies only. @sel_691 what is wrong with your eyes, when does a crack look like a scratch?

@DavidUK Regardless of what it does for you, it's easier to find hen's teeth than a modern error on such a sought after coin.

Common guys stop messing around

@DavidUK I think the error is considerable for a 2017 modern error from The Royal Mint for a gold Sov with limited mintage of only 1816 coins. A similar error for a high mintage coin may not mean anything value wise at all but it all comes down to *what coin it is, mintage and collectibility*

This is the sort of coin that will be worth what a buyer wants to pay.
An error coin doesn't have to fit your's or mine or anyone else's style of collecting.

There are big money players in a pool of collectors that will want this coin. One only has to do a search on the internet for a guide on sales of error coins to get a feel of the interest and see huge money being spent on rare collectible error coins.

The only question is finding the buyer who will pay the most when it comes to selling.
My children may have that to deal with one day as I have no intention of parting with the coin at this stage.
I was pleased to see the cracks down the side of the coin just to the left of the main crack which gives even more information on the error.

You seem hard work to have a conversation with, I am not claiming to be an expert in this particular area but you have asked for opinions while asserting you know best.

It seems like confirmation bias. You want the coin to be the crown jewels so look for evidence to support that conclusion.

We all know that rarity + demand creates value.

I think you wrongly assume the low mintage of the coin combined with the error multiplies value.

I would jave thought a high minted circulation coin with an unusual error would be more valuable than a not for circulation low mintage coin with a common error.

Now I am not saying that it is common but suppose for a moment every single coin had this break (possible given how few of these were minted) then the error wouldn't add much value as they are all like that.

It's not about whether the coin fits my collecting style, I am well aware some guys have money and will buy oddities like this...thats why I said some may assign extra value thats a matter for them. What I am trying to establish is a logical approach to determining how many people this will appeal to, how rare the error is on this run of coins, how appealing an example of a die crack error it is and how much demand for such an error on a coin of this type.

If you don't want to discuss such things you may be in the wrong place. Perhaps you just wanted someone to tell you its worth millions...

In the pictures you provided, that's when. All day long.
