It looks as though two coins have somehow landed on top of each other, one of the coins obverse against the others reverse and have been struck together. The extra pressure obliterating this coins obverse making it impossible to identify how old it is. Have the 2 coins been pressed together with such Force that the second coins obverse has imprinted a mirror image of "ELIZABETH II" on this coins reverse? I think that makes sense maybe#128533; I'm a complete newbie but something along those lines seems logical to me? As far as my uneducated eye can tell it looks like a genuine error and one would think something like this would be quite rare and increase it's value significantly? Any feedback from someone with more knowledge in error coins would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Roxy#128139; Edited by RoxyWylde 05/26/2018 11:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 06/16/2018 8:49 pm Definitely a 'smash' job as per post by Crazyb0. This is a common occurrence, why people do it is a total mystery, just nothing better to do with their time I guess. Many of them appear on ebay as supposed "rare" errors, just scammers trying to catch the unwary. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
