CGBill New Member United Kingdom 2 Posts	Posted 09/09/2018 11:57 am I have a £2 coin which is very disfigured and there is spillage of colours between the borders. I was wondering if it is more likely a fake coin than very poorly minted, and if it is poorly minted does it have any value. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21606 Posts	Posted 09/09/2018 12:12 pm That's an error coin. Nice find. The centre core wasn't placed properly in the hole when the coin was struck and the pressure of the strike spread it into the outer ring. The more space between the core and ring, the more valuable it is. Alsoto the CCF Edited by JimmyD 09/09/2018 12:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
