Jandola12 New Member United Kingdom 1 Posts	Posted 01/21/2019 04:16 am I have just found a 'standing on the shoulders of giants' £2 coin with a capital letter Q stamped neatly on both sides. The reverse side is right in the middle of the coin and the other side is just off centre. Question: Is this strike made during production or is someone defacing coins with a Q punch your thought would be appreciated Edited by Jandola12 01/21/2019 05:03 am Report this Post to the Staff
