I have posted pictures of this coin on this site in the past asking if anyone knew what it is but it stumped everyone. Well yesterday I was researching another coin and low and behold I found this oddity. But the one I found the person said it was from Bahrain. It is actually from New Zealand. It is a trial strike from 1966 for a 20 cent coin. Seems they are fairly rare. I looked up the sold one and they are going for $1,800-$3,000 back in 2006. http://www.coinerrors.nz/error-type...ial-strikes/ My question is Should I send it in to PCGS to get it certified? Will it be worth it? Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16826 Posts	Posted 03/22/2020 6:39 pm I've never seen or heard of these before. I'm pretty sure they're not listed in Krause. As such, I'm not sure that PCGS will slab them. I think you'd need to ask them directly. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.

WT 8.42gm dia. 27.3mm Thick 2mm Raised edge/reeded The only reason I mentioned 20 cents is that is what it was closet to. Edited by moose59 03/22/2020 7:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
