Another one to add to my small collection of double struck flipped over in collar small cents. This was from the May 2020 "Coin Expo" Geoffrey Bell Auction. I have as of yet, to find one in mint state condition from George VI.

From George VI, I have the following flip-over strikes in small cents: 1941, 1944, 1949, and 1950, all from F to EF grades.
I have other years, double struck, rotated in collar but I find those not as cool as the flip-overs.

Flipovers are really cool, wonder how these stay in circulation for so long ?

This is especially true for the hammer die (reverse) on the second strike. Have a look at my 1962 and 1970, as mint state examples.
