mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2964 Posts	Posted 06/28/2021 05:25 am Hey Tort, from all of us here... What you have there is a Great Britain 2012 7-sided fifty pence and probably does not carry much value. Report this Post to the Staff

This isn't my area of expertise, but you are talking about the big "50" defacing the Queen's face, right?

Eligius Valued Member Netherlands 176 Posts	Posted 06/28/2021 07:04 am Looks like a normal 50 p 2012 (mintage 32,300,000), see: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces5629.html EXCEPT for the large 50 on the head of the queen. This has been added later. I cannot see from your photo whether this "50" has been stamped (incuse) or has been soldered or glued on the coin. For an official issue by The Royal Mint the head of the Queen would never have been defaced. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21653 Posts	Posted 06/28/2021 07:27 am Going by the lighting, it looks like the "50" is raised in which case it would have been added later. Probably glued on. This would be considered damage and adds no value to a collector. Report this Post to the Staff
Tort New Member United Kingdom 3 Posts	Posted 06/28/2021 07:54 am thank you for all your replies... i did find it very strange having the '50' on the Queens face, and if it was added later on, that would explain why I can not find anything on the internet regarding it. the '50' is in fact a bit raised, suggesting then by your comments that it was added on to the coin. thank you very much everyone :) Report this Post to the Staff

tokenscot Valued Member United Kingdom 82 Posts	Posted 06/30/2021 2:16 pm Probably created for someone's 50th birthday or anniversary and subsequently put into circulation. The person adding the 50 was clearly not a numismatist as they failed to notice that the current 50p coins are point down. Report this Post to the Staff
