Hogarth Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 734 Posts	Posted 04/29/2023 03:20 am The coin has been struck on a cracked and defective planchet. If the damage was on the die that deep ravine across Britannia's torso would be raised and not incuse as we see here. Report this Post to the Staff

molydeii Pillar of the Community Turkey 870 Posts	Posted 04/30/2023 1:20 pm I agree with Hogart. The coin seems to be struck on a defective blank. For a variety or error collector, it should be worth something. However I know British collectors aren't much interested to error coins at least as much as American collectors Report this Post to the Staff
