DigBreamer Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Hi, I've got a 2 pound coin that is off center and I'm 90% certin that it's not a fake... I ll find out for sure very soon. I am wondering if there are many of these coins that were produced off centre? It is a 2006 coin that marks the anniversary of the Engineer 'Brunel' On one side of the coin the words 'Two Pounds' are stamped about a millimeter lower and run into the silver piece of the coin and on the other site the inner ring of bubbles/dots run into the outer ring... Is this a regular thing that happens with these coins? I will get a photo up soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithuania Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 I had one like this. Sold at ebay for 5 GBP. As far as I know this is quite a common error. Good luck, Sarunas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 A lot of the bimetallic coins have issues such as these, although the majority are only slightly skew-whiff so it could be much scarcer if a major error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
