tommyc Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Hi, I recently came across a 1996 £1 coin with an error. The letters around the edge are off centre. I wondered if it has any value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinj Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Hello - I have a 1997 pound coin but it has the 1994 Lion rampant on the reverse (it should be Three lions). Is it a known mint error or an ignorant forgery? Thanks, Kev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottO Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 forgery probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoRnholio Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 I think what they mean is that this is post-mint damage. Genuine coins, but the "error" lettering was added afterwards by hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
