Ætheling Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Hi, sorry for lateness of reply here, hope you still read the forum. Well yes in 1992 there was several varieties of 10p. The 'dot' refers to the dots of beads that go around the edge of the two sides of the coin. If you look at the 'L' and 'I' in ELIZABETH they will either point between the edge dots or at them. The same is true for the 1 in the 10 on the reverse, the base will point to a dot or between two dots. Of the 1992 series the between/between and the dot to dot combination are the rarest. The former is uncommon, the latter is rare (relatively speaking) as they only account for 0.5% to 1% of the entire mintage that year, but bear in mind how many billion were minted in 1992 due to it being first year of issue. The dot combinations exist for most other years too. This is all the information you wanted (and more).
