Philsmith81 Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Hi All, Wonder if any can help?? I have a 1997 GBP £2 coin with a section of the inner coin missing. Can anyone tell me if this is a mint error or post mint damage? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccg Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Interesting - looks like a straight clip on the inside portion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzkirk Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Wow, looks like a mint defect, sometime before pressing into outer ring. Someone should have more info, other than my guess. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 That's really an interesting piece. I'd guess a good chance of mint error. Have you tried contacting Spinks or one of the UK firms that may have detailed info on this type of error? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
