Iv tested the coin and it comes up silver even under the flakey bits. not sure why a silver coin would do this. iv found many silver coins but not one that has flacked like this one, strange.

We might need a picture to get us started please

Hi everybody, im new to the forum. has anybody found any of the 2011 5 pences with errors. i found these 3 in my change. there must be thousands with errors. Any one seen them. jackie

Nice one. looks like shes got a big wart on her cheek as well. bet she doesent know about this special portrait of her. lol. dont think she would be amused

There nice examples. Why does it take royal mint so long to recognise errors ?. Welcome to the forums Jackie That's not really an error, more an example of how lax the Mint have become in standards. It's probably a die crack or something like that, and the 5p is so small that probably the inspectors failed to notice such a tiny phenomenon until a large number had been minted. If you found 3 it's unlikely to have any rarity. Thanks for bringing it to our attention though. Hi Thank you for you reply. i must agree with you. yes it looks like royal mints standards have droped. the other 2 coins are different, one is die filled. and the 3rd coin the word penny is just a mess. I thought die cracks ect were classed as errors. now im confused. jackie There's more than one way of looking at everything! To some they would be classed as errors, but among the collecting community they would be regarded more as deterioration, or degradation; dies wear, or crud gets onto a die or a blank, or dies crack. To collectors, an error is usually regarded as something that is the result of human error not simply a machine. For example, blundered dates, or an overdate / overpunched letter, spelling mistake, design flaw - that kind of thing. Thank you peckris for explaining it to me. im new to coins and learning. i was given a few old coins a while ago im only just starting to look at them. i have a few wheat cents and noticed the word liberty was all messy. this is when i started looking at error coins. since then found my self inspecting every coin on my purse lol. There is one coin i cant identifie i will post it on the forun to get some help. jackie Hi. I collect error coins like this aswell as the "normal" coins. In 20,30,70 years time they might be recorded as errors and if looked after now will be good examples in years to come.

It's just possible - but do remember that the sought-after 1946 mint flaw penny was an isolated example in an era where such things were simply not the norm. There are just so many slack products coming from the Mint now that I find it difficult to imagine they will ever be seriously catalogued. I'm willing to be proved wrong though. Think you could be wright. i only had 6 of these 2011 5 pees. i found errors on 3. they might only be small errors. but there nice examples. as soon as my fella came home i made him hand all his change over. {wats mine is mine. wats his is mine. lol} and yes i found another error.. like i say there must be thousands with errors. .

I think that it is most probably a Jetton, "a reckoning counter" Hi Bernie. thank you. i will google jetton see what i can find. jackie

Hello. could any body tell me if the is a medieval coin ?. or sone kind of token. or coin weight. any ideas most welcome. thank you jackie.

Hi Debbie.no your not wrong hun. im all woman. its nice to see everybodys post i had a little giggle. jackie.

Thanks guys. i would never had found it. cheers jackie
