    Greetings from a new boy. I'm not a coin buff by any means, although I used to "check my change" pre decimalisation, but for my 60th birthday my dear wife gave me 60 £2 coins and I decided to look through for anything unusual. The only oddity I found was a 1999 coin (the standard reverse) which appears to have the outer ring on back to front, i.e. the side with the Queen's head has "TWO POUNDS" and "1999" on the outer ring and the other side has "ELIZABETH II DEI GRA etc.". I'd always assumed the two metals were assemled before the coin was struck - but appasrently not. Is this unusual, or a forgery? Thanks for reading, James.
