Anyone think much to this?

Hard to tell from the blurry image, but it could be a filled die error, this is where grease or something gets in the cavity that forms the letter in this case the E of one. This is the more likely, as I don't think it would be optimal to forge the Gibraltar coins, because they more likely get looked at and are not as easy to pass off as the British coins.

I tend to agree that it looks like a filled die, although it is difficult to tell from the photo.

This is all new to me. Thanks for the info - was it worth anything? I guess not much judging by the fact it had no bids when I last looked..

Filled dies are very very common, I have a pile of coins on my desk now from circulation and a few of them have filled dies, mostly the pennies. I would doubt that you would get much more than the quid it is worth.
