Grosey Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Hello everyone I'm still getting the hang of coin grading. Is this 50p coin something that could be recognised as an error? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have both the 2018 and 2019 10p alphabet complete in the BU type, not proofs. Edited November 1, 2022 by VKurtB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing both sides of the coin now, I'm a little surprised that NGC decided to call this a rotated obv die error, I guess it must have been right on the edge. It's a neat coin but not one I would have sent in, nor one I would expect to recover grading fees on. But you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have both the 2018 and 2019 10p alphabet complete in the BU type, not proofs. Just revisited this forum and realised this never got answered! The beginning of 50p commemoratives was in 1973 when the 50p was the large size. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces1382.html When the 50p was resized to be smaller in 1997, both this EU one and the NHS 50p were the first smaller commemoratives. Also cool to have the alphabet sets. Interestingly, they are not actually Brilliant Uncirculated, they are struck to circulation standard but just never circulated.

powermad5000 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I tried a rotate of a picture of your coin on my phone and it took about 20 degrees to get the alignment to come back into position. It sure doesn't look that far off when just observing it in the photo, but it only takes 15 degrees for NGC to give it the attribution. I am one who is less about value and more about the coin having the proper designation. Good outcome! Grosey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
