If you pause the video when you hold both Battle of Hastings 50ps, you can do the auto-stereogram magic eye thing to see the differences (this also is a good way of solving the find the differences games in newspapers)...and I can tell you that the 50ps are identical.

That’s 2 different questions!! Am I crazy? All coin collectors are a little bit 😂 Is this 50p different? I think it’s been worn and aged to appear slightly different but other than that I think it’s normal. 😊 Great stuff Christopher 👍🏻

I'm from the US so I don't know much about this currency but I'm learning a lot from watching your videos. I don't know how proof coins are done there if you even have such coins but in the US proof coins have the the dies polished to a mirror finish and then stamped on the planchet which then gives the coin that same mirror finish and they are considered as NIFCs. That is what it looks like to me.

I guess that's one of those £63k Battle of Hastings coins that the internet was mad about a while ago!

Take a look at the front tip of the crown, clearly almost touching the letter E. The other has a gap.

Found a 2012 Jersey 50p coin in my change today
@ashnewto2 күн бұрын
I found a around 10 that looked the same this week, including some commemoratives. They looked odd, and fake I thought at first. I then decided maybe over cleaned too

Hi Christopher, good work with the latest book. Question for you though, I just found a 2010 shield! A great NIFC, but where can I find how many were minted? The royal mint’s circulation numbers only list Girl Guiding for 2010. Any help much appreciated!
@russell-di8jsКүн бұрын
Is it dodgy metal? Over the years I've had some mega light 50ps like a really cheap token, always spent them of course!

That battle of Hastings looks like it’s been double struck on the reverse? Either that or it’s one from a BUNC pack

A lot of "Diddlies" today! I think the BoH looks OK. It's probably all the muck and scuff marks around the edge inscription that makes the letters appear larger.
