1951 50 cent v1 in the ear

Post by NICKEL-TRADER » Sun Feb 12, 2017 3:42 pm

I have a 1951 uncirculated mint set with a error in the ear of the 50 cent, perhaps from filling but it makes it appear like King George V1 has a V1 in his ear. Has anyone encountered one of these? Thanks, Keith.

I cannot get the pictures to display but I strongly suspect that what you are seeing are die clash marks in the King's ear. That are quite common in this vintage of the George VI 50c coins.

Hi, I got the pictures to display, is this a die clash? thank you, Keith
