rare British numismatics coins

-
British coins have a long and rich history, and there are many rare and valuable coins among them. Here are some notable ones: 1703 Queen Anne Vigo Five Guineas: Issued during the reign of Queen Anne, this coin is highly sought after due to its historical significance and limited mintage. 1933 British Penny: While not officially released for circulation due to the Great Depression, a few 1933 pennies were struck for ceremonial purposes, making them extremely rare and valuable. 1952 King George VI "Proof" Set: This set includes coins minted during the reign of King George VI, specifically the half crown, florin, shilling, sixpence, and threepence, all in proof condition. 1826 George IV Gold Sovereign: George IV sovereigns are relatively rare compared to other monarchs' sovereigns, and the 1826 issue is particularly prized among collectors. 2009 Kew Gardens 50p: Issued to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, this 50p coin has a low mintage, making it highly sought after by collectors. 1937 Edward VIII Pattern Coins: Although never officially released into circulation due to Edward VIII's abdication, a few pattern coins were struck in preparation for his coronation, making them exceedingly rare. 1817 George III Gold Sovereign "Ansell's Pattern": Named after its designer, William Ansell, this sovereign pattern features a different design from the standard issue, making it highly collectible. These are just a few examples, and there are many other rare and valuable British coins out there. As with any collectible, rarity, condition, and historical significance play significant roles in determining value.

So you purchased the coin back in 1968 you would  make money!

Unlike double die obverse (DDO) coins, which result from a misalignment of the die during the minting process, machine doubling occurs after the coin has already been struck. Machine doubling happens when the coin is struck by the die and then shifts slightly before the strike is completed. This shifting causes certain design elements to be slightly doubled or flattened.

Unlike genuine double die varieties, machine doubling does not increase the value of a coin and is generally considered a mint error rather than a collectible variety. While it can sometimes be difficult to distinguish between machine doubling and genuine double die varieties, experie
