Additional Notes: An unusual little coin, with a blocked die error. The "5" in the date is very faint and was struck this way. When dirt, grease or other material gets stuck in a minting die, not all parts of the design come out. There is a brightness in the "5" area, but I suspect that's from someone giving it a rub to see the details more clearly than anything sinister. I've seen a few of these over the years and although not as valuable as some of the more impressive errors, it's a nice thing to have.

All coin gradings are my own and I would strongly suggest that you study the images carefully as they are an integral part of this listing.

For international orders, all applicable import, duty and tax fees are the responsibility of the buyer.

Thank you for looking and please have a look around my shops. Buy more listings and pay one postage fee.
