Possible Errors on One Shilling Coins?

Hello,

I was hoping that I could get some guidance on some “possible” mint errors. 

 

If you refer to the picture, it shows quite a bit of pitting over the face of George VI, distorted lettering as well as edge issues. Would this be considered an error coin?

 

For the sake of context, I was given a coin collection some years ago by my mother. One of the secure metal boxes had over 200 coins that contained George VI two shillings and one shilling coins. The latter, were purchased by my uncle from his bank on or around the date of issue (1947 to 1951) and stored in sealed tubes. These haven't seen the light of day since then till now and appear to be in remarkable condition.

 

As I am going through them, there appear to be several coins in the same tube, that have similar errors. I'm wondering whether they could be date run errors? 

 

Thank you in advance.

You forgot the pictures.

Hi King,

 

Sorry for being thick but how do I upload pictures? I pushed the picture icon in my original email, selected a few pictures, and thought it attached them.

 

I just tried it again and my pictures won't attach.

 

Kind regards

Wait for the little green checkmark when you upload the pictures.  Perhaps you were too quick?

 Also assuming the ‘insert image’ icon above the reply box was used 

  like I did with that …

If the pictures won't load it may be because they are too big (assuming they are of a supported picture type). Try reducing the size. Needs to be under ~ 11,000 KB.
