Had this strange 2020 sov with a strike error of some description. Is it worth getting this certified as an error or no real point and just consider it bullion? Anyone know what type of error this is?

Thanks :)

I got one from atkinsons and it has exactly the same mark as yours.

Hi, this was probably caused by a filled die, where dirt has got into the machine, and has been stamped into the die itself, would have been cleaned the next time the dies where serviced,

so means you both have coins that where produced around the same time.

Could be classed, as a type or error however not sure how much over original price you could get for it.

1821 sixpences' for some reason suffered alot with this type of error not 100% sure of the reason though, however more than likely due to the way the edge of the die had been reeded/milled.

Grease spot looks good on a coin as the indent looks like a splash.

The RM quality control expert probably dropped his copy of “The Mirror” into the die press, as he fell asleep with a benson and hedges 100 on the go.   
 

You can always be sure of RM quality control.

I can see the scene now.....

Aled had been through the rigorous Royal Mint “Kwality Kontrol” course. A full 30 minutes of intense training to prepare him for validating proofs, and lesser coins.

Aled had received the master “Kwality Kontroller” certificate and following Union rules only only looked at coins when not on a tea or lunch break, or when reading the paper.  
 

Following numerous complaints about coin errors Aled was promoted to Grand Chief Kwality Kontroller.
