George V (1910-1936), Double-Struck, Double-Sided Brockage Shilling, 193X, Fourth Issue, struck in Cupro-Nickel (75% Cu; 24% Ni), edge plain, 5.55g, 12h (Spink 4039), a heavily double struck and double-sided brockage with only residual identifying details extant, good to fair, extremely rare, especially in this off-struck metal, with NGC Metallurgical Analysis Certificate (#6135263-001).
Whilst brockages of the Victorian period are occasionally met with (as in the case of the Gothic Florin on offer), 20th Century mint errors in the British series, and in particular brockages, are surprisingly rare. Evidently the quality controls employed at the time were sufficiently tight to ensure opportunities for collectors such as this are very seldom met with indeed.
Estimate: £60 - £100
