Victoria Mint Error - Double Struck gold Sovereign 1848 AU53 NGC, KM736.1, S-3852C. Double struck, with the second strike off-center. Due to the rigid quality controls in the production of gold coinage, errors were rarely missed as they left the Royal Mint; as such, this charming piece is highly unusual and very desirable to high-tier error collectors. This survivor escaped the quality control, ending only slightly handled and toned, presenting not only one, but two Mint errors! It was double struck, with the latter strike off-center, just enough for the two dates to be seen on top of each other, leading to a unique eye appeal.
