Would a Two Pound coin 1607-2007 with the 7?

Answer 1

The Two Pound coin you refer to is a 2005 coin commemorating the 400th Anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot by Mr Guy Fawkes and his friends. The edge of the coin has the inscription "REMEMBER THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER".

What appears to be a backward "7", is actually a stylised "5" if you look very closely.

These coins are still potentially in circulation so, unless they are part of a Proof or Uncirculated mint set or are individual Proof or Uncirculated coins and in absolute mint condition, they are worth Two Pounds.

Answer 2

There is no documentary evidence of this flaw.

Any coin with a "genuine" minting flaw would have some value, above the usual, as a collectible coin.

Genuinely flawed coins are not necessarily known about or documented until somebody turns up with one, since they are an "accident" of the minting process, and have escaped detection during quality control at the mint therefore, a valuation cannot be anticipated.

A reputable coin dealer should be able to identify and confirm the coin as genuine and make a valuation.

Answer 3

All years of issue of the modern British Two Pound coin are still in circulation so, unless they are part of a Proof or Uncirculated mint set or are individual Proof or Uncirculated coins and in absolute mint condition, they are worth Two Pounds.

The British Two Pound coin usually features a commemorative design on the reverse.

A Two Pound coin with the date 2007 on it may be -

2006 Two Pound coin commemorating the "Bicentenary of the Abolition of the Slave Trade in the British Empire", with the year 1807 interlinked with a chain on the reverse, with a small 2007 at the bottom.

2007 Two Pound coin commemorating the "Tercentenary of the Act of Union between England and Scotland", with the year 1707 on the reverse.

Answer 4

Yes, it would be, but no 2007 Two Pound coin was issued celebrating the 400th Anniversary of anything.
