Colombia 20 centavos 1971

4 posts • viewed 108 times
Hi all !

I have this coin : https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces14518.html
but there seem tobe some defects : "9" is closed, REPU is doubled, as is the face, 1 of the pearls looks like a comma, "EN" in "centavos" is missing, little off-centre

Otherwise the coin is in very good condition.
Are these known errors for this type ?

Thanks for your opinion !

Regards,
Tony

perusing examples available on ebay, all have the comma, as does indeed the one on the Numista page.
All have the closed and the doubling on REPU, and all examples have various die cracks and other flaws.
the filled die problem in EN on your coin is possibly unique.

​Thank you Mr. Midnight. So I guess there will be no extra value to be expected.
I do have the same 1971 coin without the doubling or the comma too, so Colombia mint is capable of striking flawless coins too. Unless this was the exception... :8D

Have a good evening !
