1871 Victoria Gothic Florin die minting error

1 post • viewed 31 times

I have an 1871 Victoria Gothic Florin which has a on the obverse.

 

It is a circular hairline crack in the die with a bit of a blob at the rim.

 

It is so feint that I only noticed it when I photographed the coin.

 

Has anyone ever come across this particular error before?

 

The coin itself is extremely fine – does the minting error add value to the coin?

 

Any help would be much appreciated.
