Description |
These slogans were added after the coin had been purposely abraided as part of the defacement. IRA was struck first across the Queen's portrait, then struckover with UDA. The A in IRA has been double punched, as has the A in UDA. The doubling on the Loyalist stamp is likely done intentionally to cover the Nationalist acronym, while the doubling of the A in IRA is likely just die chatter. While the seller had had the coin for many years, he doesn't recall how he acquired it. Purchased from John Knowles / London, London, UK. (Dc. 18, 2019) ($10).. |
