£2 - doubled die error?

Hi
I found, in my change, a two pound coin (2010) with doubled lettering on the obverse.




I thought it was a double struck coin, but I remember finding a similar error last year (on another 2010 £2 coin).

Is this a die variety?

Does anyone want it?

Nice piece, I'll keep my eye out for those! Just an error I'd say. Great piece.

It's not a die variety but really a double strucked coin.

I'd like to have it

It's a die variety.. not double struck.    It's a really nice doubled die..
In the process of making the die something went wrong..

Classes of Doubled Dies

Doubled dies are created when the hub imprints an additional, misaligned image onto a die. There are many ways this misalignment of images can occur, which have been classified into eight accepted classes:

Class 1, Rotated
    A class I doubled die results when the die receives an additional hubbing that is misaligned in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.

Class 2, Distorted
    A class 2 doubled die results when the hub's design moves toward the rim between hubbings.

Class 3, Design
    A class 3 doubled die results when a hub bearing a different design stamps a die bearing another design.

Class 4, Offset
    A class 4 doubled die results when the die receives an additional hubbing that is misaligned in an offset direction.

Class 5, Pivoted
    A class 5 doubled die results when the die receives an additional hubbing that was misaligned via rotation with a pivot point near the rim.

Class 6, Distended
    A class 6 doubled die results when the die receives an additional hubbing from a hub that was distended.

Class 7, Modified
    A class 7 doubled die results when the hub is modified between the die's hubbings (e.g., a design element was chiseled off).

Class 8, Tilted
    A class 8 doubled die results when a die and/or hub is tilted during a hubbing.




This has come from skillz and knowledge of numismattery, not from wikipedia!!!

So Fluke, would you say that is a rotated class 1?

Very nice doubled die! If you ever find another, let me know!

I have 2 of these coins if anyone is interested??

​ I am interested

Oh! I thought for a minute William had returned! That kid was a nice boy. I swapped with him in person twice. I wonder what happened to him?

​Yes, I thought the same.

I have no idea where he went, I hope he merely lost interest and it's not something more sinister.
