World Crowns and Minors2982 Great Britain. Mint Error 20 Pence, 1998. Struck on a small
neat round nickel or cupro-nickel (foreign on NGC holder) plan-
chet, well centred and with a weight of 2.8 grams (normally 5
grams) this may have been produced as a result of experimen-
tation at the British Royal Mint. In the early 1990s the size (and
weight) of the 5 pence and 10 pence coins was reduced dra-
matically, and there is speculation that the same fate was later
considered for the 20 pence coin. NGC graded MS-65.
Estimated Value ................................................... $100 - 125
2983 Great Britain. Mint Error 20 Pence, 1998. Struck on a

struck and mint state. NGC graded MS-63 Red & Brown.
Estimated Value ..................................................... $75 - 100
