Palestine – 5 Mils 1927 – Minting Erorr, Off Center – PCGS MS62 – Extremely Rare
The British were very strict and very few coin errors were discovered and leaked into the circulation, most of the mistakes in the Palestinian coins are of double perforation or that they are rotated a bit, this is a coin in uncirculated condition and a very unusual error, an error that can not be forged.
A special item and a great addition to any collection.
