GHOST IMAGE ERROR 1916 Great Britain One Penny King George V Image on Reverse...

Description: For sale is a 1916 Great Britain King George One Penny... It has a reverse "PIDT", or progressive indirect design transfer error, also known as a "Die Clash" error. This is a great example of "ghosting" on a coin I am referring to a fascinating numismatic anomaly. During the reign of King George V, the British mint encountered difficulties in producing pennies. The resulting issue was a phenomenon known as "ghosting" where a faint, partial image of the coin's obverse (the side with the king's head) appears on the reverse (Britannia side). Why does it happen?This occurred due to a combination of factors: Coin metal: The bronze blanks used for the pennies were often of inconsistent quality.Striking pressure: The force used to imprint the coin's design wasn't always sufficient.Coin design: The detailed portrait of King George V was challenging to reproduce accurately.What does a ghost image look like?Typically, a ghost image of King George V's head, or part of it, can be seen faintly imprinted on the Britannia side of the coin. It's often partial and indistinct. Collecting Pennies with Ghost ImagesPennies with ghost images are sought after by coin collectors due to their rarity and unique appearance. They can significantly increase the coin's value compared to a regular penny.
