All this fuss about undated coins - every other coin has a mistake on it and they haven't increased in value.
For those that haven't figured it out, when did Great Britain or the United Kingdom have an Elizabeth I?
When the crowns of England and Scotland were united under James the 6th of Scotland he became James the 1st, and when James the 7th got promoted he became James the 2nd, so why is Betty different?
Even Cunard were aware enough to name the Queen Elizabeth 2 with a numeral two instead of "Second/II" yet when she did the honours she proclaimed it Queen Elizabeth the Second" causing some embarrassment.
Royal Mail figured this out very shortly after the Coronation in 1952 or whenever it was, and to this day their vans, trucks and pillar boxes up here don't have an EIIR inscription.
