An 1844 Young Head Crown that has unfortunately been used as a brooch in a swivel mount.
It is attractive in that it is in fairly good condition and that being in a swivel mount can have a double usage.
HOWEVER, it is VERY unusual in that the lettered edge has been through the process TWICE - once the right way up and then turned over and stamped again.
I have never heard or seen of any other example of edge lettering that has ever been through the process TWICE, let alone with LETTERING both upright and then inverted !!!
This takes ERROR edges to an entire new level !
Is this UNIQUE - has another example of this type of edge been seen before - if so it has never been recorded.
