Is it rare?
The 2023-25 Bee - raised metal on bee (die crack/chip) is a mint error or variety. Errors are prized by collectors, and the right one can be worth many times face value.
What to look for
Raised EXTRA metal on a bee (e.g. the upper legs) is the signature of a cracked/chipped die - same family as the Navy 'cat on mast' and Paddington 'crisp packet'. Genuine if the raised metal is part of the strike (smooth, same colour, follows the design); debris/residue sits on top. Not yet a documented named Bee variety - confirm with a 10x loupe (and check other Bee £1s for the same mark) + Royal Mint / Coin Hunter.
