rare coin?

I found a 1998 2 pound coin with a typographical error on the side inscription.  It reads "Standing on the shoulders of g ants" with a missing "i" in "giants".  I have examined it very closely and the "i" was not scraped off.  It was never stamped.  I suspect that typographical errors on coins are rare. Is this true?  Would this make the coin worth more than it's 2 pound face value?

After a bit more research, the coin is not worth more than it's face value but it is not a fake.  Apparently this error is not too uncommon. http://www.24carat.co.uk/twopoundsstandingontheshoulders ofgants.html
