I like them . . Just bought three from a UK seller on ebay. Pretty much at face value plus shipping. Should be here next week . .  |

Regarding the micro-lettering, out of ten I got at the bank the other day, I found that four have blurred, smudgy micro-dating to such an extent that the year was very difficult, if not impossible to read with a USB magnifier (a good one I might add). Has anyone else found this?

Yes, Frank - several that I've seen have very blurred micro-dates. |

Pretty much the same level of manufacture as the previous 5 years of issued coinage. Lots of CudLots of die grease Off centre Edge reeding protrudes onto face of coin Illegible micro-dates. It really has become rather predictable and somewhat boring. |

I have a new £1 coin, where the milled edge is different, to all the other new £1 coins I have, if you look at the word 'one' the edge below is smooth and alternates but I have one coin where it is milled below the word 'one' and then alternates, Has any one else have or noticed any coins the same ?

@jossa38 I also have a pound coin like that, I'm interested is it the first of some fakes or if it is some error in the manufacturing.

I was wondering if anyone could help me,I have a new £1 coin, it has two blemishes around the edge which I assume are from the mint and also something which seems like a bonding agent between the inner and outer coin. I assuming this is something to do with the mint or a counterfeit coin. I post pics below hopefully :) in the hope any of you can advise. Thanks in advance.  Edited by Ormo

Newspapers running stories of many flawed new £1 coins mainly the centre silver bit falling out !!

Unfortunately ebay sellers have all cottoned on to the easy way of removing the centre and putting them back reversed or leaving the middle out. I feel there are very few that are genuine and allowing for the fact they strike approximately 30,000 an hour will always be the odd one. |

The silver bit is solid as is the rest of the coin.

By solid I ment it doesn't move,its not been tamperd with, my end anyway. I'm sure the silver bit is the correct way which would kind of make tampering pointless? No?

Sorry I understand now my comments were not directed at your coin and more the comments in the newspaper ,as I mentioned occasionally there will be a genuine one. Maybe take it to a coin fair and ask a dealer who can look at it in hand or alternatively post it to The Royal Mint. |
