The alloy has turned out to be a bit too soft for a circulation application.
Small wonder that they are so easy to counterfeit!
Bring on the new bimetallic One Pound, hopefully with harder alloys.

 I assume this has been through a drier by the lack of milling on the edge, or it's just had a VERY rough paper-round. |

Came across another one.  Worse motto on this one tho. Also have one for the Road Coins thread, but as it's a leek (possibly 85) and was found in circulation not on a road, I'll add it here as well.  |

Wow RED - those last two are quite spectacular! I got two 1985's in change today but neither was as bad as some that have been posted here...

Couple more... nothing as bad as previous ones. I assume this one has spent some time on a busy road  and this one has definitely spent time in the ground (Soil still in the motto)  (Colours are all messed up but it was really dark brown) Edited by Red

Great stuff RED - you are posting some wondrous specimens. The last one I had was not too bad - might have got a F-15 grade in the USA!

Here is my poor ole '85 coin. I only just noticed today that the Royal Diadem is around the base of the leek.   life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

Nevol - your 1985 pound coin looks as if it must have come straight out of circulation around 1986!

Just bumping this topic with a photo of the beauty I got yesterday! With the introduction of the 12-sided pound coin next month, soon it will be rare to get any sort of 1985 pound coin in change!  |
