Alan Pillar of the Community Canada 1463 Posts	Posted 08/31/2017 1:53 pm I don't like the edge on the upper right of the queen side, is mushy but need better pics to really take a good look. There are fake pound coins out there. Report this Post to the Staff
mtuma3 Pillar of the Community United States 744 Posts	Posted 08/31/2017 3:04 pm When I was in Scotland last April I picked up some of the new pound coins. The guy at the Bank told me they changed them because as much as 25% of the old pound coins are fakes... Mark ANA Member My7070 Report this Post to the Staff
Coopertron5000 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 516 Posts	Posted 08/31/2017 5:37 pm It looks fake. There are alot out there, I've had some truly dreadful fakes in change. The worst I have is made out of some sort of white metal and brass plated/washed, as it's circulated the brass wash has come off exposing the white metal underneath. I held onto that one.

I had seen a new £1 coin myself and I think it is more secure. But, it is not a beautiful coin, methinks. Time will tell if the Government succeeds in combating counterfeit £1 coins this time round. I think you can check The Royal Mint's website as they do have a video on how to distinguish a real £1 coin from a fake one. Report this Post to the Staff
