Coin Scavenger Valued Member Canada 444 Posts	Posted 02/11/2015 11:10 pm I was thinking of posting this one on Feb 14th but I'm more curious if it's a Canadian gold sovereign. I'm guessing May got herself a love token Christmas 1901. Any chance the art work is worth more then the original canvas. Report this Post to the Staff

Could be an Australian or British minted sovereign since they're all the same weight. As for your question, to the right collector this could likely be worth more than the original coin since the engraving is so nice, unless of course the original coin was high MS or a key date (but I guess that's a moot point now).

Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 02/12/2015 12:57 am I think any one of these things could help increase the value. IMO A letter, note or story to go with it? Was this engraved for a family member? if not has anyone looked at it to prove it was engraved over a hundred years ago? Any initials anywhere to be seen? Either way its eye candy, and well done...nice. Report this Post to the Staff
