Taylorism New Member United States 48 Posts	Posted 11/20/2020 12:38 am I recently bought a collection of coins and this quarter Sovereign was included. Being dated 1922 I dismissed it as counterfeit. However, the weight is 1.98 grams and diameter is 13.5 mm, which lines right up with the Quarter Sovereign's specifications. Could this be some type of pattern coin? I've spent the last week looking for any info, but have found nothing. Unfortunately I don't have access to a Sigma machine to test the gold. Any info anyone might have would be greatly appreciated!

Taylorism New Member United States 48 Posts	Posted 11/20/2020 12:57 am Wow, adding fantasy coin to my searches pulled up the info I have been looking for. Thank you! Makes sense as the collection I bought had a batch of early gold dollars that had been removed from jewelry. Thanks again for the help! Report this Post to the Staff

I guess there must be some market for these, else wouldn't be seeing them float around. Report this Post to the Staff
