Coin appears legitimate looking at PCGS database, but I haven't seen staining like this on any of my other Sovereigns (see pictures). Any idea what this is? Is it likely a fake? If anyone has any insight I'd really appreciate it! Report this Post to the Staff

Numis10124 New Member United Kingdom 3 Posts	Posted 06/15/2021 09:17 am Hi, I believe the coin is the one that was shown on the listing, however you only see this staining under the light so it wasn't really apparent. Report this Post to the Staff

Hogarth Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 735 Posts	Posted 06/15/2021 12:13 pm Of course you do. As a consumer you have the right to return anything you are not happy with for a full refund. The law is the law and a seller simply stating 'no returns accepted' does not circumvent this. Report this Post to the Staff

Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 06/19/2021 07:55 am I don't think it looks fake. I didn't think sovereigns toned like that but it looks like toning, or maybe a residue. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 06/19/2021 09:00 am If it is a residue, acetone is certainly worth a try. Toning on 22ct fine gold coins normally takes many decades to be obvious. For this coin an accurate check for weight is warranted. Edited by sel_69l 06/19/2021 09:01 am Report this Post to the Staff
