steviepeas New Member United Kingdom 2 Posts	Posted 07/14/2021 1:01 pm I have this small gold coin, from UK 1907 Edward VII, it is 19mm diam and 1 mm thick, gold in colour, weighs about 3grams however we dont know what it is, some sort of sovereign we think! If some one could advise we would be grateful, thanks Report this Post to the Staff

PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 07/14/2021 1:22 pm At 19mm it purports to be a half Sovereign, but at 3g it is way underweight. 1mm thick is also low, so at best a replica, at worst a fake. It may even be polished brass. I suggest getting it tested by a good jeweller - if it is gold it has that value, but nothing more. Report this Post to the Staff
NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17985 Posts	Posted 07/14/2021 2:26 pm 3g is very light. It could be a replica made for jewellery. The amount of wear and the pattern of wear is also surprising: these coins circulated for only about seven years, as gold coins were replaced by banknotes at the start of WW1. My 1907 half-sovereign is a bit battered and well circulated, and there is far more detail on St George and the Dragon, and the designer's initials BP on the OP's coin are very faint and mushy.
