NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17914 Posts	Posted 10/03/2021 6:50 pm Hello and to the Forum! I'll leave it to others to comment on your 2017 coin. Maybe it's a forgery. Please could you post clear photos showing the complete reverse and obverse of the coin and a section of the edge? The 2016 coin appears to have environmental toning and has the scarcer type of edge reeding. If you look immediately under the 'N' of 'ONE POUND' on the reverse, most pound coins have a blank segment of edge, but around 1 in 20 2016 coins have a milled segment. They aren't particularly rare. I've never found a pound coin of any other date with this anomaly. I've noticed Machine Doubling on quite a few bimetallic pound coins but I haven't seen an example of doubled dies, which would be considered more collectable.

If the 2017 is a forgery too, it's a much more sophisticated, realistic forgery. I'd assume that one was OK. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

I also have the following with a similar edge GB 2017 & GB 2018 and these are slightly magnetic unless these are possible fakes too ? Thanks for your comments its invaluable as I'm still learning Report this Post to the Staff
