xshift Pillar of the Community United States 2669 Posts	Posted 03/11/2009 5:43 pm Wait a sec.. those don't say "coronation coin" on them. They have the regular legend. I'm not sure what this is... looking! Report this Post to the Staff

Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 03/11/2009 5:58 pm ah, I had a feeling that this wasn't truly a sovereign or gold even. Report this Post to the Staff
WpgLwr Pillar of the Community Canada 1082 Posts	Posted 03/11/2009 5:59 pm I didn't think so either, but it will be interesting to see what the final bid will be, in case someone else thinks it's a sovereign. Report this Post to the Staff
Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 03/11/2009 7:59 pm G'day, KE7 was crowned in 1902. This item resembles a half-sov, in diameter and design. Of course, the legend is "wrong", in more than one way. It's not easy to judge from the pics on ebay, but the G&D lack the detail usually seen on gold coins, and the colour reminds me of brass. So, I suspect, we are looking at a "gaming token" or "play money". It would be interesting to know the weight: gold ought to weigh 3.99 grams. Brass would be significantly less.

QuickSilver Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1077 Posts	Posted 03/11/2009 8:05 pm Certainly not a coin. What has 1909 got to do with the coronation of Edward VII anyway? Report this Post to the Staff
