Hi bought this from a guy selling metal detector coin finds on ebay.seated Britannia on reverse obverse is Georgivs 1111.The date is 1826 or 1828 not too sure.3.84 Grams.Any help appreciated thanks
Is this not gold then ,it is dated 1820 something and when I shine light off the coin itsi got shiny gold like look ,but photos don't pick that up
I can tell you one thing. That definitely isn't gold. Gold will never corrode like that. I strongly suggest that you don't buy a coin that you have no knowledge about. Was the seller advertising that coin as gold? 99% of collectors can tell you just by glancing that your coin is not gold. It's either a farthing or halfpenny (both of which are copper).
It was bought as a bag of metal detector finds,I didn't pay much for it so it's fine.May be wishful thinking on my part
