<p>[QUOTE="PaddyB, post: 2915054, member: 40017"]I was just going to put in a similar amendment! I have been corrected in another thread to the effect that "Evasions" have a noticeably different design to the original whereas Counterfeits are as close as the maker could afford to the original -usually lighter in weight to save copper. Evasions are heavily collected, counterfeits less so. I still believe the OP coin is a genuine Regal issue, just well used.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
