<p>[QUOTE="sylvester, post: 115265, member: 708"]Talking of fake sovereigns i have a first hand (or i believe a first hand experience of this). I was in a jewelry shop looking through their half sovereigns (i don't generally make a habit of this due to the fact that the coins are often overprices, cleaned and junk but hey i was killing time). Anyhow they had about 6 or 7 1911 half sovereigns sat there. So i looked at the first one and i saw a black circular mark running adjacent to the head of Geo V on the obverse, i though nothing of it thinking it was just grime buildup perhaps in a scratch of something, i didn't really take much notice. Then i picked up the next one and it had the same kind of circular mark in exactly the same place, and the next, and the next... heck they were all identical, alarm bells ringing away to me, all duds no doubt?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
