<p>[QUOTE="sylvester, post: 115361, member: 708"]I wouldn't have bought them anyhow they were only VF grade (and charging £50. EF perhaps at a push but £50 at VF, forget it!) . Although it was tough to tell if it was all wear or some weak strike issues (another potential sign of a dud). Good experience from my point of view though.</p><p><br /></p><p>In response to GX i have to say whilst i cringe at the thought of all those rare or collectible gold coins (and silver etc.) being forged, i have to say i'm very thankful that alot of the circulating currency is being counterfeited. It's a cheap way to familiarise yourself with fakes and how to spot them. Since the plethora of fake £1 coins have been doing the rounds i've learned how to pick out what features characterises a low quality to average fake, these days they just scream fake, even though i can't always explain why!</p><p><br /></p><p>Although i have to say top quality fakes though would still totally fool me, me and quite a few dealers i should think.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
