<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lee Gilmore, post: 25322295, member: 112082&quot;]Hello friends.</p><p>I found this coin in a bag of old pennies. It dates from 1948 and looks like a George VI half crown but struck in copper?</p><p>The weight is 13.83 grams compared to the official weight of 14.14gm and I have analyzed the metal content as best I can with a spectrometer and it comes up at 87% copper 13 % nickel. It should be 75-25.</p><p>Has anyone got any views on this because I cannot see the point of a counterfeit 1948 as it&#039;s not silver and has little value.</p><p>Thanks for your input.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
