<p>[QUOTE=&quot;andyscouse, post: 1076071, member: 27100&quot;]One easy way to spot the &#039;better made&#039; ones is to look for mismatched obverses and reverses. The clowns that forge them are often so stupid to put a reverse for one year paired with an obverse for another! For example, an oak tree (1987/92) with an obverse for a year other than 1987/92.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The poorly made ones do indeed stand out.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As another poster said, the ratio is about 1 in every 36 £1 coins circulating are fake. According to a report I read, if it gets a lot worse, the whole denomination may need to be re-issued.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
