<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collector1966, post: 1079127, member: 17919&quot;]Oh, my gosh-- This is almost surreal. I took another look at the pound coins I had set aside, and found at least 3 more that might qualify as fakes-- so far. Sometimes the edge lettering contains squiggly lines, or is uneven or otherwise less than perfect. On a couple of coins, there appears to be either corrosion, or the coating is wearing off. I wonder how many more fakes I&#039;ll find? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>A note about these pound coins: They have been accumulated by me over the years from foreign coin grab bags that I have bought at coin shows here in Japan. The bags are assembled by a local charity from coins that they have collected from donation boxes strategically placed in various international hotels and airports in Japan. Japanese travelers returning from overseas who have a pocketful of foreign coins will often drop their foreign coins into one of these boxes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
