<p>[QUOTE=&quot;snaz, post: 466954, member: 11315&quot;]In defense. I made it perfectly clear to the &quot;client&quot; that this was my first appraisal, and that this was an opinion only. I was doing it free of charge, just to gain knowledge myself. Most of what he had was common date dollars and halfs, and tins full of silver Canadian junk. This Half sovereign was in a little 6 pocket binder with 3 other counterfeits. which included counterfeit Gold Maple Leafs. which all came from the same seller. Now, in addition to that. I had never seen a half sovereign before in my life. Ever.</p><p>all I know was sovereigns were not minted anywhere else other than Ottawa representing a &quot;C&quot; for Canada. </p><p>as soon as I saw the 1915 I was baffled. I weighed it. And searched the fields up and down.</p><p>After that I made him aware I had never seen a 1915 dated coin like this, and took pictures and perused the internet trying to learn about what this coin might be. Then I found a website telling me 1915 Sovereigns were commonly counterfeit.</p><p>When one has never seen or heard of a half sovereign, and it is in a folder where half of the coins in it are counterfeit, I feel completley comfortable admitting I goofed up. The client has been notified, and the situation rectified.</p><p>-Shawn[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
