<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cos Marchy, post: 2673686, member: 85932&quot;]Hi,</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a few UK £2 which are slightly eccentrically stamped. There is a dotted ring which is supposed to be on the gold area around the ring where the two parts are pressed together which is offset and protrudes into the silver area.</p><p>Also, I do have an example where the silver patterned area is slightly offset and protrudes into the gold area.</p><p><br /></p><p>How do I identify a fake from a genuine mis-stamped coin?</p><p><br /></p><p>This one is quite eccentric between the gold and silver parts.&nbsp; The dotted pattern which should just be on the gold part is eccentric too and barely visible in places which could just be wear and tear:</p><p><img src="https://tinyurl.com/jq7ygqg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is the same but slightly easier to see:</p><p><img src="https://tinyurl.com/zxk3z5f" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This one you can see the dotted ridge falls in to the gap between the gold and silver metals:</p><p><img src="https://tinyurl.com/ztxbdlj" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is the front of a coin where the silver pattern is so offset it is stamped partially on the gold part:</p><p><img src="https://tinyurl.com/hs6gzfb" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is the rear of the previous image.&nbsp; Although there is no pattern offset, you can see the dotted ring is out of place:</p><p><img src="https://tinyurl.com/zf6wljw" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
