<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark240590, post: 1951567, member: 39953&quot;]I&#039;m looking for help as I start to look for my first golden coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Ideally I would like a guinea. Spade or other. </p><p>I wonder how to spot fakes, I&#039;ve trawled the internet and have come to the conclusion you can&#039;t particularly test it other than going by magnetic, right size, right weight and also pinging it.

I presume by the wear on his hair though that must be the reason for the ever so slight weight decrease. I don&#039;t know if maybe the mark was caused by harsh cleaning in the past or by bag marks maybe.</p><p><br /></p><p>I look forward to opinions from those in the know <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance,</p><p>Mark.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]342216[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]342217[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
