<p>[QUOTE="juanita77, post: 686501, member: 20484"]Thank you very much for your replies! I´m not a coin collecter and I really appreciate your help. I was reading about this coin and it seems that the coins minted in London in 1917 are very rare and quite valuable. The one I have has no mint mark so it would indicate that was minted in London (the ones minted in Australia, Canada, etc, have a mintmark above the date). But like GDJMSP said here <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t68335/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t68335/">http://www.cointalk.com/t68335/</a> it could be fake because it´s a very counterfeited coin. </p><p>That´s why, Fullmoonkid, I was asking that if the coin is made of gold is enough to determinate its authenticity. Or maybe the forgeries were also made of gold. For GDJMSP´s reply I assume it´s a possibility. In which case its only value is the gold value...I don´t know if I´m making myself clear I don´t speak english very well!!</p><p>Thanks fretboard for your advise, I´ll try to weight it, I don´t know if it´s a half or full sovereign, in fact I don´t know anything about coins! I tried to post pictures but I couldn´t do it, I´ll try again later.</p><p>Thank you all very much!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
