<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Herberto, post: 26645015, member: 74222&quot;]This page here claims that 1925 with a thick rim is actually a restrike?!:</p><p><br /></p><p><b>&quot;Official Restrikes</b></p><p>One of the most unusual facts about 1925 sovereigns is that in 1949, 1950 and 1951, the Royal Mint produced sovereigns, but instead of preparing new dies with George VI&#039;s head, and with the correct date, they lazily re-issued George V sovereigns dated 1925. Prior to this, 1925 London Mint sovereigns were quite scarce, especially in mint condition, suddenly they were again available. We deplore this kind of laziness from the Royal Mint, which does nothing to inspire confidence among collectors and investors that it will not repeat the same behaviour again. We can clearly recall that in the 1960&#039;s, we would often receive large quantities of gold sovereigns, all dated 1925 and all from the London Mint. We sometimes had as many as 500 pieces!</p><p><br /></p><p>However, we believe that the restrikes can be distinguished from the originals by the more pronounced rim around the edge of the coin...&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>From: <a href="https://goldsovereigns.co.uk/1925sovereign.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://goldsovereigns.co.uk/1925sovereign.html" rel="nofollow">https://goldsovereigns.co.uk/1925sovereign.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
