manofstone got a reaction from stefffana in Auctions Including Fake or Highly Suspect Gold Sovereigns
OUCH ! KICK ME, .... but many thanks to Petra and Booky....... feel the typo comparison might be correct.
In a past life had a graphic design company so know my serifs from my sans, but clearly not on coins.
Others out here please kick me some more1

I have couple of concerns.
1. Put a commission bid on, then went to view. It seemed rather shiny for its age, thought it just may have been polished. But reduced the commission bid but couldn't remove it completely.
2. This left the bid at the opening price of £750 below the estimate of £800-£1200 , so wasn't worried as expected some one to bid in the estimate range. On the day of the sale mine was the only bid! yet there was a proper dealer in the room snapping all the other sovereigns.
So 1. too shiny 2. no body else wanted it!
