Update
Thought I would share a quick update. I had a reply from Atkinsons bullion first thing Monday morning (they actually replied via Instagram messaging over the weekend but could not sort it until the office was open). 
They have offered a full and complete return and refund including return postage. 
Very well handled by them and I am not going to hold a grudge that it happened at all. 
Lots of lessons learned I am sure from both sides of this situation and I want to say a big thanks to everyone here on the forum and on YouTube for helping!
I am still on the lookout for one of these beautiful coins though, but maybe have to wait as gold has gone up quite a bit this week!

I agree with you, which is kind of why this is only just now coming to the forefront of my mind!
I remember getting the coin, thinking it was very pretty and looked good. I popped it on the scales, weight was right and thought no more of it.
It's a good luck thing I popped it on YouTube!
But, as you say you just expect everything to be all OK.
I will keep everyone updated over the next week with how it goes with Atkinson's

Howdy all, I did a video today on my Saudi Arabia Gold Guinea bought from Atkinson's Bullion a few weeks ago.
A few people commented that it might be a fake coin as it is quite worn and that it has "22" on it.
Now, I have done a specific gravity test as well as dimensions and weights which are all bang on correct for weight, dimension and 22ct Gold.
So, I am confident that I have real gold, but do I have a real Saudi Gold Guinea or is it a counterfeit coin?
I have not been able to find much info on the "22" part, a few photos from Google image searchs show "MOM 22" but not just "22" on its own.
Any thoughts/comments would be very helpful from anyone that knows more than I do!

Thanks buddy, I think we can say with 100% confidence this is a re-strike
The good news is that it is gold - I have no doubt of that.
What remains to be seen is how Atkinson's will handle the situation come Monday 😉

Thanks buddy, very interesting. Did the jeweller say the MOM 22 was an indication of it being a fake coin?

Ah, OK I see.

Sorry, i meant the sovs being fake. From what i believe the Saudi guinea is real!

Here's an example of one i received when i got married, as well as some fake (real gold) sovs!

I'm no expert by any means but that was my first thought - gold or not, it didn't look struck properly.

This is really bad for atkinsons, as a trusted dealer I have always relied on them not providing fake/restrike coins.  I will certainly be checking everything in more details from now on!

The Saudi Arabia Gold One Guinea Coins were only minted in 1950 and 1957, I think your coin is a modern reproduction of the coin and could still be 22-carat gold a bit like the jeweler's copies of sovereigns from the middle east some times with 22 stamped on them. The reason I think this is your coin looks to weakly struck and very soft detail with no obvious signs of wear. I hope you get to the bottom of the mystery and look forward to what you find out 

Can stack diversification get any more beautiful?

This is a belated "today I received", because after a very public hallmarking failure at the Edinburgh Assay Office due to silver contamination, this BYB gold bar was hesitant to leave the pouch 

However, it eventually mustered the courage to emerge, with the help of these gold eagles which it turns out are 3% silver.  The bar began to realize there is other gold bullion in the world that contains even more silver, but is still widely accepted.

Now well adjusted, and comfortable with its silver content, the bar has joined the stack and exists in harmony with bullion of all shapes, sizes, and metal content.  

A huge thank you to @BackyardBullion for doing on awesome job with this bar, as usual!!

The postman delivered these beauties to me this morning courtesy of Mr & Mrs @BackyardBullion.
