Heres wut i have so far

I really luv the small coins so i ordered a whole tube of them.  I just got the 1oz coin today and i like it alot however im always considered if ita a fake or not.  I weighed it and it it says 1 1/8th oz so not sure how much room for error there may be before a weight difference is a tell that its fake but my smaller 1/4 oz coins are  exactly 1/4 oz. I ordered everything from eBay but only buy from sellers whos been selling coins and silver with perfect reviews.  So far none of me silver attracts a magnet very well but i think the magnet test id just hogwash case it could juat be copper and silver plated and still pass the magnet test right?   Does anyone have that 1oz britannia horse pivy coin?  I dont think any of these are really coins right?  I emailed royalmint my concerns about a possible fake 1/4oz coin cause i ordered two from two different ebay sellers ans the side lettering on one is slightly thinner and not as deep and im wondering if thats just a variance in the manufacturing or just a fake and they just replied back with a link to their authentication service.

Welcome aboard The Silver Forum!

Those are 1/4 oz Gairsoppa Silver Britannias, minted in 2013 and 2014. They are a nice add to a collection. If the weight and coin dimensions are in family, I wouldn’t be overly concerned about the edge lettering variability and cause for concern of authenticity. Also, if The Royal Mint asks for payment of authenticity, I personally wouldn’t for a 2013 or 2014 1/4 oz silver coin.
