Help identifying coin please?

[VintageGold]

Hello, 

I found this coin for sale:

The owner says the coin is not magnetic, he does now if it's a real coin, fake or replica.

Can anyone help me with determining the coins value? And what the coin is IE a name?

Thanks in advance

It looks like an Elizabethan gold Angel 1561-1582. I have no idea if it's genuine or its value.

Welcome VintageGold

Would need better pics and to have the coin in hand to make a definate decision, you need to know weight and  size and a picture of the rim of the coin, Also what  provenance is there is with the coin  . but going buy the pics provided i would say 99% sure its a  fake. and at the end of the day if there is any doubt dont buy, gold is to exspensive to take punts

Hi why would you say it's a fake?

Thanks in advance

I agree, with gold if you dont know exactly what you are buying then dont buy it.

Fakes of everything are everywhere.

As a newbie I would stick to well known bullion dealers and trusted sellers here.

I agree. If you have to ask what it is you shouldn't be buying it, in my opinion.

It looks all wrong, sure to be a fake. Doubt it's gold.

If I'm I reading your post correctly, the owner of the coin doesn't know if the coin he's selling is real, fake or a replica?

If so, surely it doesn't matter how much a real example should be priced at, you have to assume it's a fake, so offer him a fiver.

Thank you to everyone who commented, with the collective advice I'm not buying it. He also said when he rubs it a faints his fingers it smells like brass.....

Brasso would probably clean gold up OK.

Now that he's convinced it's brass, I'd offer him a fiver to take it off his hands. you never know....................

Yes, if you don't know the seller well and it's an online sale I'd be very wary. 

Often when someone says they don't know if it's real they have a damn good idea, at the very least, that it's fake.

Has anyone noticed that the lions and fleur-de-lis are at the wrong side of the coat of arms? the lions are on the top left instead of top right.

-Update-

Hi I saw on the forum that somone has purchased this coin. I can say that I had no involvement with the sale/purchase of the coin. As I stated here I asked the seller and he said it that it smelt of brass, also pepole advised me that it was probably a fake.

The photo was cropped so there were no white sidebars.

Hope this clears this case up.

That is what I assumed.  Somebody else has possibly bought the same coin that you were looking at and is showing the same ebay photo.

Thanks, feel sorry for that person. 100% sure it's a fake.
