@LawrenceChard Chards is the best! 😄I promised to Ian at last London Coins Fair to say it when I get a chance. 😆

Brilliant, thanks.

He should be there on London Coin Fair - Saturday 4th September

Well @GreatCoins4U I don't see how anyone could flick or do a ping test for you and convey to you the sound..the only way that could be achieved to your satisfaction is for you and someone with the same coin would be  via a phone call and listening to each others tests, maybe you could do that? If anyone is willing to take your call that is? 

If you are that uncertain about this coin as you appear to be,send it back,get a refund,and purchase another from a bullion dealer.

Regards and best of luck.

Well my coin makes no sound at all, my sovereigns make a nice crisp clean sound when I flick or ping them.

I was not asking anyone to convey the sound to me, just that if they had 1 of these coins themselves, could they please flick or ping it and then message me to let me know if there is any sound at all on one of these 1/4 oz queens beasts gold coins, I thought it would be a relatively easy thing for someone with one of these coins to do.....? I am not asking anyone to prove the noise to me, just to let me know in a message if there is any noise at all? You don't have to, I don't want to put anyone out, it would just have been helpful for me to determine if it is a real gold coin or not.

Thankyou though for getting back to me anyway

A sovreign weighs 7.98 g's with a fine gold content of 7.3240 g's.

 

A 1/4 oz gold coin weighs roughly 7.78 g's with a pure  gold content of 7.776 based on 999.9.

 

Obviously the sound is going to sound different on the ping and flick test.

Well I either need to get another of these coins, or for someone with one to flick or ping theres for me to see if there is any sound at all, as on my one, there is none, thankyou anyway though for all of your very helpful advice.

Never mind the sound. Just consider the probabilities: why would anyone go to the trouble and expense of faking this particular coin? It does not show the Lion, the Griffin, or the Dragon, which are, I would think, the most sought-after beasts? And if you were a forger, why not go for broke and forge a 1oz coin with a larger profit margin?  If it is a forgery, why are there not more on the market, which there don't appear to be. If the weight and dimensions are correct, it is most unlikely that you have a forgery on your hands, I submit. I would sleep easy over it.

I am fairly sure that you are right, thankyou for getting back to me. I just wanted to ask peoples opinion, they have been very helpful and it is good for me to ask people who work in this industry and who have alot of knowledge + experience about coins and gold and the like. I was just in the mind that because a sovereign makes a noise, I thought that all gold coins were supposed to make a noise, I thought that was the general rule for gold coins. However I messaged afew people on Ebay and someone got back to me and said that there one of these coins makes no noise when they flick or ping it either, so I am fairly sure that it is a genuine, proper authentic coin. It weighs the right amount and is the same size (more or less ) as my other sovereigns and makes a nice noise sound and spins correctly, if you have seen someone spin a gold sovereign coin to see if it is real or not. I really do appreciate all of your help, and I realise that I am a new member so I appreciate you all taking the time and offering me advice and help + everything.

Very many thanks..
