Fake or Not Half Sovereign


Spyder

Recommended Posts

Today was sent a photo asking if I wanted to buy these two Half sovereigns.  

Will not be able to get better photos until Tuesday. 

Will list one side 1st and the other in about an hour. 

What do members think? Give reasons for yes or no.

If someone can crop the photo, go ahead and I will delete this

I'm a clueless idiot but the one on the left looks like a slightly melted version of the one on the right. If I knew that one was fake and one was real, I'd guess the left is fake

I would get caught out by so many fakes. I don't trust myself to buy gold from anyone except trusted members and major dealers

I couldn't guess true or false based on the current photos, your need clearer detailed ones to judge. I can see some possible damage to the rim in the right one, on its edge adjacent too REX F D. Thought it might be the remains of a jewellers mount but who'd moun"t a coin sideways on?

Could it have been mounted in a brooch?

Has no one noticed that the London mint did not issue half sovereign with these dates

In fact no one issued 1917 and only Perth mint issued 1919
