Replica/Fake 1914 Sovereign

8 berichten • 289 keer bekeken
Hi Folks

I'm very sure this isn't a genuine sovereign in that it weighs 5 grams and is magnetic, but was wondering if its a genuine replica or an attempt at a fake. I know similar have been listed as tokens. Diameter is consistent witha genuine sovereign at 22mm.



Many thanks
Chris
Without even looking at the page on here for the genuine coin, for comparison,
this is clearly a fake - the portrait is nothing like that on a real coin. Probably lots of
other details wrong about it also, but yes the portrait is the giveaway for me.

Thanks both for your replies. Is it worth just binning or offering to someone who collects fakes/replicas?
It is so fake its not true.

How could anyone be fooled by this - they would have to be a complete moron, like with an IQ of under 50.
I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.

​I suppose the only way someone can be fooled by this is to scam people online by stealing a photo of a genuine coin and putting that as there “listing” then anyone fooled by this such as low price, new seller etc and then send them the “coin” above.
Hi to whoever is reading this. Did you know that TYPEWRITER (on a QWERTY keyboard) is the longest word you can type using only the letters on one row of the keyboard.
Everyone clam down. no one was fooled.

OP wants to include it in his collection as a replica or token. that is what it is.

It is a prop, was made as such, and everyone acknowledges it is not made to look real.
