Just checked my coins and 1 is fake Thanks for the info
Comment from : Norma Hamilton

Great video Knew the proof coin was fake 😂 But good info I would add only buy from reputable dealers and if the price is too good to be true it probably is a fake
Comment from : Mike J

Would using acid on a real sovereign help clean it?
Comment from : Barry Stanton

1913 proof, LOL
Comment from : jack schitt

I'd drill into one side of that fake Even as a filler, they need marking to save someone down the line buying a fake
Comment from : Hold Fast

Thanks

That’s why I always buy from a reputable dealer like Atkinsons or the royal mint 🙂

The new ones like too much look like copper do you trust your government I don’t invest at your own risk
Comment from : Charles Holtsclaw

I have a 1908 that has the right size and weight, but when the obverse is lined up correctly, the reverse is off (rotated) about 10 degrees All others I have seen have been uniform on both sides Is this ok? I haven't used a machine to check it because I have found no one that has one any where near me The place I got it from is reputable, but these days, who really knows? I can only assume they check them first

you had one job of getting the camera to focus how frustrating!

Great video I’m new to sovereigns so big help Thanks
Comment from : kleinster99

Not a very good con Artist if he brought a ferrous "soverign" to a jeweler I mean it would be virtually impossibe for it not to be spotted as a fake within the 1st 10 seconds!!!
Comment from : Struan Robertson

1907 l
Comment from : Cherry ြမန်မာ

There are fakes made of 22 crt so actually it would be worth testing in with 22crt acid Or a much more expensive option would be to invest in a xrf testing machine Many dealers have one
Comment from : bling king 👑 85 blue raven

Even by looking at it you can see it's a 100 fake and a very cheap quality fake!
Comment from : wayne stokes

I found 5 in my mums piggy bank they are shinny and thin same print and I don’t want to use acid on them cause they were my mum rip brI’m thinking of going to A coins dealer to see if they’re real or are that is so cool but I’m still gonna keep them even if they’re fake because they were hers she has literally a piggybank full of UK money and she’s never been to the UK like my dad from Scotland but he doesn’t remember having anything in there because they’re hers
Comment from : Laura Rose

Thank you very much for your video sorry I can't send money,I'm not with any feasible way to do it No credit card PayPal etc Very sorry there I have two sovereigns but one is a half sovereign and I'm guessing because it's smaller by at least about 1/3 cm or so or as big as an Australian 5¢ coinbrHow much does the half sovereign weigh please?
Comment from : Petal Windsor

a full sovereign now in 2023 is around £400-420 plus depending on the monarchs need the queen victoria bun heads/young head in the video they're £450 plus if its a pre 1887 shield! in 2004 full sovereigns was about £40-50 for a full or £20-25 for a half now we add a zero to the price! plus if they're a proof graded coin 63 upwards they're £600 plus crazy prices gold nowadays! I was paying £5 a gram on new gold in 2000 from warren James or paying £2 scrap on 9ct nowadays there is very little money in gold unless you can get wearable items at scrap value at £16 a gram and sell for £20 a gram
Comment from : Justin Obrien

Great video, where I could buy acid?
Comment from : Luis Melendez

In the pic, I would say dull gold on left is real and shiny on right is fake How did I do? I personally would never ever never buy gold on eBay An investment that big should be bought from a coin shop or an online dealer like SD Bullion, Apmex or JM Bullion There are many others but those are just a few examples You want to be sure what your buying is real and with eBay your basically playing Russian roulette 50/50 chance it will be fake Always go with a reputable company or store, not eBay!
Comment from : LiveToLove

Hi, I have a 3gram miniature with no grooved edges,non dated,non-magnetic Victoria sovereign coin Is it a fake?
Comment from : kitties & birds

I thought the fake one just looked wrong, too proofy ( looked new) and mushy design unlike a (special) proof coin should
Comment from : Robin Bennett

Fake coins are like fake people?

Comment from : Moises Alcaraz

Seen a few on Fb market place, mounted in rings This of course makes things difficult as how to weigh the coin separately 🤔
Comment from : Sestrel Bethesda

Thank you!
Comment from : LeonBeenHuman

thanks for this! I just bought my first off eBay, I knew about magnets and I have scales, their photo has it on some scales and it's the correct weight, but I would check anyway, because it could have been a different coin haha They had a good chunk of good reviews and 100 positive feedback, so I'm not too worried
Comment from : Solachesis

Got a full sovereign coin ring 1903 and half a sovereign coin not exact on date and a beautiful small figure gold statue pendant of saint George

Thanks for the informative video
Comment from : Raymond John

U can get under c sovereigns 18 c I just recently tested one of my sovereigns at a jewellers and tested 18 c , 788 weighted Sovereigns should be 798 but it was dated 1909 with what looked like a lot of wear so the 1 under seemed fair for the date and condition being very worn , but it was 18 c
Comment from : Yoyo Yo

Great video man I'm from newport, where abouts is your shop mate? like to come down and see the stuff you have for sale
Comment from : IDALOW

Will the 9k acid also work on 14k jewelry?
Comment from : K Shak

If you compare the counterfeit 1911 sovereign to a genuine 1911 proof, you should be able to see how genuinely mushy the fake is The details on a real one in that condition are sharp

Comment from : Sangram Singh

I bought a 1879 half sovereign from a dealership Looks good, has the correct markings, the weight is correct The problem is, it has George V on itShouldn't it be Victoria?
Comment from : Kosakken

Comment from : eye flix

Thank you very much the information of fake gold detection with magnet I am very grateful
Comment from : Aidome Autos

A genuine sovereign should weigh 7988 grams and the diameter should be 2205 mm The thickness should be 152 mm
Comment from : Philip Fletcher

Specific Gravity test is simple and accurate if you have decent scales , also flick them with your thumb nail and they have a specific "ring", best to do over your bed just in case

Sriman Archarya Jayesh Bhagwanji Chitroda

My father Bhagwanji Mepa Chitroda and his father Bhagwan Mepa Ji Chitroda came to the UK on a ancient mission where he found and traced a Hando a Indian pot, it was full of Sovereign coins from my ancient Empire in Britain And he gave it to his fraternal English Scottish Welsh and Irish people all where contemporary working class contemporary people Many of the coins where made into sovereign rings pendants bracelets etc They should be held on to as each coin was given to a ancient family connected to an ancient Kingdom in Britain before the 9th century This was known as operation Hando and in India it was known as Wando 🤴🏽🕉🔺➕
Comment from : Sriman Archarya Jayesh Bhagwanji Chitroda

So glad I found this vid I was on the electronic Bay and someone was selling 2 sovereigns from a "house clearance"Same date as well I was watching but got busy and they sold for 26 quid I felt sick thinking I missed out on a good deal brThe coins being sold looked all shiny and thick just like the fake you display I feel happy now and thank you

Gold absolutely DOES NOT react to oxygen
Comment from : Tim Askew

Thanks, Good tip about using 9ct acid and it is none destructive on 22 ct sovereigns
Comment from : GR

do you think that buying Sovereigns from a company like Apmex, its probably a safe bet that they tested it?
Comment from : SuperJV4x

Comment from : Gunnar Gundersen

Nice to know, Walter, all tough I will not find a sovereign that easy here in Holland Maybe at any of my future holidays to England, who knows But first we have to fight Covid so we can travel save to the UK again
