    To be fair I have seem many many George IV crowns much much worse than this - yours is lucky in that everything is clear on it at least - it also been polished which means it has little numismatic value , keep it as as you clearly like it - it was probably a "pocket piece" for many years.

    At a quick glance i would say its genuine 1 .3 g is not a lot , its worn and wear can account for that and you bought it cheap if you paid a lot it might be worth forging it , but not in this grade . you could always get it tested for silver if its not its a forgery

    yes peter - the obverse is far better than i realised at first , it even looks to be aproaching nvf grade , with less gunk on it every time it worked on The reverse is what lets it down , there again the g's over are on the obverse aint they

    I find it strange you never remembered the coin in all these years even back in the sixties-seventies it was considered quite rare and was hardly a schoolboy collectors coin . Anyway congrats on the coin and I am sure if you sell it will pay for a nice holiday at least

    coin number three looks like a george 11 or 111 farthing , the other two are what i would call buttons and even scott would turn his nose up at them.

    I strongly suspect that the gunk on the coin has ment it's gone undetected over all these years , even the dealer missed it . It is in fact probably one of the great rarities of the bronze farthing series - its much rarer than the 1860 mule , and on a par with peck 530 - thats why it goes for silly money in any grade , I am sure only 50-100 exist and most are in well established collections .
