  1. do update us on what happens to the coin
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. Verdi care arived today , so have been trying it out on the coin - maybe I should have tried a lower value coin first , but was itching to try the stuff out As you can see from above picture coin is looking better all the time
  6. 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

  13. They were released in late 201o the dailly mail at the time ran a artical on them speculateing they were worth ££££ , what a surprise , they even seemed to have dificulty working out that time only runs in one direction forward ,something I worked out years ago
