Over weight,

Wrong design for year,

tapered planchet?

Die flaws and the edge inscriptions and un clear

This looks to be fake yes?

Surely theres no way its a genuine error from the mint.

Many thanks

in advance

I know that standards are slipping at the Royal Mint, but I don't think they would produce one quite so shoddy. Given that somewhere up to 5% of all one pound coins are fake, it's fair to assume that you have yourself a fake.

5 percent wow!!

thanks

The fact the planchet has different thickness or is tapered could that change the weight or explain it being over weight?

Also the planchet if it wasnt rolled out correctly surely the result would be something like this?

For example the extra weight comes from the thickness,

The lack of detail and weak strike on the reverse could be becuase the round didnt sit square when it was struck etc etc

Or its part of that 5 %

So its effectively illegal to spend counterfeit money??

Planchets are normally stamped out from a sheet of rolled alloy, which is wide enough for several blanks across that width. Given the variation of planchet thickness you have within a single blank, the rolled sheet would have to be mm thin at one side and a few cm thick at the other. I'm pretty sure that the Royal Mint machinery is not even capable of producing such a sheet.

It is illegal to spend counterfeit money, as it is fraud, although proving intent in the case of a single £1 coin would be difficult.

Yes! It's the property of Customs and Excise I believe - and if known to be fake, should be handed in to a bank or police station. On the other hand, if you sold a non-counterfeit currency coin as a counterfeit, you could be done under Trades Description.. (Heads they win, tails you lose )
