Hey there,

Its been a long time since I have been on here. I had taken a break from coin collecting due to studying and finances, and have been getting back into it.

Anyway, I have a query about this ebay selling....

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/metal-detector-finds-/170489441161?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item27b1f66b89&autorefresh=true

I cannot decide on the george the IIII coin....it kind of looks like a 'two pounds' gold coin which is quite valuble. However, the nose looks abit big (maybe a knock or fake??)...

What do you think? What coin is it?

Thanks for the input

Ash

    I'd stay away from this one.

    The "1 charles the farthing" looks legit but the other two "gold" coins are not. The detail although similar isn't correct if you compare it with a genuine one.

    They may have been made using a lower carat of gold but are most likely copper gilded.

    Here's a genuine 1823 £2 I used to own:
