Possible Fakes

Coins that pass the tests, but don't feel right.
Most are probably just damaged coins but interesting nonetheless.

Fake Fakes

These are genuine coins that most people might think are fakes.
Generally PMD (Post Mint Damage) from things like weather, chemicals, roads etc.

Foreign coins that have been accepted as english coins over the years.

And a large selection of smaller denominations.


Intruder Coins

There are MANY MANY more coins that could be added to this section, Least of all the "Territory" coins such as those from Isle Of Man, Gibraltar etc which are technically NOT legal tender on the UK Mainland and yet are readily accepted as such. There are even a few new £1 imposters showing their face already, I just need to find the posts and track down the coins!


Olympics

POTENTIALLY FAKE CARDED OLYMPIC 'BUNC' COINS
Originally sold as a real bunc set (Complete with folder) by an eBay user in China. The quality of these coins is terrible : Underweight by about 20%, lacking detail and can be compared to chromed plastic toy money !!
There were some original bunc sets sold by the Royal Mint that were recalled due to quality issues with the coins. The hologram serial numbers (Located on the back of the packaging) seem to tally with these earlier coins. Apparently the folder doesn't contain any text for the completer medallion, because it was undecided as to whether there would be one, before the sets were shipped to the Asian market.
It's looking more like these are NOT FAKE, but I'm still a little sceptical.

Please Note : There are "Copy" Football 50p coins, as seen HERE.
