LostDutchman Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 hey gang I bought this today... neat gold error... if you look at the staples in the 2x2 you will see what i am talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belg_jos Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Very nice. First die rotation I've seen on a golden coin, but I'm not a goldfreak. The brockage goldcoins are regularly reported. So die rotations are unwanted or unfindable? Regards, Jos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccg Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 It might be the light reflecting off the 2x2, but the obverse looks a bit funny - have you checked to see if it might be a copy made in gold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 You might want to weight it Matt. There was a huge bunch of counterfeits made in Australia from damaged dies (that's another shock isn't it) so it's worth seeing if it has real gold bullion content.

Hussulo Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Hi Matt, Don't know if you have noticed, but this Sovereign has the mintmark of SA. So it was minted in South Africa (Pretoria). Regards, Hus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
