2008 Pound Coin Mystery...Part 2

Having consulted with a few persons and also thanks to the comments made by 'The Dark Numismatist', it does certainly appear that the 2008 Ornamental Arms 3rd Portrait Decus coin is indeed genuine, but due to its low mintage numbers, is extremely rare.

The 1988 Crown Over Shield coin is stated as being rare with a circulation number of around 7.1 million, but the 2008 OA3D has only 3.9m made making it effectively twice as rare.

Others agree that its a coin to keep hold of.

Does anyone think we will see this coin 'faked' yet?
