Your Own 'Fakes'

What does your own fake collection consist of? What dates and design combinations do you have?

Have you noticed any particular designs or year dates more typical in your area or noticed any particular spates of a certain coin cropping up time after time over a short space of time?

Post your comments accordingly.

Recommended Read - Blogsite Special Offer

Like many of you, I've read up as much as possible on fake pound coins and scoured the internet for information. So far to date, the best reference I've come across is the following, which has been offered to any of you readers out there at a special price.

'The Cheat In Your Change', by Ken Peters, is an info-packed 24 page A5 booklet and (other than the Royal Mints own downloadable info) is, in my opinion, the best reference guide you can lay your hands on.

Normally priced at £3.80, this booklet is available for just £2.50 (including postage) and is available from Ken @ Envoy Publicity, 8 Kings Road, Biggin Hill, Kent, TN16 3XU.

If you decide to get a copy, please let Ken know its because you read about the offer on this website.

Warm Welcome

I'd like to extend a warm welcome to members of the UK Counterfeit Coin Club, who through their President, Mr Ken Peters, have been made aware of this website recently.

In response to Mr Peters, his members cannot post actual blogs on this site but are freely welcome to comment to any actual item, or alternatively contribute an item, which I can then post on this blog site accordingly.

Hope my style of information is to your liking.

October 'Fake'Watch

Another month past and relatively quiet on the 'fake' front.

Got 3 during the month, these being a 3 Lions 2002, Dragon 2000 and an Ornamental Arms 2003, all of which I'd all seen before. On each on them, the detail on the coin itself is pretty good its just the edge lettering that lets it down.

Onwards for Novembers 'search'.
