Either the snack van lady that visits my workplace is very unlucky and is getting fleeced by fellow lunchers or she is a master forger but today in my change from her was a 2004 Forth Bridge fake...........and a very poor copy at that.
On the bridge side the 'railway tracks' are merged in places, detailing isn't good. On the portrait side, it looks a cast copy as it has 'copy cracks' transfered from the master mould onto the coin itself. And the dot is missing on the edge where its meant to be between each end of the 'wavy line' inscription.
All in all, a sh*t copy...........but its mine now!!!
