    Fake / Counterfeit Half Crown 1942

    newcoincollector replied to newcoincollector's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    I've done the 'ping' test on the tip of my finger against a .925 and a real .500 and it doesn't have the same tone as the other two. It is not magnetic

    It has a higher pitched ting to it. I can hear and feel the difference when i flip it . I will try the ping test with a pre 1920. Thanks for the replies

    thanks for the replies. it is slightly fatter than a real one but the width is good. interesting to hear that it may have leached some copper but doesn't seem too worn. i have worn ones but they all weigh 13.7 and up. has anyone else 1920-1946 fake half crowns?
