2 Sovereigns 1915 and 1925

Hello!

My friend ask me about the following coins. I have very huge doubts about them. What do you think?

8 grams each.

I only have seen this pictures, can not see them live.

Only huge doubts?

They speak copies all day long

That was not fair to tell my opinion before ;-)

thank you, Rob.

I know you I think since 2006 or 2007. I was here under the name of Sergy.

Ah. Welcome back.

The surfaces look cast, the obverse rims are horrible, the fine detail isn't, and the colour of the first one isn't very gold.

The rim of the 1925 doesn't really match, OBV under BRITT is nearly gone and thick under the bust but compare that to the REV its all even, did you do a magnet test, they do look like junk as Rob says, check around the rim for joins, but hey, who am i telling, you're a dealer in coins

If the size and weight is roughly correct, be careful they aren't struck from depleted Uranium, followed by gilding.

  Uranium, if thats the case, don't bother with a magnet, just switch the light off and see if it glows
