5 pounds

[Theodore1977]

I have a 5 pound coin. Weight almost 40g and 3.5 cm diameter. Can someone tell more about it. How much does it worth, condition.

Check out the link below. I would have a dealer check it out though. The details seem a bit mushy to be a real one.

Thank you for your time. I will send you better pictures. Looking forward for news.

Sorry for the bad light.

It looks counterfeit to me. If gold, it would be worth melt value only. The photos are bad so I would have a dealer check it out for you to be sure.

I am sending you 2 better pictures. Thank you for your time.

Better photos help, but now I cannot speak to authenticity. If genuine, it would have a value greater than melt. Possibly as much as $2,300, in an auction, possibly higher. These sovereigns were counterfeited in large numbers. so authenticity is key. Do you have a coin dealer near you?

better yet - send the coin in to NGC for grading. If it grades high - it would be wise to watch the results of the Baldwins/St. James auction occurring in New York - Jan 2018. This auction has several up for sale.
