Gold Sovereign question??
I don't deal a lot with these, so this may be a dumb question...
I've got 2 half sov's dated 1918 and 1887. Under the tail of the horse is "22C" Are these copies or what? Thanks, Wes

I do collect full sovereigns and what I can say is that they never carry a carat number on them! Let alone that if that would happen the number would be expressed with a 3 digit number and not with the commercial equivalent, that is "18K", "22K" and so on... I am sure that the same is happening with half sov's, so they are most probably copies (I wouldn't trust though the stated gold content...). rgrds -- E' mai possibile, oh porco di un cane, che le avventure in codesto reame debban risolversi tutte con grandi puttane!
