Hello,

I just got one of these 1 Pound coins ( https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces1392.html ). The lettering on the edge is a bit off. The entire edge has uniform wear, but some of the lettering is deeper than others. Is this a counterfeit coin? Any help is appreciated.

Regards

I am actually have a difficult time taking a picture of the edge. My camera doesn't seem to want to focus on the coin edge. Any advice.

The depth of the lettering is similar to the pics in the first topic. But the letters in mine are better done than that.
