Hi! I have to choose a few days ago between to buy sovereigns or 1/4 krugerrands and I have chosen 1/4 krugerrands. Now I have thinking that maybe the coins are fake because I am thinking that maybe the 1/4 is too much thin. Please Could someone put a photo of the edge of a sovereing and a 1/4 Krugerrand together? Please, help
No, no they look good and when I hit the money its sound with the characteristic "ping" of the gold, is only that I buy by internet and I ve never had a 1/4 krugerrand, I was specting bigger edge. I have sovereings to the the versus, but I would like a picture make for another man (or woman) of a 1/4 vs sovereing.

I did this pictures (even I open a specif thread) Comparison betwen this famous gold coins, Sobereings, Alfonsinas and 1/4 Krugerrands 25 pesetas of Alfonso XII of Spain (Alfonsinas) We can see that the 1/4 krugerrands looks thinner than the sobereings. The other coins is a Alfonsina, a 25 pesetas of Alfonso XII of Spain.
Well I guess, Does the thin 1/4 Kruger measure up like this? Value 1/4 Krugerrand (1/4) Metal Gold (.917) Weight 8.48 g Diameter 22 mm Thickness 1.83 mm Source: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces29507.html
