Gday,
I did end up getting my money back on the fake 21 shilling and am looking around for a good coin. This one seems to have the same traits as the fake I purchased.
What do you reckon ??
cheers:winkextra:

All 3 of his coins I saw last night are fakes.
the roo looks too 'excited' and definitely 'scrubbed'. imo.

Not sure about the the 38 Crown,it doesn't seem right but i can't put my finger on it besides Patina & wonky HP.

gee
you'd really have to know what you're looking at to spot that '38 as a fake
the rim edge failure is inconsistent with these crowns and the somewhat larger king's nose is the only indicator to me & I have over time owned a quite few of these coins
I do have a fake one here but it's pretty obvious - which is fun for a fake
but genuine counterfeits being flogged off as the real deal - well that is a different criminal offence story
might take a pic of my daggy fake if I can find it
To be honest, with the other 2 coins being fake, I just assumed this one was too.
I know you shouldn't assume.
Looking at the obverse, it looks almost like a cast coin ?
Thanks guys

Done. The Crown too, after comparing it to the PCGS graded one. That nose is a dead giveaway.

If you don't have a Crown Fulvio then PM me and I will send you one Mate.

Thanks mate, but I do have a couple, of both years, which I got from my uncle years ago. They're stashed with my NCLT and kinda hard to get to.

Like I said , get a BIGGER desk :yahoo:
Or get a better storage system. I have a large percentage of my coins in 2x2's in PPH albums ( all appropriately labelled ) and if I want to access a particular coin it only takes me seconds to do so :yahoo:
THATS why I debag,deslab and take EVERYTHING out of the bloody mint packaging , ease of access :dance2: :yahoo:

Working on it, mate. The rolls for bulk storage, and the LDPE 2x2 system is slowly coming along. The major fly in that ointment is holding the mounts or bags. Pages and albums are inefficient. Slide trays work, but aren't easy to flip through. There must be a better way... I just haven't found it yet. :)
I may be going paranoid with these fakes but i had another look at the Crown last nite,the gape(?) on the Kings Mouth also seems wrong,but only slightly.The HP missing is the easy ID.
