I have two 1921 shillings the star on the left is smaller than the star on the right, they are not far off being the same grade.
I can't find any information regarding the sizes of the stars.
Any ideas or thoughts?

Coin on the right is fake.
I agree. In addition to the star the date is also different.

Have a look at this thread:-

Looks like the same fake
Seems to be the the same pattern for many of these 1921 shillings - must
have came from the same shed
once being a draftsman of yore using nibs on linen its easy to pick the diff in the digits and i agree.. its a fke fake
A little off topic but it would be easier if our contemporary counterfeits were as easy to pick as the fake Holey Dollar and Dumps in 1821

Very nice coin steve
Yes I can see it's a fake.
The dangerous thing is I inherited these coins from an uncle not knowing there was a fake, how many sets are out there like this with 1930 pennies 1923 half pennies etc, & the person owning not knowing.
This coin is now in a 2X2 with a big red FAKE written on it.
I've also done the drop test on marble, one goes clink the other goes
clonk

Yeah Goldie all the time, I would like to put them into a supreme album.
But because of the sentiment attached to them I sort of don't want to because of the memories.
Like I still have these intact, I know I shouldn't keep them like that but I don't need them & I think the memory is worth more then the coins, if you know what I mean
