whats the chances of these 2 coins being genuine,in the obverse pic the 2 coins look completely different to me.
Bigger photo with more coins and less background would help.
They are probably genuine but how would you be able to tell from those photos.That is their
standard photo effort taken from the other side of the room but the first time they have tried to
sell coins from what I can see.Looks like 6 bidders think they are genuine and VF or better at a
guess,could be a bargain as they wont get top dollar
Ahh, struck by the curse of the rare coin, and its inability to be photographed in focus.
The reverse of the 2 coins is the same, I overlayed them in an imaging tool and whilst the lighting is different they are identical.
Very hard to tell on the obverse, the thickness of the rim on the bottom left of the right coin may indicate the coin is on an angle which also makes KGV look fatter. The top right legends however on the reverse are the same size when overlayed, so I think you're right, something is fishy with one (or both) of them.

If a seller can't post a decent image they won't get any of my dough. :whistle2:
How on earth could anyone tell if these are genuine or duds? I'd be inclined to say they're fake and the seller probably knows it. :dodgy:
Yeah, photo's taken from 10 feet away & out of focus don't give much confidence in the listing at all,seems there are a few that are willing to plunge in.
Can't see them. Can't tell. Don't care :yahoo:
But then again I just bought 5 Canberra florins that all had the same pic :dash1: I only paid a bit over spot for them so no real worries :good:
