Hi steve
I collect the odd fake. It looks fairly well struck for a fake maybe cause all of mine a crap. Have you popped it on some scales for the weight? Looks very scrubbed and the last 3 in the date looks wonky in the pic. I'd be interested in a fake as i really like 'em. At least we know going by the year that it's not a twible and manders!

I didn't think of checking the weight which would be a good indicator.It weighs 4.8 grams so is definately fake and now is definately sold to humpybong,thanks everyone

same time as the 1933 shilling

Received coin today, many thanks.

Have not had a good look yet but it is thinner than originals.

Definitely not the real thing.

It's also 20% underweight and doesn't look like silver
