Fake Or Genuine

[robbiegal]

personally i think that if this coin is genuine it has to be well around AU58 or higher
pcgs grade coins with spots & they are not 'detailed' - I have seen plenty for sale
I think there is something not quite right about this one
anyways I bought it because the coin looked good in the sellers photos
but it does remind me a lot of my chinese copy 1930 penny  - the colour etc

[echidna]

I dont see any problem with this coin.
The grade looks ridiculous however.
Looks MS 63 or 64 to me.

It looks OK to me RG.
I can't see any reason to fake a 1933 penny.

ta
that was the sort of opinion that I was looking for  

might have to post it over to mr trout as he knows how to saw the things out of slabs

I used to think that until a few years ago,since the Chinese became involved they're are getting more sophisticated with their copies every year.
Why would anyone bother with 1933 Penny has got be stumped unless its some sort of trial runs before they hit the key dates.
Walter said the following Coin is a modern day replica...sigh.

A well placed smack with a hammer will free that coin without damaging it in a heartbeat

I think both of these are fakes,IIRC there was a batch of 1925's a few years back where the Kings mo was misformed,this may be one.

I think this is the 1932 Fake with the rabbit ears on the Roo.

There is Nothing wrong with a bit of healthy Paranoia with all the fakes on the market increasing lately :ok:

[gnome]

Wouldn't touch either

[Goldseeker]

Further, I had a 1937 Penny in my hands as well but he wouldn't sell it to me.

Geez Goldie, it looks amazing (8 beads!!!!), I'm not sure. I'll leave it to the experts but the figures of the date don't seem to be right to me, but that could be just the flattening of the legend. (I'm no expert by any sense of the word so I'd rather you get the thoughts of Walter, Mark, Eric, FP, Fr45h3R and some others before anything else).
EDIT: (8 beads, looking again perhaps not ..... after looking at the front ones. I would have thought the ones on the left of the diamond would have worn first). But don't listen to me, I'm no pro on 1930 pennies.
EDIT:EDIT ..... I sincerely hope I'm wrong and that it is genuine.

[nealeffendi]

That is a beautiful 1930 penny there. Will you be getting it slabbed?:winkextra:
Shanghai mint?

[ausproofs]

If you ask me, it is not a genuine 1930. Hope you knew what you were buying GS.

[trout]

They don't get much more fake than that one Goldie :angel:
