otto Pillar of the Community United States 1283 Posts	Posted 10/26/2024 6:10 pm I thought I would post this new acquisition. I already own a very nice example, which is in a safe box. This one was too cheap to resist. Report this Post to the Staff

Basil Pillar of the Community Australia 998 Posts	Posted 10/26/2024 6:20 pm Scarce year,hard to tell from Pics. but the gap in the Emu's leg(to the shield) is a major marker for a Chinese fake. Hope yours is ok but the coin needs further investigation. http://goccf.com/t/314068 Edited by Basil 10/26/2024 6:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff
otto Pillar of the Community United States 1283 Posts	Posted 10/26/2024 6:32 pm Thank you, Basil. I'll try a specific gravity test when I get. To me it looks like silver, though. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21593 Posts	Posted 10/26/2024 9:52 pm Genuine should be 5.65 grams, .925 fine sterling silver. Check for weight and ping tone against known genuine British or Australian shilling of same alloy. Most fakes ping at a higher pitch. Report this Post to the Staff
