echidna Pillar of the Community Australia 599 Posts	Posted 03/30/2018 05:11 am This coin appears to be damaged. Bit hard to tell if its genuine or not due to poor image quality. Also re JPG format - its should be easy to convert BMP to JPG. Watch your top knot Report this Post to the Staff

Actually at 75% compression, which is perfectly good on the internet, you can go much larger than that. NOTE: My eyes absolutely cannot see any difference between 95% and 75%, none at all.

Google or Bing etc will teach you in 5 minutes. A good guess needs a good photo. No angle - straight down at the coin, with plenty of room light. Camera flash off. The coin has none of the characteristics of the current wave of Chinese fakes, but that doesn't mean much. There are thousands of fake 1923 halfpennies. The numerals look okay, and the date position and alignment is correct, the coin might be genuine. Report this Post to the Staff

echidna Pillar of the Community Australia 599 Posts	Posted 04/01/2018 04:48 am The pic is a bit small and we need the obverse as well. However my guess is that its genuine and damaged. Its had a big hit on the obverse which appears to the left of PENNY. Its had some sort of clean as well. Basically its awful but genuine.
