Tanyatanya New Member Singapore 7 Posts	Posted 06/15/2020 03:50 am I found a container of old East Africa 5 and 10 cents coins. I'm probably going to sell them away, but I want to make sure they are authentic (found way too many fake coins in my late father collection). They seem fine to be so far, but I want some second opinions. I picked out a couple from what seemed to be the 'rarer' years and took some close ups. A 10 cents from 1923 and a 5 cents from 1941.

Forgers mainly target the higher value items, that are worth their time. A rough way to know if your item has some value is usually how the item has been kept, if it's in a album there's a higher chance you have something interesting.

The weights appear slightly off but it could be a variance in your scale. Report this Post to the Staff
