Unfortunately, both appear to be counterfeits to me. Where'd you get them?

Not to sound like a broken record but the word Fake immediately jumped out upon seeing these Chinese counterfeits

They do not look genuine to me, either.
I'd pass a magnet over them. I'm quite confident that they'll stick.

Sorry you got burned, xamenos. Can you share in a general way the circumstances of the purchase to halp others avoid a similar disappointment? Online purchase? What country was the seller located in? Et cetera.

There are a couple different tests that can be done with a magnet but a magnet will stick to only maybe 20% of the fakes out there and that percentage is dropping. The 23 gram weight though is instant confirmation that the pieces are fake. (And not to chastise you too much but that test should have been done before coming here to ask if they were real.) |

Hi, I've been buying badges and postcards of this person for over a year now he offered the coins to me as genuine, he has a small market stall in melbourne selling badges, postcards,football cards etc. I haven't had time to go and see him yet but when I do I am going to ask him for a refund.
