mrcruise Pillar of the Community Australia 552 Posts	Posted 03/18/2012 12:55 am See what you mean trout Looks like a weak strike on wavy part of the 2 baseline but wavy part of wave is definately there Heard many reports of fakes for this coin Though it may be genuine my gut says let this one go Report this Post to the Staff
Squire Wilson Pillar of the Community Australia 653 Posts	Posted 03/18/2012 12:56 am Hi trout. From an earlier discussion in "Coin Community" I understand that the "wave" in the upper bar of the "2" needs to be reflected in the wave above the baseline. According to this, the illustrated coin does appear genuine. When I found my "wavy" I had second thoughts about forgery so I took it to a coin dealer. He verified it for me .

trout1105 Pillar of the Community Australia 7096 Posts	Posted 03/18/2012 01:14 am It it is genuine then it is a very poor example. I saw the $350 on it and almost bought it But thought better of it Edited by trout1105 03/18/2012 01:16 am Report this Post to the Staff

enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 03/18/2012 01:31 am The way it is photographed can make the wave look very different even on the same coin. It has the wave in the ripple above and the seller is reputable. Definitely genuine. Don't buy one that's cheating! Finding my wavy is one of the best feelings I've had ...... how sad Report this Post to the Staff
