Apollo Pillar of the Community Canada 1610 Posts	Posted 03/31/2012 11:57 am I don't think it's fake, though surely it is harshly cleaned. Nice coins, I like B the best. Report this Post to the Staff
coingirl Previously Ousted Canada 398 Posts	Posted 03/31/2012 12:09 pm DBM, how did you guess... you are right Vicky just does not look right.., the nose, the hair... an Obv 2 50 cent nose does not look like that... West Canuk, thanks for that. I am aware of Mikes site and have actually dealt with mike for several years. But, lately he is very secretive. Report this Post to the Staff
coingirl Previously Ousted Canada 398 Posts	Posted 03/31/2012 12:16 pm Apollo, have a hard look at F.. This AM (o430 my time in BC) I was going to buy it. I had asked the seller overseas(Europe) to send me better Images....No reply... Nothing, just ignorance. So... unless there is a considerable change in the sellers attitude of ignorance, I am not shelling out 650. Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9865 Posts	Posted 03/31/2012 12:21 pm The eye,nose and ribbon bow look like OBV4.Interesting but not neccessarily a fake.Just my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
coingirl Previously Ousted Canada 398 Posts	Posted 03/31/2012 12:24 pm Here are both sides next to another authentic coin.. Seller writes in his description that it is a 2/2 ie RP, which is ok , BUT he also writes the A in Regina is RP and the N and last A is RP. I have never seen all these varieties in ONE coin together! please compare... Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9865 Posts	Posted 03/31/2012 1:16 pm Ask the seller for better pics.The more I look the more the bow and ribbon don't look right. Report this Post to the Staff

coingirl Previously Ousted Canada 398 Posts	Posted 03/31/2012 1:39 pm I asked for more Images.. and better Images.. NO reply... Report this Post to the Staff
coingirl Previously Ousted Canada 398 Posts	Posted 03/31/2012 2:05 pm so what about the appearance of Vicky? the nose, the hair , etc.. if the dies were so different, they would be noted and listed as very different in Charlton (in the 50 cent issue) I am very sure that the oprtrait of the subject coin does not match an obverse 2 50 cent portrait. the nose is completely different.So is part of the bow. there are some date varieties listed in Zoells. it could roughly come close. but the seller describes it as having the A/A, the N/N , S/s in (cents) and the 2/2... I have never heard of all being on one coin... I am NOT saying that the seller is not honest. If it is a fake, he may not be aware of it. Report this Post to the Staff

coingirl Previously Ousted Canada 398 Posts	Posted 03/31/2012 5:25 pm Coincollect: there are some slight varieties known in the date and the date did not bother me so much as it matches with Hans Zoells designations. Report this Post to the Staff
