The scroll type platform under the Kangaroo's feet on the Heaton Coin doesn't seem correct but my coins are too worn to compare.

Yeah I would keep away from that listing. Each of those coins has a book value of $500 to $1000 each so it seems strange not to sell them separately. Also there is the zero feedback and the seller isn't selling any other items.
Oh and BF, you might want to ask the seller to take your email address down from the question and answer part of the listing !

Pretty much (murealCOPYthat) & if they have the coins on a "cutting matt" (used for cutting stencils/paper & anything else), I can only assume that there has to be alot more to this fraudster & his NO other listings & feedback as you guys have mentioned. Stay far far away.

I'd stay away from this one.....don't think pictures are high res enough to make a conclusion but a new seller with a pricy coin is a good reason enough to avoid the auction all together
I would recommend purchasing these kinds of coins through dealers even with the higher price attached
Better safe than sorry dor the sake of a few dollars (or few hundred dollars)

They really are pretty obvious FAKES,look at the stars,they look more like a limp star fish ( no definition & rounded ) & the obvious weaknesses,the 15H in particular in the E FL in ONE FLORIN & a heap of other little giveaways.

I would suggest the poor English and the ignorance of the seller in the answering of questions would be enough to indicate these are fake even without looking at the pictures of the coins.

I could be wrong in saying this; but the 1915 (not the 1915H) - on the left hand side. The beading around the coin seems to go over the top - like it doesn't come to a flat top, -- on real florins, the beading stops, flat top, then reeding starts other side.... I don't think I explained that well.
