Hi ageka, and CC gold collectors

I have some doubts about these guineas on ebay

They have strange look to me, like they were all cast from the same batch of metal on the same day. What do you think?

The first and the third definitely have a feel of electroplating or sandcasting ( lost wax system )
I would not buy any of these without expert authentication

I once asked help on an old Italian coin and it was very quickly confirmed it was a fake ( as I suspected )

If you are intrested in buying any of these you can ask help from the specialists ( one of which is a member of this forum but I forgot which one )

Hi Ageka,
Thanks! Yes, I am interested in guineas. I would not touch these. I am a member and contributor to CFDL, I will post them there.
