They all look genuine to me. Am I missing something?

There are lots of forgeries of the Eritrea 5 Lire.

I have 2 different forgeries, one of 26 g, the other, the correct weight but magnetic and the wrong diameter.

I'm not convinced that the description isn't just copied from the catalogue instead of the actual coin's weight.

Sorry, all fake to me. The Bavarian coins don't look like silver-made. The rims of the Italian coins are poor. All such species are popular counterfeited.
