Not to mention the strangely more accented breast... His/her other coins are authentic, so maybe he/she doesn't know about it being a fake? Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 11/29/2015 11:53 pm I have seen a really good pressure cast fake of a Tradie, alongside a genuine example. The best way of picking the difference with these two was by examining each, side by side, under a 10x loupe, looking for surface imperfections. The ring tone was very close as was the weight. Not tested with XRF; perhaps that may have provided some extra clues. Report this Post to the Staff
