sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 08/26/2017 10:32 am Beware top quality fakes with these. I had the bad experience of being deceived by top quality fakes of other very scarce Australian silver coins. Take great care to compare visually side by side with a known genuine example, or take to a leading numismatic auctioneer for a respected opinion. For my eye it looks quite ok, but my opion is not of the same level as that of a leading numismatic auctioneer. Fields look slightly pasty to me.

wwwww Pillar of the Community Australia 541 Posts	Posted 08/26/2017 10:40 pm 220,000 is correct, you can get mintage figures along with values for all the shillings here: https://bluesheet.com.au/Commonweal...933_Shilling Just remember these numbers reflect the original quantity minted, being 92.5% silver, a lot of them would have been melted so the actual surviving count is much lower.

CoinOS Valued Member 269 Posts	Posted 01/06/2018 11:14 pm The 1933 is rare, and very widely copied. The imaged coin shows none of the characteristics of a copied/forged coin and is likely genuine. It's been cleaned at some point but that doesn't detract much from the value of a gF/aVF 1933 shilling which on Australian ebay is about a hundred dollars. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 01/06/2018 11:24 pm The scarcest date for this type. I had another and closer look at it. From the pictures alone, I think it is quite genuine. Cat value in this condition around $130 U.S. Report this Post to the Staff
