coaster Pillar of the Community Australia 1364 Posts	Posted 03/21/2020 11:07 am Hi Trakka01 and Your photo needs to be clearer so that more detail can be seen as the Southern Cross is just a blur ... and as Coinfrog pointed out, showing both sides is always helpful. Report this Post to the Staff

Probably the most important characteristic of pictures in deciding if a coin is fake or not, is that they are in sharp focus on the screen. Very minor differences in design (or not) relative to genuine are important. What is the exact weight of the coin? Report this Post to the Staff
Trakka01 New Member Australia 2 Posts	Posted 03/22/2020 5:12 pm Hi again! Very sorry,I thought I had posted a pic of both sides...after all the attempts I had made for that one. Hehe I will have to figure out how to do it now. Thank you for the quick responses though :-) Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 03/22/2020 7:47 pm Even with the poor picture, Thr fact that it may be a counterfeit (as opposed to fake), is quite plausible. A couple of years ago Great Britain was flooded with counterfeit aluminium bronze One Pound coins. Report this Post to the Staff
