ttkoo Pillar of the Community Australia 2533 Posts	Posted 11/08/2022 02:01 am A fake? you would have to think why bother with a 5 cent? I agree, weigh it accurately and compare. Perhaps a filled die, uneven thickness planchet or a weak strike. The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 11/09/2022 04:53 am Elizabeth's eye detail looks 'off' with this coin. ? perhaps due to a small hit? - or otherwise?. There are lots of them all over, especially in the area around the eye. Very indistinct lettering detail - especially Z and L of 'ZEALAND'. Report this Post to the Staff

Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 12/10/2022 06:38 am The first photo is a circulating coin and the second photo is a mint set coin. The circulating coins were produced by the Royal Canadian Mint using their low-relief version of the Arnold Machin portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Report this Post to the Staff
