Coin_poacher Valued Member Australia 73 Posts	Posted 04/23/2023 01:18 am Hi I'm new here and sort of new to collecting. I mainly like collecting errors and verieties. So I found this 5 cent coin and the obverse looks not quite right I'm not sure what's happening with this coin and thought it could be fake because of how the Queens head has features that are not right about it but I have doubts about anyone counterfeiting 5 cent coins #128528;. The coins weight is exactly the same as other 5 cent coins so I really need help please and thank you Report this Post to the Staff

Coin_poacher Valued Member Australia 73 Posts	Posted 04/23/2023 01:21 am The coin is dated 2003 If you look at top coin which is coin in question the Queens hair looks off and her nose slightly rounder and shorter. Also the head size is a little different. And the circled letter A is bigger and is spaced a little differently. The reverse looks the same no different Edited by Coin_poacher 04/23/2023 01:44 am Report this Post to the Staff
