Hello there!

I need some help in how to distinguishing the differences between dark and bright ironcoins.

I know that my pictures might be a bit off with the colour compared to IRL but I think they should do.

My question is if I've got a dark 1942 1 öre here or not.. I know there are forgeries around.. and being worn might make it look dark.. so I'd like some help. I also added a bright one for comparison.

The darker coins really looks to be an authentic coin.. Which is "XR" in my 2010 swedish catalog, meaning there are around 5 known examples in private collections. Which makes the odds that this one would be real a bit low..

I've also read on other various forums that these have many fakes, done in many different ways. I also read that the darker iron is actually only a small "coating", so if worn it would bring forth the brighter iron like in the picture above.. Do anyone know anything about these?

Noone who can tell if this is a fake coin or if it really is an extremely rare coin? :) (There is a difference in value you know..)

I try my best to answer question about Scandinavian coins, but here I must confess my ignorance.

Have you tried this Swedish site? Someone there might know.
