I'm trying to sell it at ebay and I want to be sure it is original. I don't want to sell if it's fake. Report this Post to the Staff

I guess that you are somewhat familiar with this series; I have quite a few myself, including a 1927 50 cents, but I don't have one of these. This particular coin is copper nickel, and this one LOOKS as if it may be zinc, but I seriously doubt that. The colour, from the picture looks 'off', but that just may be the picture in this case. What prompted you to doubt the coin yourself? Report this Post to the Staff
mattkasmani New Member Singapore 25 Posts	Posted 06/03/2011 9:24 pm Well thank you. The color is exactly as it is. I used a scanner. The coin is grey in color that is why I question the authenticity. It looks like it is made from clay but it produce metal sounds if I drop it on the floor. I really new to coins which I got it from my late father. I intend to sell it as I don't think I could keep it any longer and hopefully someone die-hard coin collectors can appreciate my dad's coins. So to know more about coins I have joined this forum and it helped me since I joined. As I said I really don't wish to sell any fake coins. Just to be really sure, I need expert opinions. Thanks. Oh by the way I got a little familiar about coins which I learned from this forum. Edited by mattkasmani 06/03/2011 9:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff
