left looks fake

 

I think they're both fake. The left is definitely a fake and the one on the right is a bit better but looks too much like a proof to be genuine.

 

1 is fake, guaranteed!

 

#1 is fake, no doubt about it.

#2 is possibly a genuine 1989 proof.

 

Have to agree with the current opinion 1st is fake 2nd I believe is real.

 

1 looks terrible. I would need to see the obverse of 2 to be sure.

 

Something just looks very wrong about the veins in the leaf in #1 (too thick and too highly raised). The stem of the leaf doesn't have the slight "hook" that it should either. Not really going out on a limb lol but I'm going with #1 being fake. Can't see any significant problems with #2.

 

Coin #1 is fake. Coin #2 is the real deal. TC

 

Both are fake. Look at the rim on 2 its all different thicknesses, a lot thicker in some.

 

That's probably just the fault of an angled photo and cropping.

 

coin #1 can be bought from a bubblegum machine for $.50.

 

Look between oz and argent that bulge seems too big to be camera angle

 

Left is definitely fake and the right is probably fake with that uneven rim .

 

There is no uneven rim, that's just the angle and the airtite holder the coin is in. I will leave this open until afternoon for more people to vote.

 

#1 looks like a grade school drawing #2 looks too good to be fake.

 

No. 1 - fake
No. 2 - 1998 proof Maple Leaf
Great job.

 

Just curious, but is #1 silver? It looks like it could be aluminum.

 

Heck I was going to change my vote to just #1 , but you gave the answer already .

 

It is not silver, it's some alloy plated with silver
