<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Adrian, post: 904434, member: 25674&quot;]Hi,</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m new to this forum : )</p><p><br /></p><p>Had these two english silver sixpences for a couple of months now and there is always this uneasiness in me whenever i see these two coins. i feel that they&#039;re forgeries. i tried to scratch a little from the edge and the inside is silver in colour too (don&#039;t scream at me, i know its very stupid of me to scratch a coin but i can&#039;t help myself). dare not scratch it too severely though. not sure if the electroplating is thick or its really real. bought the second one thinking i can compare them but they both aren&#039;t convincing at all. there are very fine &quot;W&quot;s on the shield that i personally think its not possible to copy but again, i don&#039;t know, modern technology is disgustingly impressive. the colour isn&#039;t convincing too. </p><p><br /></p><p>sorry i haven&#039;t got the gadgets to test for silver or any weighing machines to give you guys more details on it. i&#039;ll try to provide good pictures then. it was taken nearest to the original colour with natural lighting. please take note of the inner parts of the ears. they look fake.</p><p><br /></p><p>so my dear forum experts, please help me on these two. let me know if what i have are real? many thanks in advance!!</p><p><br /></p><p>adrian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
