    17 out of 30 people got it wrong in the fake Libertad poll.
    What about the Kookaburra? Which one, (if any) do you think is fake?

    Please vote in the poll and write your opinions if you like to.

    I know nothing about kookaburras or any bullion really. But #2 looks pretty rough. The cameos look like plastic.

    #2

    Same here. #2 looks a bit rough in the fields.

    Just to be clear, you have 4 options in your poll, yet you ask "which one is fake". Are you stating that one is actually real and one is fake? Or are you just throwing that statement at us as a possible diversion?

    You are correct, the way I asked the question I implied one is fake. The correct question should sound like:

    "Which of the two coins pictured, if any, do you think is fake?" or
    "Do you think any of the coins pictured is fake? Which? "

    I voted #2, but now I think they both are fake.

    Please tell us which version each coin is? On #1 the detail on the bird on the left is different than the standard coin, but the same as the Snake Privy, yet no snake on the front to go with it. #2 I could not find any images to compare and make any guess.
