I’ve placed an order for a magnetic slide... However, the eBay seller seems genuinely shocked / apologetic and has offered a full refund, so I think on this occasion I’m just going to take her up on her offer...

Thank you @SilverStorm for your carefully considered response... Very informative and helpful indeed! I actually didn't know about the micro-engraved year within the maple leaf, so I'll take a look at that also. Thanks again!

Hi all, I'm new to these forums, so please forgive any potential newb faux pas. I have just taken ownership of a 2021 Australian kangaroo silver dollar; however, I have some concerns over its authenticity. I have conducted some tests; however, the results appear to be contradictory, so if any seasoned experts could provide their thoughts it would be much appreciated. All details as follows: Bought from eBay, along with 2 x 2021 Canadian maples that appear to be real (micro-engraved maple leaf, weight, dimensions etc. all check out) from a seller with perfect feedback history Coin received in an Atkinsons Bullion & Coins sleeve Diameter = 40.54mm Width = 2.86mm Weight = 31.45g Specific gravity = 10.483 Micro-engraved "A" = not present Sound when dinged is duller than I'd expect from silver What really confuses me here is that the specific gravity is spot on and I was under the impression that this couldn't be faked. I believe the dimensions are also within the tolerable limits. I've emailed the Perth Mint to see if it's possible that any coins could have been released without the micro-engraved "A". My immediate thought was to contact the eBay seller and request a refund; however, again, the specific gravity made me pause to take stock... Any guidance here will be much appreciated. Many thanks in advance!
