The other day I received my latest 3 oz SF round from @BackyardBullion and I put it with my others . It looked shiny and new whereas the others where toning . It made me think, to polish or not to polish. The early toning on the kit kat bar is definitely giving it a new dimension. Side by side you can easily see the difference even though my photos don't do them justice.

163ym016 reacted to Zhorro in Speechless again !! This time its Queens Beasts 1oz Gold Completer Fakes
Well, I decided to buy one in order to see how good it was.
My first impression was that it was not a bad attempt. However on closer inspection:
- as @cylinder99 said, it is high relief (especially the Queen's head),
- when compared to a 1oz gold Britannia, the fake is larger and has a sort of greenish tint when compared to the yellow of the genuine coin,
- even though it is larger, it is underweight. The genuine Completer should be 31.21 grams but the fake was 25.92 grams in its capsule! But I am not sure how accurate my scales are, as they are new, but it is certainly underweight.
So, superficially, it is not a bad attempt, but it should not deceive someone with even a little knowledge.

Take one coin from tube one, two coins from tube two and so on. Should equal 1110 ounces. If tube one is fake it weighs 1109.5, if tube 2 is fake it weighs 1109 and so on....
