Hi @neo4516 yes you will need to take some new pics in natural daylight and in the same context i am struggling  to tell if its even genuine, looks like a proof but i don't think it will add much value

Will try tomorrow I am. It worried about if it's real,as it came from a good online source! Would a proof be worth more than a normal release? I am about to make a order with GS.be and hope to add either a 1/4 or 1/4 j love these coins

It has all the features of a proof coin but also a small ding on the reverse. So you could get a small premium when you sell it.

Unfortunately the pictures are s bit blurry and it's hard to make out details on the motive and portrait to judge if it's real or fake. Can you get one of those macro lenses for you phone to get a closeup on the antlers and jackets?

Yes mine exactly like that :D 

Not exactly: your coin is yellow gold but Krugerrands have a gold/copper alloy so it should be reddish like sovereigns. Unless it's the lightning it's a gold plated coin. 

Secondly I can't see the details on the jacket, the antlers or the body of the springbok - have a look: if not present its fake.
