    Hi all,

    I have a couple of aussie crowns I'm potentially looking to sell to kick off a stack clearout and consolidation.

    I bought the two 1938's from good sellers (one a coin dealer) but I'm still hoping the experts here can advise on their authenticity because I don't have any means to test them. Scarily, from what I have read the majority of 38's bought and sold on ebay are fakes so if anybody can advise if they are no good, or is convinced they are real, they will either go back in the safe or up for sale.

    IF you are happy they are real I will ask for the following plus post $13 express. Bank deposit before sending. I have no sales history on the forum but heaps of buys recently which I can hopefully lean on the sellers there to vouch.

    1937 $50
    1938 $210 each.

    Will trade the two crowns for a left facing 10oz pm too if there is interest in a trade.

    Best regards
    Gsb

    Weights look OK on cheap scales.

    Best is to go to your Local Coin Shop and get them Tested. Even Numismatic monthly show ; one of the dealer should carry those verify to test.

    They do give Free Test.
