Can someone please tell something about this coin? I bought from the local flea market. The seller had 20 pieces. I was tempted to get the lot but the Mrs. got the last word. I asked the guy if he had more. He's got 50 more at home. Anyway they are A$5 each as big as 1 oz Libertad this coin. If this is genuine, I'll go back next weekend on my own so the missus wont spoil it for me. Thanks for any info.
http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces52826.html I generally search coins on that website before purchasing. I think the coins are magnetic?
$50.00 gone should have bought a magnet instead. The guy looks genuinely nice. Eastern European accent. You know like " Simples" Compare the meerkat dot com dot au So to save me from more embarrasment. Is there a special magnet for this kind of transactions? what about a fridge magnet or an old speaker magnet?
There are alot of fakes. Spotted 1937 Crown, immediately can tell by its weigh, even I dont have a scale. This is in CanningVale market. Fyi.
Something like this will do the trick. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Pcs-Test-...-Key-Chain-Magnet-Split-Keyring-/300732966263
I don't carry scales/eye piece around unless i am at the market or minthly meet. But if you are unfamiliar with the coin, do google it up. I usually google it up before worrying if its fake or not.
In the scrap metal game a magnet comes in handy, also for garage sale/trash n treasure markets, very important. you can pick up any old piece of junk for 50c etc, if it doesn't stick it's at least stainless steel or aluminium anything solid brass etc is a no brainer to pick up, a magnet will pay off over and over. I get these.. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-Pcs-Po...H_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item5d47799cac&_uhb=1 I've bought off 'em twice, for a measly $2.92 delivered, you get 2.
If you have an old hard drive around, you can use the neodymium magnet(s) in there. It's pretty easy to get them out of there. You can google youtube videos that show you how. Hope this helps!
