      Contemporary Fake 1937 Two Shillings

      By Paddy · Posted

      I have seen quite a few GV fake florins and half crown before, but not many GVI. Made of base metal and too soft, they were contemporary forgeries to fool the general public rather than fakes to fool the collectors.

      I think it is a half crown rather than a shilling, but for that the weight should be 15.05g, so still light and therefore dubious.

      It’s not bad is it? Would definitely pass off in change back then!

      So looking at ebay for a 1746 Lima shilling, I saw the proverbial "Price too good to be true". https://www.ebay.com/itm/198094953257?_skw=1746+shilling&itmmeta=01KKASRH7RFABFC5ZNYY4YFKNR&hash=item2e1f611b29:g:rykAAeSwodJpdRoY&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA8GfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xA0mfksDvrMm1ZQRfP60NEnrXz3ivogYcgs7TALxGnYnh5FxBOz%2BeNZQmHQ1VxpXnpNQm1HzAwnOXlcNWK2mGx0%2FUL9PfXrXoB%2FKzKQ2428vbb1Gp5kpN3hH2MztQMXP6VuNiD0ex1d4ujAAKGlJrs0xxnfqbmxVwp8lOFtkxPZScua9H5YRA51JtSJgp90J34Jmht6vZcB9%2BZRzrp2PluphQK8pL8WuHVYsOCSStXmZEKN1ScMK54yPlQS4WSR5yNq5HOS%2FElD5Xfi8r3dLDJWI26i8cAML02DRSYtigIhRw%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR4SU4tmaZw   14.3 g weight instead of the 6.02 g it should weigh. Silver over base metal? Don't know but I'd rather find a real one.

      That type of 4 pence is for circulation. https://en.numista.com/13209 These were the cabby's much hated "Joey" coin.  I picked up an 1836 a while back.
