Fake crown

Recommended Posts

Good evening,

I know for real, that this crown is fake. But for me it looks so real. Can someone help me and say, which signs show, that this is fake, if I haven't scales and cannot determin, is this silver or not.

Thanks for all. If someone thinks, that I ask stupid questions, plese don't annoy, I'm just learning and ask for help

On the outermost edge of the crown it looks like a cast-line, a rough surface left by the machine that makes hundreds a day.

The face of George appears to lack detail and the coin appears "grainy" rather than a smooth surface that these coins normally have.
