1870 Ek2 ?

[Mac 66]

Hi Guys is this 1870 EK2 genuine or Fake?
Thanks in Advance

It looks like a Ninth Bead Fake obverse and a good Godet-style 1914 core reverse.

Do you have this in your hands?

It's certainly not one I would advise anyone to buy, but it is an interesting one to me.

It is looking like a ninth bead ,,but I do not think it is

its just the angled picture ...

I think it can be a 1920/1939 version off an ek 1870 ...

but I can be mistaken

with these pictures
its one off these crosses A variation collectors takes a gamble on .
if he's daring enough

,,,,,but I can be mistaken on this one ...
