Swb 30

[JamesT]

Hello

This has had a hard life but I think it's OK. 30 for Hauptmünzamt, Wien

Thanks

Hi James,

I'm not real sure on this one. The detail seems pretty good on the front, but the reverse looks very rough with a lot of pitting. Also, the pin doesn't look quite right. The shepherd crook bend doesn't seem correct and I don't see any tool marks from the pin bender.

Best regards,
Tom

Here is one for comparison:

Yes yours is certainly a lot crisper.

I was thinking the pin had been replaced. Seen from this angle the cast marks are much clearer. Thanks

Cast fake IMO. Just as Tom already posted there is a huge difference compared to an original zink 30

Reverse is one big mess unfortunately, cast indeed

Kind regards,
