i have an account but didnt thinked about download larger pictures... in my screen they are in HD on the forum. 2nd i dont quote the sales houses when im not sure its fake.
Can you tell me what is the problem with the photos? On my screen there is no differences betwen your photos and mine. On what device are you?
Its important because if the photos are not good i need to upload twice on my database.... My database will enlarge photos, but dont know if they need to be already larger when i upload.
Your picture has 400x216 Pixels mine has 1785x969 Pixels.
My picture has 4 times as many pixels as yours !!!
It can be possible to condemn
fakes even on really bad picture in some cases ,
fakes from modern hand cut dies which are already published,
electrotype or
cast fakes if mother or twins are known etc.
But in most cases authentication based on pictures is only possible if we have really high
quality, high resolution picture of the coin and its edge, maybe picture of parts of the coin made under maginification too and all important information like
weight and
die axis etc.
If this is available then authentication based on pictures can be in most cases made as reliable as having the coin in hand.
Dealers and Experts of
auction houses have the coins in hand and they are
still sometimes offering
fakes and get notified by collectors or experts who do not have the coin in hand but who can recognize them based on
good pictures as
fakes.
So we need someone who is
good in authentication of coins and in best case familiar with coins from this emission and he should have either the coin in hand or really
good pictures as described above.
What monitor you are using?
400x216 Pixels = Smart phone?
If so I have to disappoint you, with such an equipment a realiable authentication of coins is 100% impossible, in best case it can be possible to detect obvious or know
fakes, but you can not say for sure if a coin is genuine or not or detecting
good fakes!
Back to the 2 coins, they look exacty as I would expect that 2 authentic coins from this emission would look like, so it would be possible to make a huge list whith arguments for authenticity where is wirtten that a+b+c-xyz characteristics of the coin are as you can find them on authentic coins. Then a list with problems or arguments speaking against authenticity and there will be 0.
If a coin is exactly as an authentic coin of this emission should look like and there is nothing no problem which speaks against its authenticity than this coin must be considered as authentic.
Flav V please post only
good pictures the huger (resolution) the better, with 400x216 Pixels you can in best case ony condemn obvious
fakes or well known
fakes and even this can be difficult.
And some experts here possibly do not want to
search for better pictures themselves and refuse to
work with so small pictures (as written abouve they are too small to
work with) and will so not respond, so
good picture can increase the chance that more experts will participate in your threads.
