What does the book say about wreath crowns?

It just lists the years associated with each denomination together with an illustration of some types. So wreath crowns get Crown 1928-1936 (Pl. LV, 10) with a note that 1935 is the St. George type (also illustrated)

I have to say I don't like the unevenness of the rim on the reverse. Are there any other signs to indicate fakery?

Only that the seller listed the same coin for more money and under a slightly different account!

Multiple 1928 crowns why would anyone own more than one?

Apart from whether it's legit, that way to do business is definitely an off to me.  No one know what will be happened after payment.  By the way, the toning of reverse is a bit odd to me.

If in any doubt, avoid! It's not like these are particularly rare.
