Leave them a unhappy review on Trustpilot and you'll get a phone call tommorow offering an exchange or refund.

I think i will. There seems to be a few of these like its a mass production error. I've spotted another on eBay similar to mine and another were the rear of the train is elevated and the nose wheels are low on the rail. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/385539173545 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404175330733 It's whether I'll get a correct replacement or not though as it's a limited edition.

Seems i am not alone. Another one..Odd Flying Scotsman £2

Got this today. Not sure what to make of it. The quality is awful and it doesn't live up to what was displayed on the RM website. The train looks derailed and is not level with the track and there is some doubling at the rear of the engine were the train is not seated correctly with the outline.

It's gone through the bit with the mint signature "EBOR" which is short for EBORACI (York)

My pierced one. Not sure if it's been pierced for the 1696 recoinage or if it was a touch piece. Always intrigued me.

Nothing odd jumps out about it. Looks genuine to me. Class IVa with the extra I after the R of Rex. Sellers got feedback for a few sold Norman coins one registered with PAS. Stu.

Think you're right. Looks like GILDEPINE ON C I guess if spacing was an issue they would lose the A after the C. Stu.

The one Clive posted is struck further down the line than the one i posted so you've got wear on the die but its essentially the same coin. What are the chances of an original and a copy having these same features. That's all i compared it on quickly.
-
I never looked at the obverse. The reverse was clear enough to see it's the same coin. They are becoming more common on eBay now. There was a John Irish half penny a few months ago as well. Same coins from Ireland. Looked like someone had put it through a rock tumbler to knock it about and add wear. I reported it but it went on to sell as usual.
-
Did you click on the link i posted? Its the same coin just been cut in half.
-
Yes. It looks like one of those silver coin copies you get from Ireland off eBay. Reported ! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255695189215

Class 5 Sub-Class ID of Henry III Voided Long Cross Penny
Ukstu replied to JTerry3's topic in British Hammered
You can rule out 5a1. The letter X is incorrect and the crown ends for class 5a1.5b2 is more likely. This guide is a bit better. It may help. Longcross Coin Guidebook -
Cheers Rob. That settles it then. Thank you. Stu.

Thanks Rob That is indeed the same coin. Someone has marked Ex ER Duncan Elias on one of the tickets and bought from Patrick Finn 18/2000 No 507 Illustrated. I have the Elias book in my library. The type is listed as Elias 288. https://ibb.co/BPWwCQC
