Thanks Martin - I'll take a detailed look at all the replica dates and add that information.

OK - I think I understand. There must have many different dies, all with slightly differing widths. Gouby's Ae has a lower 7 so that makes your picture immediately above unlisted ?
Do you agree that Ian's and my examples of Ad are valid ?

I have one of these and noted that it wasn't recorded by Michael but never sent him the pictures. I can now classify it as Ad.

I'm furious as I've been messaging the seller telling him that many of his coins are fakes but he's just telling me to stop harassing him. I hope the buyers can tell the difference but I suspect that they're not experts.

Yes, I agree but that 1849 fake just sold for £232 !!!

The fake/replica coins have quite a deep "scar" in the queen's hair that still shows in worn coins and is not present in genuine coins:

I reported this listing to Ebay today - it's an obvious replica:
And here's their reply:
What happened:
We looked into your report and didn’t find the listing to be in violation of our policy. This determination was made using automation or artificial intelligence.So that's alright then.

That reverse is scarily good - I had to count the teeth to make sure but the fake has 180 teeth whereas the genuine article has 187.

Yes, none of the fake copper coins have that wider tooth under the date. Their teeth are incredibly uniform.
