Raven coins welcome to the forum 😀 👍.
Another indicator i look at for the 1897 High tide if not the clearest picture is the shield almost touching the teeth ,on the normal one there is a gap.

Just match them with items on numista (or send me links to high quality pics, I'll try to get them IDed; incl Polish & Ukr, too), then search past auctions, including USA auction houses (since such a large market here), such as Heritage, Great Collections, Stephen Album, Stacks Bowers.
What are FDC? I only know if that as meaning fleur de coin, grade for proofs in top condition.
Its First day cover as in Stamps.

It is an altered date with the 5 changed to a 4 ,he describes it right this time ,rather than the seller previously who was trying to sell it as a genuine 1843.

Now this clown has decided to try and have someone over as genuine.

Now back with the original person i sold it to.

Seemed as good a place to post as any ,this in my opinion is ridiculous 😯
The sixpence went for over £1K and although they may well be nice and worth a premium ,those prices have gone out of sight.

You have confused me Terry ,not sure what you mean "they are both Ac with the 0 to the left of a tooth "?
The ones first posted are not over a tooth or 12 teeth ,they are to the right or do you mean the last two wider ones.

48 minutes ago, Menger said:Agreed. Similarly, auction houses have a patina of reputation, which presumably they are keen to maintain in their lot descriptions as justification to the sellers for the premiums they charge. I am usually more likely to buy TPG graded for the same reason (as I always buy over distance) and crack them out on arrival if they are keepers. None of these methods are risk free though. Only risk management. It can be a perilous hobby. 🤣
Coin fairs are without doubt the best and forming your own opinion seeing the coin in hand. ,then if you take the coin home and not happy you can only blame yourself 😀.

Even buying from pictures can sometimes hide cleaning and not be a true likeness of the coin in hand and we rely on an honest description ,yes i agree it is however much better with pictures unless your buying off a dealer who you can trust to describe and grade correctly.
Just post it back for a refund and perhaps next time phone them up first to confirm the coin is problem free before buying ,or dont buy from them again 👍

I have done a post on one of the facebook groups ,one of the members is now employed by eBay to help stop this with coin sales.
I know he has a hard time looking at pictures of fakes ,1933 pennies ,coins of all different denominations etc , but hopefully he will be able to take some action.
I will share your pictures if asked Richard ,hope thats ok.
