Henry Vi farting?

Recommended Posts

I would go for a fake . The dies seem to be engraved and not produced with the use of punches

Same here. It should be saltire stops on the obverse, not pellets. It's dodgy status is helped by a fine price of 525 and a VF one of 2250.

Where it was obtained might give a clue to if its a fraud

I think that a comparison with the image of the coin sold at auction could be quite clear. The pellets shape and their distribution in the inner circles are quite different as well as the shape of some letters, see the S for example.
