Its Queen Elizabeth Shrek II .   Terry

Looks like he is covering all bases. Description includes George VI and 1962 and a picture of 'Victoria'. What else could one want?

On second thoughts, I wonder if it's the Indian with the golden horse cart?

That's the bit I don't understand. Who'd want to shill such a cheap piece?

it started at 1p so that would account for a fair few bids.

This is very typical of Saxby, who sells as many "Richard III" as Edward I. He is not a good advert for Ebay.

Two more listed this week. I have followed over 127 listings in the past two years average £70:00 each, who on earth is buying them.? Also interesting is that he never seems to receive any  feedback for any of these coins. And as azda says E.Bay do nothing.

If he's not getting feedback, then it's a pound to a 1933 penny that he's shilling most of his auctions.

It does check out though http://www.pcgs.com/cert/81260679

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm amazed that this would be graded at all. As for the label, well I guess that's just the colour wash of the photograph. If genuine, it doesn't reassure me about TPGs though.

Do they give PR numbers of less than 60? I thought they reverted to F, VF, XF, AU irrespective of whether it was a proof or not? Could be wrong though

I didn't realise that they do until now. 

This guy is proud of his low grading at PR45.

Regardless of how low the grade is, if it's a proof then it will always be proof in their eyes

I thought it was the other way round. i.e. it was always going to be a proof in our eyes, but not theirs. It must be the inconsistency that is throwing us. We've had this discussion before - somewhere.

Once a proof, always a proof. The proof-only 1895 Philadelphia dollar is known only in proof but there are plenty of circulated specimens around. I just couldn't bid on that one...

Are you sure Clive?  I don't see an arrow in Harold's eye.  Something FAKE about that I feel.  Bad.  Very bad.
