This hopelessly overgraded coin does have a redeeming feature; it includes lunch!!!!!!!!!!!

Biscuits and cheese if I'm not mistaken.

Nah, tarts. He comes from Bakewell.

I've always thought that those of us on the other side of the pond have a better eye for quality -- and here's the proof -- a lovely 1853 rainbow toned farthing...

Rainbow Farthing

I wonder which chemicals they used?

If I recall correctly, you stick it on the gas ring...

Correct in the case of the blue, and the red comes from Brasso or similar.

Don't get knocked over in the rush for this one...what a bargain.

The postage is 5x more than the coin is worth

[Coppers 57]

Is it or isn't it?

1946 Proof Farthing

[Peter 615]

All the George V1 farthings looked previously polished...with this one in question recently buffed up.

Unless a clear close up photo is available (or a contact nr for the coin dealer) I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

[Coppers 57]

Incontrovertible proof that the American fascination for toned coins has gone too far...

A Colourful Copy

[Geordie582 18]

[Red Riley 2]

At least they're being honest, but what imbecile would buy this cr*p?

[HistoricCoinage 115]

Just when you thought Edward I Groats were rare...

Only a couple thousand dollars over the top, therefore quite reasonable by ebay standards. 1806 penny

But the thing that makes me really mad is the 'Numismatic Guaranty Corporation' describing it as 1P.

Most interesting description for a coin: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...alenotsupported

Great pic of it too, think we could all learn a lesson or two about coin photography...

Bit of a problem here. When I hit that link I get somebody selling a pair of trousers!

[Red Riley 2]

Oh, I see. That's the point.

[HistoricCoinage 115]

[Rob 2,998]

Oh, I see. That's the point.

It's not only the mismatch between title and picture. The title is a coin, the picture is of a Levi's label but the description is for a pair of Nike tracksuit bottoms.

It's quite clearly a mule. The winner will probably receive a donkey jacket.

Does the seller of the coin live in a sanatorium?
