You called it   Coins as rare as that I would stake my life come with some form of provenance  side apart from it looking like a complete fake . I was going to add perhaps it has come to the stage where only slabbed authenticated coins will be saleable and raw coins not even if they came with C.O.A the C.O.A would probably be fake as well

Have a look at this 1911 gold half sovereign. Might be wrong but to me the sword suspect.

Looks ok just bad lighting by the widow sun out and curtains giving it a weird look.? Again I learned the hard way like most of us . Things that are just out of focus or just not sure are cleverly designed that way for a reason normally. Not all but most

What about this 1886 Queen Victoria halfcrown. Is it unusual for the 6 to have a curly tail??

I wouldn't buy it. Can't put my finger on it but it don't look right. Might just be the awful picture

The list goes on and on and yours truly jumped in with both feet to fill my boots. On second look they just didn't look right. Not paid for yet. Pay the £100 & leave negative feedback when returned?

[declan03 149]

Yes WPA, they were all sold this evening. I,m surprised they made it past this forum. I tried searching the forum for fake Victorias but there's no info unfortunately.  ???

[PWA 1967 1,841]

Not a chance i would pay the £100..............

 

[PWA 1967 1,841]

Just tell the guy the truth you have found out they are fakes and only cost a couple of £ each.

[declan03 149]

It would mean him getting off with it to do the same again.....he made about 1k earlier. I wonder how many times he has pulled this stunt?

The more you look at it the more It's 'wrong' look at the nose and mouth

[Unwilling Numismatist 505]

And the eyes, if looks could kill....

[zookeeperz 470]

same 6 on the 1886 and they all look fake. Report the fraudster. that other guy made 7.5k on fake kew's. This is some serious wonga going missing from innocent folk. Surely there is some kind of fraud watch for crying out loud. It is clearly apparent to me now if it wasn't before Ebay is a scam site and should carry a 3/10 trustworthy rating. Might kick them in the backside to police the site. They quote all these subsection rules and conditions but don't do anything about it. I want to report ebay for soliciting criminal entity's to run rife through their site. Where do I go?

[zookeeperz 470]

Surely not? really resurrecting 200 year old dies from the vaults to restrike anniversary coins? Damn these are pretty impressive. I can see these fooling many esp the reverse. If the wish desired

That seller has lots of ... copies, a very varied selection indeed.
