Hello

Sorry Threepence - meant to do this!1905 shilling

The more I look at that 1/- the more I'm convinced its wrong.

Has anyone dropped a note to the buyer (& seller)? I have a feeling this is all innocent.It would be interesting to trace the history of this coin.

Interesting, the changed 5 example I posted earlier also came from Devon, though it was over 6 years ago.

I know for certain that this coin has been bought (and returned) on eBay before, but not whether the seller is the same. However, in both cases the seller was from Plymouth, Devon.

Hi Coinery Here's the link - I'm storing it for future reference!

The eBay listing will only persist for a month or two after the sale date. To prevent the images from being lost, here they are:

As we're on the subject of shillings and fakes (not that I'm thread jacking at all!) someone might be interested in this trio of modern replica Charles I shillings for sale on eBay. I've reported them as fake too, but don't expect anything to happen ...

Not that it's enough to condemn the chap, but I do know he operates under about a dozen different usernames, for some reason...

Thanks, Debbie, thanks Nick! Another one in the grey matter that hopefully won't catch me out!
