well i know where it wont end up :(

TBH i'd love to think this is genuine. The seller sells many Sovs, but a rarity such as this on ebay is somewhat strange to me. An EF graded coin in Spinks is around 8500 quid. Why put this coin on ebay if its so rare?

Even Spinks has a warning of forgeries for this date. It all looks fishy to me. B)

I can't vouch for authenticity, but ebay often exceeds major auctions at final hammer, AND only have a 10% sellers fee! I think all the serious collectors/dealers have a pretty good handle on eBay nowadays, despite everything that's said! Look at us lot, for instance, when something special comes along (not saying this is) we're all drooling and speculating, CALCULATING, twitching, itching...there are quite a few armchair bidders methinks!

Most of the quality hammered is almost untouchable on eBay!

C'mon, Dave, you use one of those electro cleaners, any good for this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170910669150?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 ;)

Nah Stuart, when a coin of that magnituude comes along, it should and would be put into a serious auction. We should be looking at 5k or more for this Sov
