1717 Dump Farthing

[HeavyT 7]

Hi, I'd be grateful for some advice regarding the item at the link below.

Is it possible for one of our resident experts to tell from the pics if there are any obvious tell-tale signs that might suggest it's a fake?

Also, if it is genuine, how much would you say it’s worth based on the condition shown in the pics:

I haven't got Peck to hand, but it looks like reverse B. Maybe slightly overpriced.

The coin is genuine. One sold last month at LCA in a very very ugly state for £60 hammer (about £72 all in) and one similar to the OP coin sold in Dec 2014 for £110 hammer (probably around £135 all in).

Looks good to me (my opinion but prob right)

Looks fine and a reasonable price.

I've seen worse go for a lot more.

Better than sex copper.

I was heading for a meeting in London.

M11 was static so took a turn off for a quick evacuation.

Relieved but found out later I was probably on CCTV.(Royal Mint )

I should of kept it quiet....My emails THAT DAY. Stoppage due to chemical spill Good mates etc.

Why didn't I stop at Stansted?....but who would unless flying.

Moral story here I don't do curry before an early start.

I have also been locked in a BP garage loo's at 5am in Newmarket.

Too much info I only work locally now with OCCASIONAL ventures out in bandit area,s

I've done my time.

An ice breaker for the Contract.
