Sword Posted January 4 Posted January 4 (edited) I have got a reply back from eBay and they said that they "didn't find the listing to be in violation of our policy". What a joke! But they will take notice once they have got more reports. Edited January 4 by Sword 1 Quote
Sword Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Just now, Paddy said: I have had one back saying "We are looking into it". That's the automated message. Let's see if they give a different response this time. Quote

Paddy Posted February 10 Posted February 10 I don't think it is a repro. Picture still has some of the Sovereign rarities border! Just a fraudster trying it on. Quote
The Bee Posted February 10 Posted February 10 The Ebay description was rather erm "odd" as well. "This is a British Victoria Penny coin from 1862, minted during the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901). It is a copper coin with a brown colour. The denomination of the coin is one Penny. It was manufactured in the United Kingdom, specifically Great Britain." Quote

The Bee Posted February 24 Posted February 24 The seller mentions the "This 1863 One Penny Coin features the young Bun Head of Queen Victoria, it has a feature that looks like the 8 over 1, it could be just a dye strike error but either way YOU won't find another 1863 error coin, minted in Great Britain under the Victorian era" Surprised that they didn't comment on the obverse picture 1863 VICTORIAN BUN HEAD ONE PENNY COIN SEE PICS B 173 | eBay Best Regards Quote

Sylvester Posted March 15 Posted March 15 The fakes on eBay are getting scarily good, certainly more convincing than they used to be. As it stands, that George IV is clearly fake, but it's not many more steps to being convincing. They're even doing toned and lower grade fakes now too! Quote

secret santa Posted May 5 Posted May 5 Interesting - they've brought out a new replica version of the Victoria copper penny with slightly different engraving to the hair among other things. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/297276769179?itmmeta=01JTE8F3234WHF1HM7JWMH2BWM&hash=item453713839b:g:CpQAAeSweYJoEyyQ&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAAwFkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1e5ss3Jgnyy4zFpTgT9YSajr66W99ezTrrAu6YzxxkDMDzlAEkBcJsJAtc%2BeFi1Jdgncfk0IoY3WslogoWLquiA6fmxawT13yxy6pzmok2JMfoDx4barv5Kjhv%2FsRMiiKACDrsVxI8xQA62V4kpub%2BagVVN%2B2%2Bm0DGmv3TMQzZqC0PuR8Y60Tk0WRcF6074y1Kbpi9Z2KLbx1efbu1DY4Qx%2FXtGb1bJcwwB2MuVxfPm3A%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5axvMjTZQ 2 Quote
