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.

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.

I don't think it is a repro. Picture still has some of the Sovereign rarities border! Just a fraudster trying it on.

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."

I would guess AI generated.

No, it's the one that sold in Bernie's sale. The seller must be some sort of moron.

Just out of interest, is it a single known example?

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

Another fake being offered as genuine.

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!

yes, it’s way too perfect not to be a repro
