To my inexpert eye, I think there's die wear here giving a thicker lower curve of the three, which makes the bottom appear squarer.

To be honest if you had bought any of those lots in the fifties or sixties you probably had a few ok coins that would have showed you a profit say twenty years later . Did you get a bargain at the time? No but there again new collectors have to start somewhere .....1 point

I have had a reply from Chris Finch, it was apparently ‘squeezed in late doors’ and he will make sure it is properly examined. I hope this means it will be excluded. I don’t know who deals with their copper and bronze, but it is certainly worrying that the expertise seems lacking. The Hiram Brown auctions were an example in this respect, with great rarities un-described in bulk lots. Jerry1 point

Yes, that's very concerning when one of the top auction houses doesn't spot a blatant modern repro.1 point

The fake copper pennies all have perfectly proportioned and regularly spaced teeth which are all made on modern computerized machinery , where as on the genuine coins an adjustment was made to the tooth spacing under the third digit in the date by having a wider tooth .1 point

It certainly looks like it is muled marks, but could be crown over grapes. For some reason, the legend is often a but squashed in at the mark on a few shillings I've seen, so I think it is probably genuine. The harp strings look a bit crude, but the blocked letters such as the E are often seen in this period and a copy is unlikely to replicate this. Weight is ok.1 point
