With a image like that i couldn't say for certain. But i will add I've seen stuff that sellers been selling recently and none of its rung any alarm bells. I tend to avoid "butter lense" photographs and distance photo's lots as it could be an attempt to conceal something.

Thats normal. The heart shapes on all of them for that year , think its meant to be a pleat. I've no concerns what so ever about it. Looks great.

He eventually pulled it for a 2nd time. Not sure why. Perhaps he's planning on relisting it in the future as genuine. He copied and pasted the title from another similiar genuine coin that was listed on ebay. I shall keep my out for it resurfacing again. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/322761216842 The real listing he filched his title from http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/R054-Henry-VIII-Hammered-Silver-Groat-posthumous-issue-under-Edward-VI-S-2404/201528050660

Lol. I guess we will be seeing it again after all! Someone will buy it and relist it as genuine no doubt. Oh well we tried?

? Lol. I thought when i saw the description perhaps it was a foreigner. Definitely pigeon engrish. Well at least he's understood what you've all said to him. Nice job again.

He's pulled it. ?

Could be. He seems to know its details & spink number. Seems to have done the trick guys....its gone..ended ?

They could retract their bids. Its whether they go back over the description and realise. Doubtful.

I used to do it that way frank until i started using the method micks described. I've had more success the way micks described it. Its more specific and to the point. Little concerned now its got bids on it they may not pull it. He has edited the description but once someones bidding on it they are unlikely to go back and read that. Really it should be in the title so technically its still in breach of eBays code on replicas. They should still act and pull it.

Bad egg. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/263215758889

I'd forgotten about that sword. Yeah its a milled coin so condition is better. I've a couple of high Q Briots myself. I still think its fishy though , can't put my finger on it though. I think I've seen the seller with fakes before and thats why i initially thought it was a fake. Totally agree about the price as well, its high. Generally people selling fakes on eBay continue to do so repeatedly, least thats what I've observed. I wonder if it could be an electotype. Be worth adding him as a fav seller and monitoring what he's selling. Another identical one may appear.

I saw that when it was first listed. My thoughts where exactly the same. Its pristine. I've never seen a coin of that age looking so untouched by time. Its definitely suspect. Something is not right about it. Gut instinct is screaming no!

Really? Unbelievable that. You'd of thought they would pull it the amount of reports they must of had. I didn't get round to ringing pennywise. If it appears again i will. Did anybody email the guy telling him it was a copy?

The cost of slabbing that plus postage probably exceeds its value. I'd pay no more than £20-25 for that outside that holder. The mind boggles sometimes when i see some slabbed coins. It's not even a rare coin either.

As Rob says the company manufacturing them is not setting out to deceive. That little stamp or a symbol signifying its a replica has to be placed on it by law. I am trying to find out which company it is that makes them so i can get access to their stock catalogue. That should help us identify all of these replicas in the future.

I reported it yesterday when it relisted. It ended normally. Its a cast copy. One of those dodgy little heart ones we've all seen lots of. Usually lizzie sixpences or charles II half groats. If i get chance tommorow I'll ring pennywise and let him know. He may ring eBay to complain. He's not verified that.

Reported! Does anyone have any contact with pennywise in Bolton? He needs a look at this so he can contact the police. There's no way he's okayed that lump. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Charles-l-Civil-War-Hammered-Seige-Coin-/182746366285

What an idiot lol. ? . Look before you leap not one of his strong points ?

Some people eh!. Really wow , what a dick. Glad you got it sorted in the end. Wonder what his problem was? Sounds like a right weirdo.

It could of been if I'd of wanted too. It was in an airtight container. Didn't fancy it at the time.

I know. I had to put my reading glasses on to see that. Minuscule writing on my phone screen.

Nice half penny. I have a few of his pennys. As john says the internets not much use for scottish coinage, I've struggled in the past myself to find any information out about coins of Alexander III . Picture is from Spinks Coins of Scotland , Ireland and the Islands. Anglo Gallic coins 2015. Regards Stu.
