Clumsiest example I've ever seen.
Couldn't even be bothered to match the portraits.

Nose job ("I'll have 'The Pixie' please.") and false lashes.

You would think, by now, he'd at least know what a dump farthing looks like.

…and a new listing from the same seller.

As already stated, a normal 63 with grot on the last digit.
Here for comparison: normal/the 3 with grot/the 3 with grot erased.

I thought I might dip in to see if Buckscoins gradings had improved during the past week or two.
I didn't yet get past the first listing.
aEF? Dear me.

£11,000? What a lightweight…..
I love that this div is offering £1.50 P&P on a 56 grand listing.

I just love this. Good old Iris.
If you're in need of cheering up the seller's other offerings are worth a squint too:
Oh, and check out the top item in seller feedback. Clearly bollocks, but is this kind of lying also illegal?

What's this price guide she's using?
If her 1887s are 'sitting' at these valuations then lord knows what everything else must be valued at. We all must be holding riches beyond our wildest imaginings...
First thing tomorrow morning I shall swap my inverted 1 1820 sixpence for a winged unicorn (unipegasus?), just because I can afford to, then flutter about showering the hoi polloi with the beneficence which would be my half-chewed Greggs vegan sausage rolls. Er, no rubbish mind, we're talking king size here. Make sure you're up and out early...

My grade is vf+.. 483.347 mintedThis is for a Victoria 1887 jubilee head silver half crown this is a stunner
My grade EF PLUS TO UNC

An absolute asset to a fantastic collection this is what collectors call a gem one you really don't want to miss... the coin is in fabulous condition
Almost unc but thats my view so please view yourself

1, 438.046 mintedI like this from the 1887 crown description too:
THIS IS AN AUCTION SO WHO WILL START ME
IF THERE IS TONE ON MY COINS THEN THE TONE YOU SEE ON MY COINS IS THE TONE THAT IT ISWhere's Alan Turing when you need him?

Collecting these is my thing and finding the errors is great fun. Could be but, as you and Chris both say, the jury is out until another/better specimen turns up.
Something I would draw your attention to though is the upright bar of both the disputed first L and that of the second. Compare these with that of the E, which is much thicker. If the first L was an E wouldn't the uprights be similar? Obviously, a blocked die might account for the difference, but it is something worth considering.
Either way, on the visual evidence as it stands, were you to describe it as 'GIVEIELMVS' I don't think anyone would object.

And still buyers don't question why all her silver, regardless of origin, age, condition, has the same artificial appearance.
Some of those which have really been gone to town on are absolutely horrible.

If told this was a Marlybob grading I would have believed it.

Seeing these listings I'm wondering if someone else is grading at the moment?
They're usually pretty accurate.

She.
...may be the face I can't forget
The trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
She may be the song that summer sings
Maybe the chill that autumn brings
Maybe a hundred different things
Within the measure of a dayShe may be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a Heaven or a Hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
A smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem

Not old and not "mixed continents" either...would be a welcome addition to my tourist fake collection if the vendor would budge on price a little...
That rounded edge; lovely.
No idea what it is and so looking for information on it, however, in the meantime, would anyone like to buy it for £10,000?
The lunatics have taken over the asylum.
