    I agree with terrysoldpennies, it's an attempt at induced corrosion to mask the obvious differences normally evident in the repro 1933 pennies - the verdigris looks 'applied' especially on the obverse and if you study the kings head the differences seen on the repros are still evident. I've reported it. 

     

    The fake corrosion is obvious, which would suggest the story is as bogus as the coin. Reported.

    Didn't get a chance to look, and I'm out for the weekend (50 today), arghh!

    there's a chance the pics are mixed up??

     

    Happy birthday for yesterday Stuart. All the best.

    Fifty's quite a milestone, any nice prezzies?

    I think it may have ran until the allotted end time Stu (20:16 last night). I received one of those ebay last call reminders two hours before but decided not to bid after all :D.

    If it is listed for a third time we all could continue to report it.

    Good for you. Family first every time.

    Obviously, I'm a bit older. Before we moved to Cambridge for my wife's Phd Liverpool of the late 1970s/early 1980s was a fun time for me. Played in bands. Made some records.

    Here's me and Pete Burns LOL (I'm on the left, playing the Telecaster).

  5. I'm Toxteth, then Allerton, then Toxteth again ( the late 1970s crappy bedsit years). Dovecote? I have a couple of friends who are originally from the Pilch Lane area. Also, back in the mid '70s, I had a girlfriend who lived in Huyton. We would often spend our Saturday nights at the Hillside pub then at the Hoe Down club, which I think was in the basement? This was all pre punk of course, after that it was the city centre and Eric's, The Grapes, The Armadillo etc.
