That was a really nice copy of that 1869 penny. Probably would have fooled me on pictures alone, although a bit too pristine looking. It would have been interesting to have had the weight and dimentions of it. I,ve bought from this seller before and to be fair he did have novelty written next to the main listing. I think there would have been a few buyers who  would have bought it for a filler for their collection. 
 
	As Stuart said, it makes you think twice about starting a new collection when there are coins of this calibre getting into the wrong hands.
 
	At least ebay seem to be listening to some of the complaints so we should keep it up. Although i noticed they still have not pulled this bunch of hammered coins.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Medieval-Hammered-Coins/122636948835?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649
