Surely this can't be right? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Unknown-Silver-Hammered-Coin-Siege-Sixpence-/202162280662?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=cyIk3RCFUkJQGtK0GeKStqTfe0A%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

It's not my area of expertise, but I can't believe this "unknown silver coin" is really a (Scarbrorough?) sixpence, More than one person believed in it to bid it up to £460 though...

Hi Coys55,

this item has been discussed elsewhere on this forum. It seems almost certain that it is not a genuine siege piece. If you look at Rob or Kal’s recent posts on the subject, you will find more info. I would be highly suspicious of any siege piece on EBay that does not come from a professional dealer (and, I’m afraid, most that do unless with provenance).
