Coin#addict Posted December 17, 2021 Posted December 17, 2021 Hi Can anyone tell me if this shilling is genuine please? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1763-Shilling-NORTHUMBERLAND-Rare-/255282737633?mkcid=16&_trksid=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0&redirect=mobile 1 Quote
jelida Posted December 17, 2021 Posted December 17, 2021 Very soft detail, suspicious colouration and the vendor clearly thinks it’s iffy “NO RETURNS ACCEPTED,SOLD AS PER PICTURES”. I certainly won’t be bidding. Jerry 1 1 Quote

Peckris 2 Posted December 17, 2021 Posted December 17, 2021 Pewter-and-black is a sure colour mixture for a repro / fake. 1 Quote

blakeyboy Posted December 18, 2021 Posted December 18, 2021 I know nothing whatsoever about this type of coin. BUT It's just looks wrong to me too- the colour- two tone -one wrong light coloured alloy treated in some way, with the dark bits all perfectly uniformly coloured. Nope- looks recently made -a 20 minute patina applied in a factory, rather than 250 years of hanging around in the back of a drawer.... 1 1 Quote
