This one doesn't look right to me.

Nor me.  It lacks any crispness to the design and the legend, and the bodice lacks some details.  The wear doesn't look natural either.

Still ok for the forgery/copy reference section at 99p though

The description on the card is ambiguous. Difficult to say if it says pattern shilling nef, or pattern shilling not.

Ok, so it isn't a 1/2d, but as 'a gem for your collection' a snip at the opening price.

Good one.

'Here we have the extremely rare " 1673 Charles II Copper Half Penny " Metal detecting find in Suffolk. This a one highly collectible coin and very difficult to find in identifiable condition. A gem for your collection.'

No it's not; no it's not; cannot contest the assertion it was dug; no it's not; no it's not (if in identifiable coindition you have found it); no it's not.

Even if it doesn't sparkle on the numismatic front, it's a gem for this thread.

It's a thrower.

[scott]

so identifiable that it is a farthing.. worth less then a fiver.

Don't see many Halfpennies, so even that state... not worth the asking price

and people and their throwers... throw em my way.

 

[Rob]

Apparently the listing ended early because the item was lost or broken. We should be fairly confident that it wasn't lost through being stolen.

Careful Pete, I'm not sure it's a proof.

[secret santa]

Thanks Jon - it doesn't look like a proof with those teeth ! How come this seller has such a high feedback figure ?

[terrysoldpennies]

Above the the DG the outer line is doubled , I don't think a proof would look like that Terry

[secret santa]

Not to mention, there are no known proofs with this die pairing !

Just volume of sales by the looks.

[jelida]

'Unattributed' - the seller knows full well it has the WRL stamp, but is less than helpful !

Is there a particular place to post on CCF bagerap? I'm fed up reporting stuff to ebay for them to ignore it. 

[bagerap]

If you're a CCF member then you can use this:

Once you've done it once or twice, you get to know what info to cut 'n paste before you start.

I hadn't seen this post but had seen the Ebay auction for this. I sent the seller a message saying I could see a stamp and thought it was a WRL stamp next to the head on obverse. I got a message back saying I was a jobsworth and that it was just a dent.

Just a very specific dent.
