Easy mistake to make though - those early toothed obverses look quite like beaded ones.

I’m far from convinced that in Lukasz’s case it is actually a mistake........

There are a lot of farthings that have been certified by PCGS and NGC, as mules, that are not really mules...in fact they look just like the example shown here, but are slabbed as mules. This type of a mistake does not happen with Half Pennies, and Pennies, but is seen, once in a while, in the farthings.

Though it does look like a reasonable F15.

It is an F15 Jerry you can clearly see the signature under the bust making it an obverse 4 and the reverse D has the longer teeth which do have a similar look to beads in some photographs.

It might be a TB/BB mule if you send it to PCGS. Those of us a bit longer in the tooth on this forum will remember they have past form with this attribution.

Indeed we do....

Not for anyone with a reasonable level of experience, such as Lukasz. He would be able to see in an instant, just as we can, that it wasn't a mule.

Never let the truth get in the way of a lucrative sale! 

I just feel sorry for the buyer.

Let's just hope that the buyer has enough common sense to realise that if it was the mule, it would by now be in 4 figures and rising.

Don't you mean a Lukaszative sale

Indeed. It's actually a nice coin in itself.

This seems a very high price for a load of scrap.

Nothing wrong with them, just in that condition they are effectively scrap silver. Scrap on 200g of 50% silver is less than £40, so £65 for them is steep.

 Hell's bells! Wonders will never cease! 

Although the cynic in me might think that he was worried it might not make mule price....

I have reported this same coin 4 times now over a 12 month period on 4 different listing. Fake Gold Double Eagle

Here he is again, same story its his grandpa's coin. I guess the good news is he is paying listing fees each time.

Careful. We have a very respected forum member who is "Dave G". Suggest you find another name for this one to avoid confusion?

I wasn't implying anything by mentioning him. What i meant is it looks like one of his strikes or a coin he's made (Dave G - Grunal Moneta). 

The ebay sellers the crook! (Whita natal)
