Paddy Posted February 10, 2025 Posted February 10, 2025 I don't think it is a repro. Picture still has some of the Sovereign rarities border! Just a fraudster trying it on. Quote
The Bee Posted February 10, 2025 Posted February 10, 2025 The Ebay description was rather erm "odd" as well. "This is a British Victoria Penny coin from 1862, minted during the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901). It is a copper coin with a brown colour. The denomination of the coin is one Penny. It was manufactured in the United Kingdom, specifically Great Britain." Quote

The Bee Posted February 24, 2025 Posted February 24, 2025 The seller mentions the "This 1863 One Penny Coin features the young Bun Head of Queen Victoria, it has a feature that looks like the 8 over 1, it could be just a dye strike error but either way YOU won't find another 1863 error coin, minted in Great Britain under the Victorian era" Surprised that they didn't comment on the obverse picture 1863 VICTORIAN BUN HEAD ONE PENNY COIN SEE PICS B 173 | eBay Best Regards Quote

Sylvester Posted March 15, 2025 Posted March 15, 2025 The fakes on eBay are getting scarily good, certainly more convincing than they used to be. As it stands, that George IV is clearly fake, but it's not many more steps to being convincing. They're even doing toned and lower grade fakes now too! Quote

Paddy Posted May 28, 2025 Posted May 28, 2025 (edited) Good grief, what an appalling fake! Let alone the completely inaccurate description. Look at his feedback - 280,000 odd reviews and only 82% positive. You have to work hard to be that bad. PS, and in the feedback you will discover he is in China, which explains a lot. Edited May 28, 2025 by Paddy added PS 1 Quote
