They make replicas for museum gift shops etc and they always have WRL stamped on them. I messaged the seller to tell them exactly that. No response, and the listing stands. 1 Quote
wlewisiii Posted March 26 Posted March 26 Yup. Saw a seller the other day with a Rare! Silver! 1953 coronation crown for £669.66/$895. I told him in case it was innocent but it's still there. Quote
Coinery Posted March 26 Posted March 26 Could always point them here? https://www.easyliveauction.com/catalogue/lot/a536faa3e2db7ce00acac8b1a21a944e/0af8d24542e81eb9357e7ef448a6646f/day-2-coins-banknotes-tokens-medals-military-lot-232/ Quote
Coinery Posted March 26 Posted March 26 Having said that, they, themselves, appear to have little or no idea about whether it’s a novelty replica of a crown OR a shilling? 🤷♂️ Quote

I suspect others have offered their own ‘validations’. Jerry Quote

They could’ve at least narrowed it down to Third Coinage by the bust, that would’ve reduced the number count a bit…and maybe excluded Castle because of the reverse Lis? And PS I did get your email (thank you), will come back at ya tomorrow Edited Friday at 11:16 PM by Coinery Quote
Rob Posted 20 hours ago Posted 20 hours ago (edited) The name Ilya might be a known person on the other side of the pond, whose moniker was highqualitylowprice or something like that. That was an eastern European showman (Romanian?) who was a world renowned expert in numismatics apparently. Numismatic bullshittery maybe, but nowt else. The sort of guy who would offer a 1967 penny for a thousand dollars, but agree to sell it to you for a 99% discount - FYI, still a rip off. Someone from that side will know who I mean and perhaps post a link to a sale of his? Edited 20 hours ago by Rob Quote
