Ebay's Worst Offerings

Lol…a PM ‘Bell’ obverse Penny with what is clearly a coronet reverse. I truly hope it wasn’t the experts at the PAS that called this one?

I messaged him and said that it was "naughty" as such copies sell for a few pounds - must have tweaked his conscience.

I did too and got a very dismissive reply.

It might have been the fear of criticism or ridicule rather than conscience. 

I think he used to be a member of the forum and maybe still is but I have not seen him post anything the past year of so

Sad to see such vandalism. Might be it looks better if the black stuff can be removed.

Yes, I thought it a tad mushy looking too.

There are raised lumps and holes which I think are also characteristics of cast pieces.

I only have an image of a gold example, but I'm certain I wouldn't buy the 'silver' example listed. It's an in your face copy.

Not mine. I don't possess a single medal. Just had it in the image database, but given the dies are the same it clearly shows the ebay listing to be a cast copy. Reverse detail is sh*te.

It reminds me of the saying that "you don't need to be an expert if you can compare like with like".

The great coronation rip-off in full swing.. some joker wants £20,000 for the Charles 2022 50p (it's not even a proof!), and someone else £17,000-.. makes Coincraft look cheap!

What makes it worse is that it's a UK seller.
