  • Rare 1p Coin Set: Three monarchs, three eras-these copper coins, minted in 1936, 1945 and 1967, bear the weight of time. Yours for £2150.00

Wow. 1p coins dated 1936, 1945, and 1967??

1902 Proof Silver Half Crown Coin Edward VII | eBay

One of the worst fakes I have seen

I think it is a "fantasy" coin. The legends are completely different to the real thing and so the maker never intended it to be a fake. But anything can happen if someone can see "1902" when "1905" is shown.

Does not even have the right date it says 1905 on the obverse - takes a lot to get the date wrong on a coin

It doesn't if it's clearly a fantasy coin, not intended to replicate the real thing.

There is a penny on Ebay claiming to be a 1922 F192A

Somebody else now trying to jump on that bandwagon, though suspect this one is just total ignorance rather than fraud.

I particularly like the "obtuse" reference!!

Very obtuse - he mentions the "1927 obverse" not reverse!

I messaged him to say that it was not the 1927 reverse and to mention the confusion of obverse and obtuse - he then changed the description to the "rare 1927 obverse". I then messaged him to say that it was not the 1927 obverse (M.E.) but he has not replied. Fortunately, no-one has been daft enough to bid on it.

I have messaged him several times telling him that this coin is not unique or rare but he ignores me and persists to fraudulently advertise it on Ebay.

Maybe a few more messages from other collectors might convince him ?

No response here, and the item is still listed unaltered.

Nothing here. ☹️. Perhaps unsurprisingly .  Idiot or fraudster? Likely both in this case.

Well that's a new way of executing the con! A screen shot of a genuine coin accompanied by two pictures of a low grade copy.
