TomGoodheart Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 It's a close call, but could this be overgraded by any chance? Even allowing for eBay.A typo I think. He meant to write junc (He can't spell either!) Quote
Peckris Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Hahahaha, i love his description of value:She's a seller after your own heart Dave - "I have to of these" I sent her a message saying it's what "we in the trade call a washer" and that even her starting price of 99p overvalues it Quote

It may just be the angle of the photograph but, if you look at the reverse beads at 2 O'Clock and 12 O'clock, there appears to be quite a significant variation in gap between them and the rim? The photo looks straight-on enough that I wouldn't expect it to be quite so much of an illusion? Who knows? Quote

Coinery Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Anyone else think this looks like a (rather poor, probably pewter-like white metal) cast?150912385037No shadow of a doubt in my mind!And doing very nicely at £45 so far with 12hrs to go! Quote

DaveG38 Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) Seems someone is trying to solve the Greek debt crisis - shipping is free!LinkIt would be quite fun to 'buy' it on ebay and then fail to pay, leaving the seller with a bill of 10% i.e. £152,100 for the ebay fees. Now that would be adding to the Greek debt crisis!! Joking aside (am I?), it looks to me as if this is either a counterfeit (the Jubilee head looks a bit rough) or this is a marriage of a hollowed out Jubilee head coin with an inserted George V 1918 reverse - looks like the India mintmark to me. Can I see a rather sharp looking line around the inner rim on the reverse?Taking a second look at the close up, there seems to be some white metal showing through in places, which possibly means its a fake, maybe like the ones I found a few years ago, which I reckon were made from depleted Uranium to give the correct weight.
