Fake or ridiculous price?

Fake.  The little heart on the reverse left of the sheild shows its a replica. Fairly common one that we see a lot. 

Here's a few others from the same company in their packaging.

They are a pain in the arse at the moment. Starting to see more and more different types.  Think this is the company making them.

Different types of marks, or different types of fake coins? (newbie question, sorry!)

The biggest joke about this Elizabeth replica is that it's mostly called a sixpence! And I might be feeling a little bit unsympathetic tonight (OK, maybe a lot), but anyone that wants to buy an Elizabeth sixpence with that bust stamped upon what is a so-called sixpence coin, that looks like a plastic/pewter threepence, really needs to get their act together.

make sure your first £30-£50 spent on Elizabethan Coinage is on BCW's Elizabethan Silver Coinage book. Once you own and read this book, the pewter coins we see everyday on eBay will trouble you no more! :) 

WARNING - if you buy this book, you'll be hooked...enjoy!

Well done for finding this Stu - this is so detrimental as these menaces are cropping up time and time again. Unfortunately since they are being sold as replicas the company selling them is doing 'nothing' wrong - certainly in the blinkered eyes of eBay, but they will provide a steady source for the conmen to sell.
