1949threepence Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 Trench art? It would have been better if a couple of 1913 pennies in near EF condition had been used. Not that expensive and far more convincing. link Quote

1949threepence Posted December 25, 2018 Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) This stamping of "votes for women" on pennies has turned into a bit of an industry. Edited December 25, 2018 by 1949threepence Quote

bagerap Posted December 29, 2018 Posted December 29, 2018 Probably gold but it looks like an Eastern jewellers copy. 1 Quote
Rob Posted December 29, 2018 Posted December 29, 2018 Given the condition, nobody would pay over melt for it, so surely the best result would be to cut out the eBay middleman and scrap it. Fees on eBay must be more than the discount to spot offered in many places. 1 Quote

Unwilling Numismatist Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 I certainly wouldn't touch it - although I get scared off of real ones really easily too! Quote
