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.

U have to see this

You plonkers -

someone's actually bought one 

What a TIT

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

His other items are equally as bad...

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!

[secret santa]

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.

[secret santa]

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 ?

Done

[jelida]

Likewise.

[secret santa]

Well done, boys.

[blakeyboy]

I told the seller I have a bagful, and I've offered to sell them for £20 each.....

[Peckris 2]

sent message

[secret santa]

Any response ?

[Paddy]

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

[jelida]

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.

Gone now.

[jelida]

Well this is a masterpiece of bullshit to misrepresent a common polished coin as desirable!
