Near as I can tell from the image, it is NOT an F-164A

F.165 I make it. Streets ahead of mine though.

yes, mistyping on my part

F164A in any condition is still on my want list, as is F169

I make it F165 too. Have been looking for a decent one and missed it. Well done!

Not so much a laugh, but how on earth has this 1860 penny 3+D (as far as I can see from the rather low res pics) reached £550 with 15 hours to go? Am I missing something?

Looks like 2+D, N over sideways N (Z)... barely visible but the die crack by the date is a giveaway. Not quite as rare as people make out but a nice example and price probably about right...

I agree, N over Z, the other clue if you look carefully is the re-entered O in ONE, the two always seem to go together (Gouby 1860 JA). Mine has the same die crack also

There's another (low grade) one here if anyone needs an example, once seen they are very easy to spot

Some attempts at creating a 1933 penny are more successful than others

At least she's not said dated 1933... I wonder if they chose a '66 for any particular reason?!

Two '33s for the price of one?

Typical... Hiding your dirty deeds behind an anonymous eBay pseudonym ;);)

Actually I really need a BU 1953. Mine is full lustre but an awful strike and I made a mental note to upgrade it ages ago. If you find a perfect one (currency, not proof), I'll buy it!

I think that was a typo as further down it says that the whole set is £29.

Yeah, it also says £1.25 each. But don't the royal mint have these at face price ?. Oh no, £45 the set ( silver of course ), ebay looks cheap now.... :lol:

Forget that too, that £45 is for 2 coins only !!. Don't they do the "normal joe bloggs unc non silver" sets ?.

It actually says £23 for 16 coins

Not so much a laugh as an interesting curiosity. A counterfeit shilling. Now I don't normally recommend these, however this is as far as I can tell, not a modern concoction, but a contemporary (ie 17th century) coin. The design is surprisingly good (I do wonder if ex-mint employees might not have turned their hands to making counterfeits in the war years) though the silver wash is thin and the base metal shows through, it's an interesting piece of numismatic history.

Personally I think at £80 it's a bit over priced, but these things are actually very rare. And this is a nice example and not a design I've seen elsewhere.

Counterfeit Charles I shilling
