Hi amanda1, welcome to the forum. Can I assume that since this is your first post, you are in some way connected with the company selling the above microscope and looking to boost sales? It looks very much like the one I have, which is a generic model available from a number of different manufacturers at less than half the cost of the one you are advertising. On top of that, I would be unable to recommend it to someone looking to purchase one. It is adequate, but that's about it. I'm sure there must be much better models out there. Please accept my apologies if I have misinterpreted your post.

Reported. And the others..

No, that's a millipede

good idea but they we get the grey area of "oh i selected the wrong box" . Hard to prove but very easy to exploit to a certain degree . Habitual misuse would raise red flags but damage is done by then but I guess we need to start somewhere

It seems to me that Ebay should implement a setting in the process for listing coins, probably alongside the "condition" box where, for single coin listings, the seller has to click either "Genuine" or "Copy" - not able to proceed until one or other has been selected. Then, if they have clicked genuine and it is not, they are in clear breach of trading standards. It takes away the opportunity for sellers to say nothing and allow buyers to assume it is genuine.

How about this one from the same seller: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Britannia-Standing-EDWARDVS-VII-Silver-One-Florin-Two-Shillings-Multiple-Years/332576065041?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D49920%26meid%3D2198b496af79486b9dc4e76b3d174946%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D332576084591%26itm%3D332576065041&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851 OK - the buy it now price at £6.50 should tell you it is a copy, but she should still explicitly say so.

IMO fake coin a very bad one at that. However it is being offered as genuine not as a replica which amounts to attempted fraud not just offering replica coins not marked as such.. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Four-Crowned-Cruciform-George-V-1927-1932-Silver-One-Florin/332576084591?hash=item4d6f14526f:m:mjXuwM1S3W4Faab219HUXCQ

So a centipede is 1 year of the total time Jimmy Savile should have spent in jail?

Thanks all, in the end I tried just soap and water and it’s come away beautifully!
