It being one of the hardest to find of the series I thought fellow fans of early milled copper may be interested in seeing this. I rarely buy coins these days, and almost never from Ebay, but I'd noticed it listed at the weekend and, knowing how seldomly these are offered for sale, decided to have a pop. The coin came with the original owners ticket. Does anyone here know anything about Lord Waltham or the 1941 sale mentioned? You'll see too The Farthing Specialist (John Minshull?) had graded it in the 1970s as 'very good fine'. This seems a little generous these days, however, as my winning bid was only £31.01 (far below my maximum), I'm very happy with it. Apologies for the crappy photos. I don't have the iPad at the moment so have had to use my phone.

Actually wasn't as bad as I was expecting, I've shifted so much of my shabby stuff in order to get better ones that I only have this currently. although I'm sure I'm missing a shoe box full of other sets. Half P - 14 Penny - 24 Two Pence - 11 Five Pence - 17 Ten Pence - 49 Twenty Pence - 14 Fifty Pence - 73 One Pound - 25 Two Pound - 48 five pound - 5 20 pound 2 50 pound - 1 BU Sets - 7 Proof sets - 5

It looks suspicious to me. That extra bit of metal joining the leaf to the edge at 2-3 o'clock on the reverse is present on the fakes, isn't it?

That one is so bad its actually funny

Yes - it is the same fake style that someone was selling on Ebay a couple of weeks ago - he had half a dozen all with different tones, but all the same identifier feature. £8.75 each BIN. (His address was given as a hotel in Mayfair, but his name and Ebay ID was Chinese...)

awesome. its obverse 2
