On the other hand if Womble 01 is prepared to make an offer to buy based on a retail value of £690 I would bite his hand off, and use the money to buy a couple of better ones.

Nah, it's ok. Who would fake that?
I think it's just a combination of deceptive photography, probable cleaning and blatant lies about the grade.
Apart from that it's great.
To be honest im more of a copper lover than silver, i think it gives a coin more personality i recently picked up the little cracker patina beauty spot to boot.
