    It seems that it's socially unacceptable to laugh out loud in Hawaii, so just stick to a low Ha.

    Probably as a he "cancelled all bids" before ending the item. Maybe the earlier cancellation of the high bid was after the bidder requested a cancellation after realising it was a dud, and that triggered (eventually) his ending of the item.

    Sorry to disappoint, Paddy, but this can't be an 1846. It is the wrong combination of obverse and reverse - looks like Davies 3+B, and you need 1+A for it to be 1846. I guess it is actually 1876 with a buggered 7. Another date to add to your list, sadly, and increasingly like mine!! 🙁

    Only one question. Why did someone go to the trouble of plugging it?

    He has relisted it, currently with an opening bid of £1, and no mention of die 3

    If so, the buyer will be in for a severe disappointment. Always best to compare with a verified example of the real thing before you commit yourself to buy anything with a degree of uncertainty attached to it.

    Although the price is a bit of a giveaway. If it were truly an 1863 die no 3 under date in that higher grade condition, it would already be a lot higher as more experienced collectors realised what it was. In auction it would almost certainly go for probably > £6k, as it would easily be the best of the very small cohort.

    Just to confirm it's not genuine, it doesn't have the die flaw by the O of ONE.

    Now £255, with eight days still to run. People are mental.

    This shows how challenging a nice collecton of silver threepence coins from Victorias reign can be - not for the faint hearted

    I don't think so...I think it's just a surface lamination or even a gouge...it's so totally unconvincing it's hard to imagine anyone considering a successful "doctoring" ! The "3" is not even in the right place. But the price is shocking; let's hope it's the vendor bidding against himself (he can do that without scrutiny because it's a private listing sadly).

    Even London Coins have a fairly decent picture of a die number 3. Looks nothing like the one on ebay, unsurprisingly.

    I've temporarily added this to my rare penny site as a "non-example" just in case someone looks on there but I guess the people who are bidding on this coin are probably not aware of the site.

    Ah, I have managed to get back to my photos and now know why I didn't really want to share this one! Even "fair" is a gross over-grading, and the identification as an 1846 is close to guess work! Here we go anyway - don't laugh!
