Would i be right in saying that this halfcrown that just sold on ebay, as well as not being Roman or a shilling, is in fact a fake? https://www.ebay.com/itm/154393540815

Can any of you guys advise me if this coin is real or fake please? Everything seems ok with it regarding weight and dimensions, but it has what looks like white stuff on it on the bottom of reverse. Thank you.

Hi Could this be a D over U in FD? Thank you.

I received this in a joblot. Weight 6 grams and 23.5mm dimension. What would cause this mark on it? Thank you.

Cheers guys, its a pity otherwise it's a nice enough coin.

Thanks again Rob

Another Queen Victoria query. Can anyone tell me how this would happen on the head side please? Gives her a look like her hair has escaped from her her hairband 🙄

Thanks guys, just that it looked a little unusual and always better to ask just in case.

Any idea if this is an E under G in REG on this 1864 Queen Victoria shilling? Thank you.

Heres an old penny with only three numbers showing in the date. Blocked die?

Thanks for your answers guys.

Hi guys. Whats your thoughts on this sixpence please? Is it the rarer upside down A variety and possibly M over L? Thank you.

What are your opinions on this sixpence please? Is it a RFX or REX? Thank you 👍

Can anyone tell me if its rare to have these mistakes on a half penny please? Looks like R/R in Victoria E/I in Reg ? P/I in penny.

This is my latest 1849 florin. She looks OK and is bang on weight and dimensions.

I see he is selling another of these 1884 Halfcrowns ozjohn He also has an 1856 florin and it doesn't look right. Thoughts? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Victoria-Silver-Gothic-Florin-Grade-EF/333470123996?_trkparms=aid=111001&algo=REC.SEED&ao=1&asc=20160908105057&meid=fcbaf88d756044c09c0dd79e15c32407&pid=100675&rk=2&rkt=12&sd=333465385020&itm=333470123996&pmt=0&noa=1&pg=2380057&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci:3e66496f-352e-11ea-a1ae-74dbd180426d|parentrq:99807ba816f0a4e9226e3131ff8a1c77|iid:1&redirect=mobile

I,m not too sure if his other coins are fake, the 3d doesn't look quite right. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Queen-Ann-Silver-Sixpence/143461503434?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144&redirect=mobile

Here's a guy selling multiple listings for fake kew gardens 50 pences. He has already sold a few at decent prices, granted he is not getting the full amount. I actually telephoned ebay yesterday who said they would pass it on to their fraud squad, yet nothing has been done. So obviously ebay condones the selling of fakes 😠 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-STUNNING-KEW-GARDENS-50p-COIN-BRILLIANT-UNCIRCULATED-MINT-CONDITION/293039146693?hash=item443a7e86c5:g:yPoAAOSwcT1coQXZ&redirect=mobile

Yes, they do look rather cheap and nasty, not something I would purchase either. Seems to be an upsurge in the sale of them. There must be a market for them but they look too new for my liking. 👍

Do these hammered coins look like they were minted yesterday? The seller has quite a few for sale. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HAMMERED-SILVER-MEDIEVAL-COIN/372630617715?redirect=mobile
