Ah, the perils of copy / paste without checking! Though since he would have had to change the ENTIRE description, it makes you wonder why he bothered to copy / paste in the first place.

I could be wrong but I dont think bronze coins are supposed to turn this colour

The seller has a whole list of "Rainbow" toned coins...and is going to list more of them later on! What a waste!

Also if it is the Godless Florin it should be Spink 3891 and not Spink 4012?

I'm in no doubt the seller is genuine and the pictured coin is what you will receive but a couple of typos in the description. Nice coin though.

Somebody really is having a laugh with this offering.

But.. but.. but.. surely we are not supposed to clean coins?

[Gary D 76]

Another interesting offering, I say interesting as this coin has worn one side more than the other. Must be a poor mix in the alloy

Error coin

A thousand dollars for someone slicing two Edward halfpennies in two and splicing them together?

[Peter 615]

What a scam...however if you risked buying all 40 inc £3 postage for every one you would get the 20 undated at £30 a pop.

Somehow it smells of a future dispute.

The grade looks about right at extremely poor....why do these people bother?

£229 for a recent fantasy pattern??!!!!??

The bullshit the seller spouts about "auction house" leaves him wide open to prosecution for dishonesty offences.

Greed and ignorance are bad bed fellows!

[TomGoodheart 400]

Ooh L@@K! A pair of those very rare Charles Darwin £2 coins! Only £70 (or offer).

Of course, they are only rare because every bloody single one of them is stuck (unsold) on ebay!

[Peckris 579]

Good God. I notice he isn't showing the reverse. Well even if it WAS the 2mm variety, I wouldn't pay £29.99 for it in that condition.

He's pretty optimistic considering that there's a group of three of them going for £5!!!
