You could not make this up.

£29.95 for a mousemat?!

[HistoricCoinage 146]

At least he's got a lovely overdate for Stuart.

[Rob 3,152]

I can't see any trace of a 7

LIS & Lions say no!

It would be a major variety find too, if it WAS an overdate, as the 8/7 coins are only known with an inverted 8, and C*C*'s is correctly orientated!

I do wonder where he imagined a 7 in the first place?

Hence the post in eBay laughs.

My mistake £22 cheaper.

[davidrj 194]

not a great fan of altered/engraved coins - got to admire the skill on this one

LOL - I couldn't even see what it was meant to be, until I translated the French! Yes, very good.

Found this out walking apparently, knows bugger all about coins but did manage to put it into the correct catagory. 171179660428

Presumably was able to outwit the guards and escape from the local asylum?

There are some damned clever coins around. A few months ago we had one taking a dog for a walk.

[Peckris 579]

Ah, the good old "found while out walking" ploy! Conjoined with a "don't no anything about it" - that always gets the enthusiastic semi-informed bargain hunter's pulse racing, as I'm sure the seller knows perfectly well..

[Peter 615]

Own up.

Who emailed the seller?

I got in trouble for doing the same a while back.

[HistoricCoinage 146]

Not me.

But wasn't that issue due to sending the buyer an email rather than the seller?

You are right.
