I can't seem to find one listed anywhere...spink, freeman, peck? Am I missing a few pages?

No, just a few grey cells. The reverse changed to the ship in 1937 for Edward VIII onwards and G5 died in 1936 which was the last year of the Britannia reverses. Could be a 1931 with the last digit changed to a 7? Or a 1927 modified to a 37? Got a picture or a link as it's obviously not right?

I'm possibly missing something, but the last ones were minted in 1936 ... weren't they??

Yep

As Rob says it would be a clever post mint mod of an earlier coin.

but the wrong kings head

That's a 1927 not 1937.

The seller's obviously had "2 or 3"

You knew it was 1927 all the time, didn't you Stuart ?

Just joshing with us to see who was on the ball........

I have to confess I was on the ayePhone again, and couldn't actually make out the numerals! I did go to the trouble of opening up Freeman & Peck with beating heart, wondering whether I'd missed some massive mint error or something! Whoops!

Did you also buy it Stuart ?

Reminds me of the time my blood pressure rose to feverish heights when a seller on eBay had a 1928 penny with the larger portrait of 1927. I was all poised to bid a silly price when I just happened to notice he also had a 1927 penny with the smaller portrait. Blood pressure dip, loud sigh, finger off the trigger...
