I saw one of these coins from a member that left recently. Compared to that one, yours doesn't look quite right. Not saying it's fake for sure, but I have my doubts.

doesn't look good to me - it looks cast - foggy details, like I often see on circulating counterfeits.

I would like to get one of those circulating counterfeit pounds in the UK. I haven't seen one for sale the last time I looked. Well, just had to say it but don't want to hijack the thread.

Here is the coin I think it is.

I have to agree it doesn't look right. I think it's a cast copy.

If it is real, and I am only willing to venture an "if," then it looks like someone tried cleaning it with either lye or sulphuric acid. The dark spots look like corrosion. But that "O" looks a little suspect to me.
Personally, I wouldn't buy that with someone else's paypal account.
