When in hand you can see it's not silver and a lot of the details are rounded but it doesn't look like ware but it is a very deceptive copy

Bizarre. Would love for you to relist that shilling and not mention genuine. Then we could report it and watch them do nothing.

Have sold it on another forum but it would have been a good exercise with a blurry photo taken from the other side of the room.I guarantee it would have fooled everybody except it was 1 gram lighter than the real thing.

I will however Matty give you permission to use the photos if you want to have a go just for fun

Stevo, when ebay pulled it on you, did they contact / advise you as to the fact and why? (Just curious .... glad I'm not a cat ).
