Well here is an interesting listing....As I understand it the Countermarks on the coin date to the 1920s......However the base coin is a Brussels/Birmingham mint strike dating to the period 1937- 1957. Perhaps the major error claim is more appropriate than the seller realizes!

Btw the pricing is extremely optimistic

These are modern fake counterstamps. The counterfeiters don't have the necessary knowledge of MTTs to get the right host coin, or, more likely, they don't care because they count on the buyers not being well informed (i.e., they know they will never be able to sell this product to an expert anyway, so why bother with the host coin)
