Thanks for sharing. There are more and more coming through nowadays, and it is always helpful to have them pointed out for familiarisation with the latest copies.  |

Now that frightens me!
Is the surface scratching on the front of the coin from being cleaned or is it more to make it look the real thing?

Thats the shady thing steve. ebay should allow counterfeits that are idenitified as such as not illegal items. |

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