The 1839 "Una and the Lion" £5 coin is one of the rarest and most sought-after British gold coins

It's amazing that this person who mainly sells motorcycle parts has one of the only 400 of these that were minted.
Oh wait, here's another one but it's $16K (from a seller with 2 feedbacks): 226825931251
But something seems not quite right about it, although I can't figure out exactly what it is.

The details on the portrait of Una are actually more realistic on the 'COPY' than on vickisam's coin - just compare her left arm .

Could be a blanket, or perhaps flannel pajama pants...

Had a response from ebay - their robot thinks that it's not a violation of their policy to sell fake gold coins!

I also reported it, specifically pointing out that it had the word COPY on it.

I'm not going to waste my time reporting any other listings.

Lol, 280 dollars for an environmentally damaged quarter?! The 0 feedback says it all too.
