Hi there everyone! A couple of questions regarding a 1934 Southern Rhodesia 6 Pence coin.

1. Are these two actions two different coins? The images look identical. The seller has >5200 feedback @100%

Auction 1: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1934-Southe...em51bde0d14c

Auction 2: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1934-Southe...em51b6b7efec

Is this legit?

2. Is this a fake/ counterfeit coin? If not, is the toning natural or artificial.

I am a complete noob, but I really love this coin and don't want to get ripped off.

Thanks in advance!

Yep! Same coin but one listing is an auction the other is a buy it now!

Would say an inexperienced seller but has over 5,000 feedbacks.

Trying to get an auction & BIN listing for nothing so has listed the coin twice.

Very reportable, seller has lost the plot! Yep big trouble!

This is at least the 4th time listed @ this open.
Others are head scratching also.

Here is the correspondence I had with the seller:

QUESTION:
Hi, This looks like a great coin. Why is it listed multiple times? One as an auction (starting bid of 49.00) and one as a buy it now (for 119.00). I want to bid, but am confused. Also can you verify if the toning is natural or artificial? I am pretty new to collecting. Thank you for your time!

RESPONSE:
Hi there! The coin is listed for full price at buy it now, and for sale at auction. The toning is natural and gorgeous - a terrific coin. Thanks!

RESOLUTION:
I sent a report to ebay via the link on the forum; apparently they did not like that and the seller has since ended the auction listing.
