Beeston1990 Valued Member United Kingdom 109 Posts	Posted 06/05/2014 6:30 pm I passed on a 25p trial at Â£500 wanting to do a bit more research.. Should have snapped it up as it later sold for Â£3000+! The conk looked a bit too faded for me to trust it on this occasion though. Sometimes coins can be tampered with to make them appear to be something they're not. I've seen a three pence ' brockage' on ebay recently for example which is merely just a coin that has been attacked. The obverse has been wiped away quite clearly by machinery.
