xxmarkabyx Valued Member United States 80 Posts	Posted 04/18/2018 11:01 am Hello all, I'm interested in collecting one of these pieces, and was wondering if anyone has an opinion on this coin listed on ebay. I don't see any particular problems with it regarding authenticity. Does anyone disagree? I appreciate any input https://www.ebay.com/itm/Charles-I-...a564%7Ciid:1 Report this Post to the Staff

PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 04/18/2018 11:37 am I don't have any specific knowledge about these but two comments: 1. What is it doing in Poland? 2. These used to be very rare, but recently there are an awful lot of them around. No hoard has been reported, so where are they all coming from? Personally I wouldn't touch these on ebay, and I would even be suspicious of a coin dealer with one unless he has been handling these for years. Report this Post to the Staff
xxmarkabyx Valued Member United States 80 Posts	Posted 04/18/2018 12:30 pm Thanks for the input! I don't worry so much about the first concern.. coins can easily move around the globe. I do understand your second point, that's what's definitely holding me up. I'm pretty familiar with Charles I pieces, but not with these siege coins... I'm going to have to do quite a bit of homework. Great pieces! Report this Post to the Staff
Tom Goodheart Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 856 Posts	Posted 04/22/2018 12:53 pm The seller's attitude ("If for any reason you feel like you may be unhappy with buying this coin or feel like you might complain after receiving it please refrain from bidding.") and the dodgy look of the shilling he's selling make me doubt its authenticity.

Remember these were knocked up with a pair of snips and IMO the easiest coin to counterfeit. The nr of these turning up today is totally wrong. Report this Post to the Staff
