Hi folks I thought I would put you wise as these coins were only noticed a few months back but had been circulating for over 20 years. The George III 1818 Half crown Small head type. There are die markers for these fakes. An indent just above the eyebrow like a pock mark. The reverse has two die breaks on the garter rim one above P and 1 above E of PENSE. These coins are extremely difficult to pick unless you know what to look for they have even fooled the auction houses.
There are 2 on sale on the bay £99 and £245 BIN. I contacted the sellers as I thought they were reputable dealers both Red premium sellers with 5 figure sales and 100% feedback rep.But it would seem
ebay protects anyone if they pay enough!!?. I left it 2 weeks and reported both items to
ebay. 2 weeks later the sales are both relisted so nothing was done by anyone concerned. Totally unacceptable in my book but there you go sign of the times I guess. Here is the fake coin you can actually find 1 on the bay selling as a copy coin for £9.99.
Be careful out there guys and gals
