Please see the photos and give your opinion. Thinking  to buy it. But some photos in internet seemed different.   |

Can't quite tell it from the photos but it seems a little bit cast-like. It can be a very well collector' copy, have to compare the weight, etc.
From what I see, I can't be quite sure however, unless I know who I am buying very well, I'd be cautious.

I'm not an expert on this series but the coin looks fine to me.

Personally I don't like the trident. It's supposed to come all the way to the denticles. It's a bit lower on farthings, but still not that low. I'd be cautious about this coin.

Compare:  There's no known varieties in 1827. Mynt123, stay away from that coin! |

It certainly appears VERY different to what I could see on Tony Claytons' site. I wouldn't buy it!

This coin looks like a forged copy of the real one. It looks pretty much replica to my eye due to the lack of details of the design. It looks more forged than minted.

The design looks legit to me, below's a picture to compare. Of course, this would have to be a farthing, weight 4.5 - 4.8 grams, diameter 22 mm.,coin alignment (although proofs in 1822 had medal alignment).  |

There is that intangible "wrongness" about this coin, which may only be resolved with the coin in hand. But there is definitely something wrong with the upper part of the trident.

Comparing it to a 1922 makes me a bit reluctant to comment, put the following in your browser & compare the 2. I'm not too happy about yours, it appears to lack a lot of the details, and yet doesn't appear to be so worn. I'm undecided on this one. http://www.ukcoinpics.co.uk/g4/fa/fa23I.jpglife is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

I have to agree with alganbagerap,the head of the trident doesn't look right,and the lion at the ladies feet looks a bit odd as well.
