Their big mistake is selling several all at the same time, one of which, as Kman pointed out, is a joke coin!

Yes, too many rare coins in perfect condition

There's also another account with a very similar name selling "loft find" coins

Most of them are comical but i must say  the 1887 double sovereign looks well

This one has made the mistake of selling them as a 'gold coin run' - if they are not gold on receipt you are well within your rights to return it, despite what the rest of the listing says no?

That's quite a serious scam operation.

I'm sure you'd find something wrong with them all if you looked closely enough. The question is whether there are good enough reference pictures readily available for all the many coins they're selling. Some of the older coins are more difficult and less well known than sovereigns. if the metal was right and they weren't so obviously new........

there are already fakes within the "establishment" for some coins. Once a few dealers are fooled, they get passed on to unsuspecting customers and enter the food chain.

£625 for the three fakes.  That's crazy if it wasn't shill bidding.

[sovereignsteve]

An absolute bargain, if they're genuine!

Maybe they'll somehow send them back and get a refund via ebay guarantee?

[Kman]

They're back at it

I prefer to check coins before i buy them, somewhere at the local dealer's with a pm verifier, which after my 3 gold and silver fake items became my best friend for good
