I eBay messaged her for the width. Turns out it is 38.6mm. That is one big shilling and more crown sized.
Why keep harping about it? If I'm that uncertain about a coin, I stay away from it. Specially on Scam Bay.
Here is my 1696 crown.Although well worn, the reverse design is still clear and doesnt match the Op's reverse.
Most likely listed in China and using a UK address. Seen this before. Seller's Description: "1695 England Shillings Coin I bought this coin from a collector's auction. I have checked it and compared for its authenticity, and based on my limited knowledge it is authentic. However, Since I am not expert, please do your own due diligence, I can provide you more photos and any other questions you might have, however, I will not accept return after the sales. I am selling this coin almost to what I bought since it is not the type of coins I usually buy and sell. So please make sure you have the read the listing carefully. THE COIN COMESIN THE CAPSULE"
Lol that mistaken harp is a lucky fault that the counterfeiter overlooked. If only we can always be this lucky. Anyhow, seller appears to specialize in modern replicas, fantasy pieces and fakes. Not much, if anything, genuine in their current and completed items.
If there are any doubts that this one is real, there shouldn't be any for this one from that same seller: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1836-Russia...851?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1a0308b873

It looks like you guys succeeded in persuading the seller. I note the offer on ebay has been pulled "because of an error in the listing".
