<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Neil UK, post: 2197104, member: 70963&quot;]So, I have an issue. And maybe one of you can help with it.</p><p>This 1695 &#039;Shillings&#039; has been listed to eBay recently (under shilling).</p><p>Problem is that a) I&#039;m pretty sure it&#039;s a crown, b) the obverse is not right - and c) the Irish&nbsp; (3rd) harp on the reverse was not used/designed until 1700 (reference: The Silver English Coinage From 1649, Seaby, 1968).</p><p>So, I emailed her and explained (in detail) that she might have a forgery on her hands, but she seems not to be an informed UK coin dealer. At all. And&nbsp; she is not &#039;doing the math&#039; on this.</p><p>Maybe ONE of you could independently confirm this and send her an email?</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think she is trying to defraud anyone (per se), I just don&#039;t think she knows anything about the coin she&#039;s trying to sell other than what is on the capsule.</p><p>Thanks.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, plus, she&#039;s threatened to sue me if I report her to eBay. Haha.</p><p><br /></p><p>It should be as easy as:</p><p>-The Irish harp design on your coin&#039;s reverse was not produced until 1700</p><p>-Your coin is dated 1695</p><p>-Time travel is not possible</p><p>-Your coin is inauthentic</p><p><br /></p><p>/Syllogism&#039;d</p><p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/3JiIZa7.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
