I am glad to add my first 80 Lire coin to my collection. It has the weight equivalent weight of 4 x 20 Francs/Lire etc.
Unfortunately the 40 Lire is somehow thicker on the reverse, left side of the shield. The obverse is even and not thinner. Weight and dimensions are ok.
Anyone got a idea what the reason for this could be ? @Augur maybe ?
20 Lire Carlo Felice 1825 - 28k Mintage
20 Lire Carlo Felice 1827 - 150k Mintage
40 Lire Maria Luigia 1815 - 220k Mintage
80 Lire Carlo Felice 1826 - 76k Mintage

It's fine as long as paypal dont put a hold on withdrawals of high transactions or pull it back out of your bank account.

If I was selling a coin for £20,000 on ebay Id have that money withdrawn out of paypal to newly set up bank account and then transferred sharpish.
Any scam buyers would not be getting a refund.

No but when when the suspicious post was pointed out  it was worth checking other members from the same location.

The promise to pay what?
i promise to pay the bearer the sum of 5 pounds - what is £5? If i go to the BoE what will i get? What is this £5? The note is a promissory note - we know it was 5 sovereigns but that ended in 1931 so what is that now? £5 doesn't exist? - is it an entry in a ledger - a mark on a book or a screen? If i withdrew my £5 i would get another promissory note - so in practice £5 doesn't exist - it is a fraud from the outset. The promise disappeared in 1931.
Of course we are being robbed - it's called inflation. The purchasing power of the promise gets less and less. The value is heading to zero - it is theft by stelth and as i pointed out fraud from the outset.
