No way!

Your right!

[Mrpound]

It’s mine

[Mrpound]

I’ve got a reply apparently it’s from London mint 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

There is too much negativity here, as the description says this an ultra rear proof 1841 gold sovereign. Due to being so rear you can see the lowe starting price and make offers. Is Thay the name of the person to source these fakes from ?

[BackyardBullion]

The good news is that the person that won the auction last time evidently didn't pay up and/or was a forum member stepping in to save the day.

Report this item please as well.

Or perhaps this person has many more of them..as I said before there is a person on ebay selling these for around £3.50 and seems to have quite a few on their (SELLERS OTHER ITEMS) list.... also they have decent feedback...which is curious maybe someone is buying them and trying to push them off as genuine...but you would have to come from a different planet if you think these are real😆😆😆 but one thing I've learnt in life there are some idiots out there and nothing surprises me anymore. Still don't like to see people getting ripped off even if they are complete Numptys🤪🤪🤪

Reported as prohibited item 

[CollectorNo1]

I reported the day I saw it being advertisedon Ebay...trouble is there are many more coins...I've attached some photos..obviously no one on here is going to fall for them but maybe if you know some newbies who are just starting out you can give them the heads up...the person selling them are describing the majority of them as gold plated re-strikes and I'm not including their name as technically they are not doing anything wrong..its the individual who may have bought a few and is now trying to pass them off as originals who is the criminal....

[dicker]

Reported.  Thanks

[pricha]

I've reported it as a symbol of Britain's evil colonial past, it glorifies oppression and slavery and as a University professor  i am highly insulted . Expect it to be gone in less than 5 minutes 🤣

Jolly good show ole chap🇬🇧

It doesn't matter that it's fake if there's money laundering going on. A way of making shady money look legit. Someone wants a grand to be traced to a sale. "I sold this sov' guv'nor, that's where the money came from, honest".

I've also reported it.

This time he is a bit confused as he titles it up as a full sovereign and then later in the listing he says it is a "half gold sovereign 1841."

Looking at the previous listing it says: 

Bidding has ended on this item. The seller has relisted this item or one like this

Let's face it..this seller has a few bats flying around his belfry, and a sandwich short of a picnic if he/she thinks they are going to make bundles of cash with these round objects....."can't call them sovreigns (Naturally) - they are going to be a tad disappointed. "🤣🤣🤣 .....It is one of the funniest things I've seen..just hoping no one really takes these coins seriously and gets their ass burned 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This criminal stole £455 in the first sale shown here. The current listing is a new sale - another fake 'coin', it says in the sold listing "Bidding has ended on this item. The seller has relisted this item or one like this"

Or one like this b/c it is a new listing of another worthless copy. The previous one sold. He will keep listing these and making bundles of cash.

Just reported this seller. I don’t know how people can do this. People work hard for their money. These sellers have no shame. 

[Relm]

I was taken in by a scammer on ebay when I first started.  They weren't as blatant as this so I have little empathy for the scum who pull this sort of thing or those that defend them with "people should know better" etc

[CollectorNo1]

😡😡😡😡it's 50/50 the seller of these c**p,worthless coins has about 15 of these that they are selling...but its the buyer/buyers that are buying them and selling them as originals..they are both to blame and its only my moral belief that cannot name and shame the original seller but if this keeps up I will..I've contacted the seller asking them to delete these fake coins but so far I'm being ignored......😠😠😠😠😠

Perhaps he thinks it's 50% gold! 🙂

Success?

The item has disappeared....

I have an addiction for scouring ebay junk lots for numismatic bargains and i've noticed a lot of these fakes are making their way into these and bumping up the price realised of those too.

To be fair we are not talking a few quid here . We are not defending anyone. But if someone wants to spend hundreds of pounds on a coin then surely they would do some research first  ? I think someone with zero knowledge of Sovereigns could work out this is a dreadful fake within minutes. More than likely people get greedy , see a £15000 for £400 and think they are so smart they'll have that. That's not to say there are some really good fakes out there, but this is just comical .
