Royal Mint Silver Proof Sovereign - on Ebay - Where Else?

2019 Gibraltar silver coin, St. George and dragon reverse.

Typically marketed and sold by The London Mint Office, for about £49.95

This stupid or crooked ebay seller is advertising as a Royal Mint product:

Collector’s Boxed Limited Edition Uncirculated 2019 Proof Full Silver Sovereign

Seller: santoor-uk 

Only £250!

and I thought LMO were bad!

I got one of these coins for a tenner, and for that price it is very nice indeed!

Yes, LMO also offered BU ones for £9.95 or thereabouts.

Mine is bizarrely encapsulated in Change Checker packaging which gives the wrong weight and diameter. It is definitely silver though, and it also has some milkspots as extra proof!

Amazing!

How can numismatic experts get this stuff so wrong?

I'm not sure it's their fault on this occasion. I didn't buy it directly from them, and they sell the empty packaging to the public: https://www.westminstercollection.com/p-991F/Change-Checker-Plus-Round-1-Pound-Collecting-Page.aspx

Next thing, there will be silver plated £1 coin on ebay!

... if there aren't already, that is!

i reported it. Over time it has become harder and harder to report anything - there are a handful of options and i don't think they offer the option to report this false claim and infringement on Royal Mint trademark copyright. Ebay doesn't care. They just want the fees.
