There also appears to be the absence of the reflection indentation in the wave immediately above the wavy crest.

Does this (see https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/235861361137) very recent eBay (Dec. 2024) posting of a wavy look fishy to anyone? Frank

PCGS gave it an AU55 (see https://www.pcgs.com/cert/50742088). I also got an AU53 this earlier groat https://www.pcgs.com/cert/50742089. I might get the other Henry viii groat (see photos) graded next year.

Thanks, Sally, but the other two coins actually look real, whereas the listed mule coin are just photos lifted from the Numista website

Just to alert collectors to be wary of this listing https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/204975322351 posted on eBay at the start of Sept (2024). Seller eventually did send a photo of the reverse (see attached photo). Looks a bit like the coin pictured here https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces128492.html

I definitely wouldn't buy this coin https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/204975322351, listed on eBay at the start of Sept (2024). Looks a bit like the coin pictured here https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces128492.html

Would somebody in the Coin Community be able to provide some kind of grade and value to the pictured Elizabeth I shilling, as well as to identify its type? Frank

I've done some research on this coin, but didn't know it was up for auction last October here in Australia. It's being offered by Status International for a little over AU$8000. They rate it as gVF. I too was intrigued about the dentil arc being raised and contracted as it is. Frank

I paid 400 GPB's [about US$525] for it. It's not a unreasonable price, though I wish I got it for more of a bargain price as I got my Elizabeth I sixpence (earlier thread) for.

How does one post to the Ancients/Medieval subforum or, for that matter, the UK subforum? I don't find it straightforward to make a simple post on any CoinCommunity Forum.

I have a reasonable, at least in my estimation, Elizabeth I (1592-1595) shilling with Tun mint mark that I could let go.

How can one check for authenticity, save weighing the thing? The UK eBay seller (has been an eBay member since March 2006 and has 100% positive feedback) said he unearthed it with his metal detector.

One could argue this PR66 proof coin https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Austral...cectupt=true is only a AU55 or AU58 given the apparent wear on it - worn star above the shield, flat areas on the emu etc. I think it has more to do with the strike - the inconsistencies then as compared to now.

Thank you for your helpful comments. This is a coin I was thinking of buying on eBay (see http://goccf.com/t/349055). I spoke with someone about this coin last night, and they conveyed to me that it is a complete fantasy. If, for instance, you look closely at the loins tail and head you can see the colour of probably copper (copper substrate) coming through.
