The seller has fake centenary florin, suspect looking '38 crown and counterfeit Australian legal tender currency. Fleabay not shutting them down is pathetic. The AFP not arresting this dealer is worse.

Just a typical environmentally damaged copper nickel coin. Likely left outdoors on the ground for a period. Definitely not copper.
I agree with markn's comment above. He beat me to it as I was going to reply with the same comment.
Definitely not copper, I seen a similar 50 cent coin the other day that caught my eye, that seller should know better than to try to pass it off like that.
$10 with 11 days to go ... seller obviously dumb or the usual deliberate trap for novices
I do a lot of work at remote Mine Sites and see coins like this on a regular basis.
I call them "Urinal Coins" for obvious reasons and even the cleaners don't want to pick them up :ok:

I have a few buckets of these found whilst metal detecting!
