Don't think I'll be looking for one of those :laugh2:

The seller wrote "I collect different stuff at times and this is one of them. Probably never see something like it again."
I have lots of different stuff he can buy from me if this is the calibre of what he collects and the price at which he buy/sells it.
Looks like that coin was removed from salt water and cleaned up a bit.
I had plenty of coins that looked liked that and I have melted down into three home made silver bars.
It might have been to West Africa and caught Ebola by the looks of it
That is just down right silly.

Tell us more, Goldy....pictures please
Remember reading if the horses hooves appear to be slightly sunken into the base line, this was an indication of a possible fake. Not totally certain but could be. Heh, a fake with a variety?
If it was a fake I doubt the seller would know. Had a few conversations with him when he lived in Brisbane (assuming item location NT means he's moved), and from what I remember him saying, his main interest was simply a numbers game.
Definitely "harshly cleaned". Maybe after the blowtorch was removed!
Whatever, you should tell him he's dreaming.
I have a number of detector finds and beach finds and they look nothing like that florin. I also have a few contemporary fakes and they also don't look like that. So what caused those lumps? Not a chance it left the mint like that. A bad attempt at making a fake?
I thought it looked like a coin pulled from a melting pot just before it melted
Maybe Jeff is close to the truth with the blow torch comment.

agree
I reckon it a failure fake
I do believe that I might have the most horrid fake collection going
Well i don't think it is a Fake,would have been a nice coin before the blow torch & grinder got to it.
