eBay is chokka with these dodgy $2 errors, One seller even describes a bagged up coin as being a "planchet error or machine error. "

Unbloodybelievable

In defence of that particular d**k head, there is a strike through on the Obv above HM's head, so technically it 'could' be called an error, but he talks of the 'dent' on the Q's head, so dunno if that's what he's referring to.

NO, the link trout put up users store name has NOTHING to do with me :dodgy:
Yes I agree Nevol, but they have "limited knowledge" but know about a mule and have apparently sold over 100 bags :scratch_one-s_head:

I just explained it to him in some detail. Not that he'll take any notice whatsoever of course.

Now I remember why I never go anywhere near ebay... :(

Me thinks that "dint" above the Queens head is nothing mo that the tip of a drill.

Maybe the position for a hole to string up and wear as a necklace.

Nah, its a proper strikethrough. But it IS the only distinguishing feature. Worth a few bucks, but not much more.
