I was starting to think I know what to look for but now after seeing this I'm not quite sure I do :scratch_one-s_head:

Pictures a standard coin and puts a link to a site the very clearly explains how to identify. Then, when someone sends a message to say not a wavy allows it to be seen on the listing.
If anyone buys that they have only themself to blame for being ripped off. I "asked a question" to confirm the previous opinion that had been given. I suggest you all do the same.
I have also reported it to eBay (for what good it may do).

I prefer this one AUSTRALIAN 1966 20c LONDON DIE

I paid $1100.00 several years ago for my Uncirculated one.   Me thinks I did well after seeing the final selling price of the one above.

I know of a forum member who may still have a couple of these to sell.   Just post your requirement.
