​Looks genuine. Ask seller if it is genuine.
I have done that in the past.
Will be interesting to see how much this goes for!

I'd be cautious. The seller's only feedback is from selling a few pieces of clothing more than a year ago. Good looking pictures, but from a bit of a suspicious source.

£156.00 with 2 hours 30 minutes to go, plus postage.
Will it get to £200.00???????????

I expect a bidding war when there is only a minute to go, as this is what generally happens

​Went for £161....that is some shocking level of appreciation for a 50p coin.

Even more suspicious. The new listing is identical to the old one. Even the pictures are the same. Either that first sale fell through or the item being sent can't possibly be the one that's pictured.

Was the seller being lazy and just used the same photographs?

I would have liked photographs showing a nice close up of both sides

Up to £52.00 with 22 hours to go
