    I don't like it

    What's that ugly stuff on the obverse or is it even corroded? Cleaned?

    However I'm not an expert for British or maundy coins.

    That almost has to be a planchet defect,what gives me problems is the denticles, particularly over the "T"

    For whatever reason, it looks like a fake to me.

    I wonder what caused that corrosion.

    How many reasons can you come up with, if any, for not buying this coin?

    (1) The coin is ugly.
    (2) The auction has ended.

    All of the above. I've given up buying maundy oddment as it's near on impossible to make full sets up. If it was any good it would have reached much more than $17
