Counterfeit Crowns

Took a flyer (~$45) on an eBay auction 2 weeks ago on 5 "Queen Victoria Medals" from a Power Seller with the following picture

I was overbid but last weekend I received a "second chance" offer on the lot.
Lucky me image

Definitely counterfeit - if you look closely Victoria is smoking a stogie. image

Anyone interested in one of these - free of charge of course!

Second - any suggestions on the feedback I should leave the seller? image

    So can we consider these "Churchill" crowns? image

    I'd be glad to put one on my Counterfeits web page. It's pretty sparse right now.

    Sorry they were fakes.

    Now if you had a counterfeit Churchill crown, it would be likely more valuable than the genuine article.

    The seller did call them medals and not coins but I suppose they should have clearly stated they are not genuine.

    If you have any left, could I please have one?

    Since I live on the other side of the world I will pay for postage handling etc.

    Thanks in Advance

    Avoid TLQualls is also my advice. I purchased a Napolean III gold coin from him. Nowhere did the item description indicate that the piece was a micro-sized copy. He sent a refund but clearly the guy peddles trash, and unethically at that.
