Yeah it almost feels like mine used a cruddy authentic coin as a flan. Anyway other than the pyre shape, not as obvious as some fakes.

Yes, the flan on your example does look different from the usual suspects; but it's hard to be sure what's going, due to the scratches.

Hopefully they will pull them quickly from the auction.

I used the functionality on Biddr to report them to M&M and received a thank-you email a few days later advising they will be withdrawn, which they have been, which I was pleased to see.
