  1. That must be a collection that couldn't be further away from my numismatic preference.

  2. When someone offers you advice that is "the bleedin' obvious" people describe it as "teaching your grandmother to suck eggs" - don't ask me why, I think it's a stupid phrase.

  3. This is a potential risk. But the fakers have already compared images of real coins with their creations and probably do know where the differences are. Besides, indicators such as poor quality of edge lettering, raised spots, same scratches on cast coins etc are much easier to spot then correct.

  4. I agree with most of the above - my only concern is that the fakers will use such a site to improve the quality of the fakes until we can't tell the difference anymore!

  9. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m00024pp I hope this works. Richard Osman's treatise on 'nuts' is testament to why BBC Radio should be heard by everyone on the planet. Best thing I've heard for months....

  10. I have been toying with the creation of (yet) another website on the subject of fake coins, showing pictures of known fakes alongside their genuine counterparts, as it seems to me that you need to look at the two side by side to really understand the differences. My questions are, therefore: Does such a website already exist ? Would this task be too huge to accomplish ?

  11. I use Gixen to snipe. Costs i think £5 to use for the year paid via PayPal. It drops two bids in for you from different servers in case one fails. Can have it strike at 6 or 3 seconds. I usually just put in what i am willing to pay , if i get it for less it's all good. It takes out the frustration of sitting and physically waiting for the auction to end then fumbling around last minute to drop the bid in , that's too stressful for me.
