Congratulations !

Am actually getting a little concerned over this character now. His facebook page doesn't tie up with Octavian Coins facebook page. I cannot picture that guy being behind Octavian coins facebook page. The Octavian coins facebook page has alot of foreign people as friends where as this Paul Anderson guy doesn't look like he'd know all those people also i cannot find a link between the two on FB. Well dodgy this. Its looking like some kind of ID theft or scam.

According to Spink its Class 11a. ?

So if that's dodgy then so is he lol. According to his Facebook he's worked for Jessops as well. He's got something to do with Redditch football club or the academy at there. He's got a Facebook page under Octavian coins also. Sounds like a bit of a walter mitty character.

So much has changed there. A lot of buildings where pulled down and new ones went up in the lead up to the capital of culture thing. The docklands area has had a lot of work done on it and attracted a lot of businesses to it mostly eateries and trendy bars but good for a quiet night out.

I moved in 2013 up to East Lancashire. Got full custody of my kids and decided to move to hopefully better their futures. Still keep in touch with friends and family there but haven't ventured back.

Yeah that's him. Neither of his websites are active. Octavian coins is or was trading from this address : 14 kingfisher walk Redditch, B97 7PX.

I grew up in Liverpool. Lived there 40 years. Never visited Garstang Museum though. Generally all museum coins are cleaned and preserved for display purposes.

I know. I did some background checking on him seeing as he threatened me. His names Paul Anderson. He seems to have been trading under the names of Romeos Romans & Octavian Coins which is a company based in Redditch Worchester. I've got his home adddress ' business address & phone numbers in case he trys to find me. Fancies himself as a marathon runner according to his facebook. Why he'd ruin his reputation in numistimatics circles for a couple of hundred quid flogging a fake coin is beyond me. Hard times!

Thanks Jerry. I didn't realise it was the same guy. He's obviously since damaged the coin to cover up the WRL stamp so he could again attempt to try and sell it on. What a low life eh! Supposedly a coin dealer judging by his ebay user name , crook more like it. He needs blacklisting.

Thanks. I think i will. Out of order that and technically a threat.

I reported it to ebay and emailed him back after the CNGAF response. His response was I will find you lets see if you talk to me like that face to face. He's lucky i didn't report him to the police as well the scumbag.

Emailed him telling him its a WRL coin. The response was C.N.G.A.F. Please can somebody pass this seller's details on to CCF. Thanks.

Oh dear. Another dodgy WRL Edward I groat. Dented apparently right on the WRL stamp. How convenient ! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182615282542

Its either a gold double crown or crown of charles 1st. The double crown has an X to the right of charles portrait and the crown has a V to the right of the portrait. The Mintmark looks to be Cross Calvary which would date it to 1625-1626 AD . Great find. ?

Agreed. It annoys me when i browse Celtic coins and it comes up with loads of £1 coins with the Celtic design on them. You have to be specific in your searches but in some cases it doesn't always work.

Ebays not bad if you know your stuff. You need good reference guides first so you know your not overpaying for coins but in some cases stuff like that goes out the window if its a really sort after coin your after. Don't bid on anything thats got blurry pictures. Be picky and selective about what you bid on. Use a sniper also to drop your bids in. Never bother with ebay on a Sunday. Its great the rest of the week but Sundays are stupid. Seems to be people without a clue of a coins value on Sundays running up the prices and paying silly money for coins. Sunday is definitely a sellers market on ebay. I avoid it at all costs on Sundays. I mainly use ebay for buying my coins and a few dealer's when they get fresh stock. I am thinking of trying some of the online auction houses soon , if anyones got any recommendations or tips on using them I'd be most appreciative. Also anyone who sells coins feel free to PM me your website details so i can browse your stock. Thanks.

Good work. I actually saw that coin and recognised instantly what it was meant to be but missed the WRL stamp. Glad to see that taken down. Well done ?

Your welcome. My gut reaction was June. It definitely looks like a four letter month i think. Try looking at it with a jewellers loupe or magnifying glass.

If you go on google and type "Gunmoney and the Limerick mint pdf" You'll find a pdf by Gerard Rice. Its a good document for identifying which mint the coins where minted at which should be possible if you figure the month on your shilling . There was two mints one in Limerick & the other in Dublin.

I've a few gunmoney pieces. A half crown , shilling & sixpence. Paid £40 for the half crown early this year & £44 for the shilling quite a few year's ago. The sixpence is holed. Great story behind the creation of this token coinage. The first letter on yours declan looks like a J. June or July ?

Hopefully they can look into whose behind the Andorra Scams. There using multiple accounts claiming to have numerous US numistimatics memberships & are claiming there based in the US though items are reported to be dispatched from Spain. The fake Norman rubbish there trying to flog looks like its been bashed about and put on a buffer to give the false impression of circulation wear , which is a slight change on there anglo saxon rubbish they have flogged in the past. The weights on the coins are way over so thats a dead giveaway but its all part of the illusion. It gives inexperienced buyers a false sense of professionalism if there not savvy about real coin weights.
