  1. Yep, lighting angle different, but some matching scratches. Same coin. Scratches can be surprisingly 2D sometimes, and changing the light angle can make them vanish.....
  2. Surely an "Official" complaint to Ebay from some numismatic body or other would force them to address this problem? The threat of bad publicity might have an effect......
  3. Today on the BBC- the commentator on the Ladies Curling said that during the tricky match our girls were in, they were "trying to be offensive".... Maybe it was the camera angles, but they looked quite nice......
  4. Trying hard with the title.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Winston-Churchill-Coin-Crown-WWII-WWI-Hitler-Nazi-Germany-Medal-Silver-London-US/302638909182?hash=item4676af46fe:g:~0wAAOSw~vpaNvPC I think he hadn't got room for 'Gifted and Black'.......
  5. Aah- just noticed the 'link' logo at the top!!! Duh
  6. Greetings...I'm on a MacBookAir, and want to add a link in the text to a page on ebay, so you can click on it and bingo. How do I do that? I've tried everything, but I'm not a computer guy so a reply saying that I should 'format' it, or some such, means nothing to me....I'm used to just dragging and dropping, and that's that. I got round the .49Mb picture limit by always emailing the pictures to myself, with the file size on medium..... regards Blake
  7. 1868 5 cents surprisingly crisp...
  8. I resemble that remark!!
  9. I know- not what I expected in the 'tin of coins'.... My friend had a very colourful artistic full life, and died an hour after doing the Telegraph crossword... oh that we could all end our days that sharp....
  10. I'll put up some more- my friend died at 97 and I'm helping her family have a sort out. If any are wanted, I'll take offers- say, one week and then I'll see who's offered what...I'm a penny man, so silver values are an unknown. Shall I do a running count? I'm not getting a penny of this- I'll ask for payment into her daughter's account, if that's all right. Any suggestions? I have more to put up if it all goes well.. B
  11. This is a florin- the two above are doubles...
  12. I've been wondering about this one.... It was the second finest in the CGS Population Report, and it was noted that no examples were in the Alderley or Norweb collections. I think it's a Type 5, but I'm not sure..... It was tricky to get the pictures in focus enough to see the finer detail. Will the edge knocks detract from its value? I don't know any more than that- I'm not expecting The Spanish Inquisition....
  13. Mmm..Devil's Advocaat...my favourite cocktail. Except Tequila Mockingbird, obviously....:)
  14. Ha! Is a saw a very thin file? Where does one stop and the other start? Is one car 'traffic'? Tracy Tools used to do hilarious charts with different bolt types on etc.. All made up and hilarious...perfect for the workshop wall. I've just emailed them to see if they still do 'em....
  15. Best get her a job with a grading company then!!!!!
