Importing coin into the UK
Coppers replied to Gary D's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Wybrit -- I don't recall any customs duty being charged in the other direction (UK to US). Do you know if this is just an oversight or is US customs supposed to charge a duty? -
What is haggis?

No bids yet, but someone may get stuck with it. The description of the auction states ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD "AS IS".

Are Chavs unique to the UK?

Strange Lustre
Coppers replied to aleroit2000's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
All of the coins being offered by this seller appear to be unnaturually lustrous. On the farthings he is selling he notes that "These coins are offered to you in 'Very Fine' Condition and still retain their original lustre". Perhaps he works for one of the US grading services? -
While much of what the public brings you to see may be less than desirable, have there every been any pleasant surprises where someone brings something really spectacular?
-
They were not struck in gold. Perhaps the coin has been "gold"-plated outside the mint. If so, it would only be worth face value.

Remarkably well done! Congratulations!
-
Hope you have a wonderful birthday!

Consecutive Birthdays
Coppers replied to Emperor Oli's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
Happy Birthday! -
That's not a boast -- simply an indication that one shouldn't give too much credence on the grade that is assigned to a slab. All in all, I prefer the current British grading system to the one we (here across the pond) have developed.
-
My few experiences with slabbing some GEF's purchased from the UK ended up with grades of MS-64.

Thank you, Oli!

My apologies ... my spelling is off -- the site is www.certifiedgbcoins.com.

Happy Birthday, Sylvester! How was the York Coin Fair? -
Happy Birthday, Geordie!
Coppers replied to Emperor Oli's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
Happy Birthday! For how many of those 75 years have you been collecting coins? -
A very belated Happy Birthday! How was the BBQ?
-
Exactly. Here in the US, there are a number of collectors willing to pay huge premiums for colorfully toned coins -- most of which I suspect have had more than a little help getting that way.

Very sad and shocking news indeed.

Another high grade 1869 penny up for sale. These are said to be quite rare in higher states of preservation and yet they do seem to appear with some regularity. 1869 Penny

Apparently ebay has terminated the auction. Good work!
-
While negative seller feedback on ebay is a danger signal, positive feedback is no guarantee of trustworthiness as I've seen some of the biggest scoundrels selling fake coins and tokens on ebay with nearly perfect feedback ratings.

Have you tried contacting ebay?
