Maybe because the grades are off you are seeing the softening Rob

Anyone watching/biding today? What caught my eye was the amount of hammered Gold that was passed. Estimates too high or grade?

Early? They've been around for 87 years lol

No, i meant masallah, i don't have the serif for the S so it would be pronounced mash allah

It was a Henry VIII groat, the CGS one i'm sure was kosha, the other 3 had too much similarity and a nick in the same place on all three

This is up for sale in the next DNW sale, would it worry anyone that the tops are missing on the OBV legend and there's a scratch coming from the kings mouth?

Ebay are a waste of your time and effort Clive, theyonly want the money, its more than evident with the amount of things that go by after being reported

Rarity probably Stewie

It never fails too amaze me how OFF TOPIC a thread can actually go. Well done Rob, your fault this time

Lmfao, kinda strayed off topic there. Any plans to do a cookbook then?

I thought most of that region including Algeria and Tunisia spoke French, or in other words, most of North Africa

Whilst we're straying off-topic, Moroccan is Arabic. I associate Arabic with Egypt, as they speak Arabic, Morrocans speak French

I know, but I couldn't think of an appropriately named arabic dish. Couscous I thought that was Morrocan

A work in progress on all things fake of George III http://www.steppeulvene.com/index.george_iii.html

http://www.steppeulvene.com/index.george_iii.html Thanks Clive, will add this too the useful links section now

DNW????????? Hmmmmm that would mean it would be listed in their previous sales catalogues. Do we know which sale, or when bought allegedly?

Just curious Paul, did the seller of your fake not say anything or ask why it was fake etc? Or did they just and the cash back?

This must be a first, surely. An honest ebayer with a thirst for knowledge! Perhaps there is hope. Hello Edward. Perhaps we should also commend him for holding his hands up. These fakes without education are killing the hobby. Welcome to the forum Ed, glad to hear you have taken the coin down. If in doubt, check out forum member seuk, he has a website dedicated to the fakes of George III (anyone got the link to hand?) Here's hoping you get your money back from wherever it came from, it they don't, or argue the toss, send it to CGS for verification then ask them for the 30 quid fee on top of what you paid for it. Good luck and let us know how you get on with the return.

Another Gothic Crown from China. Winning bidder had n**p in his name and has a 2695 feedback and left feedback for the seller on 21.05. Feedback was left in English and was happy with it. I'm just wondering if we'll see it pop up in the UK to be sold as genuine. Keep um peeled http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121337952501?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D121337952501%26_rdc%3D1

Grilled camel

Its arabic Roberto. Tika is Indian

I'm looking forward to the Irish book Chris, i think Spink has lost the plot not updating The Scotland/Irland and the Islands book last printed 11 years ago and well out of date, i think to would sell pretty well these days. So my obvious question is have you any thoughts on doing a Scottish one? I think the Scottish and Irish coins book is Long overdue for an overhaul

Hmmmm i don't get charged a monthly fee, i have a quarterly charge of about €20, but since i was employed direct by my firm my Bank has called and asked if i wanted a free account (nice) of course, so have an appointment with them on the 14th July.
