    There's about 30 Pages plus dedicated to slabs amd grading. 99% of people are of the opinion that they'd rather feel a coin than a plastic slab. Paul i believe slabs his coins before selling as he believes that he'll achieve a higher price when listed on ebay (correct me of i'm wrong Paul). I'm not sure if Paul actually has any coins in his own collection that has been slabbed by CGS, again you can correct me Paul.Personally, its each to their own how they want to keep their coins, it's just not for me or a majority here, it's mostly Americans that go in for that and expect afterwards that the same coin should quadruple in value because of what the slab says, but as we've seen mamy many times American TPGs cannot grade British coins correctly, nor identify them or fakes properly. Just saying
  2. a blatant number 4 would'nt need confirming. If its to be sold the auction house wouöd also confirm what it is, so no point in wasting £30 and 3 months wait on confirmation.

    It might not Apply to anyone here but some info on Fake Indian Gold mohur. The bit i noticed is the part where the Chinese fakers are now actually beating the coin a little so as not to create to mamy of the same scratches/lumps amd bumps http://www.ngccoin.com//news/viewarticle.aspx?NewsletterNewsArticleID=2744&utm_source=SilverpopMailing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=14-NG-1584%20--%20NGC%20August%20eNewsletter%20(Actual%20Blast)&utm_content=&spMailingID=9265384&spUserID=MTI4MzA4NDIwNjUS1&spJobID=361800725&spReportId=MzYxODAwNzI1S0

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    I assume that the slabbers are much like PCGS etc authenticating the item in question amd probably reading it before slabbing lol

    This might be ebays best http://www.ebay.com/itm/311050328393
  7. Instead of a phone camera, why not try a camera instead, and whilst your out, buy some gloves so you can Händle the coins better. Fingerprints are a big NOOOOOOOO. Apart from that, i actually like the coin
  8. azda

    Whats the difference?

    Both are the same apart from 1 edge is plain and the other grained
  9. I would be grading it less than GVF, more. VF in my opinion. As for price, well it would depend on how many people would want it and how many are actually out there. How much did the Nicholson one go for?

    New Ebay Fee Structure

    Ahhh haaaa, so still 10% but now up to £2500 value. Never the less, eBay will hopefully die a death

    New Ebay Fee Structure

    The cap on the final value fee (the 10% cut you give eBay of the final sale price, including p&p) will rise from £75 to £250. So anyone selling an item worth more than £750 will pay a lot mo Incrementally upto 250 Pounds. I think you just hate Ebay And how much do you think a £750 sale will actually cost you? Bear in mind it WAS £75 then ask yourself how much more expensive that same £750 item is now going to cost to the seller, he's obviously going to increase his price to incorporate the new fees.

    Look at post 57 and post 67. FVF capped at 250 GBP, on a 750 Pound coin this would be actually 35%

    New Ebay Fee Structure

    Hmmmmmmmmmm, MRD, come back in a few months and tell us how it's going. The 25% they're about to Charge sellers is going to hurt and it actually will be costing more than the 20% buying in auction. The only reason i can see for the huge Price increases is due to the fact People are leaving in numbers and those numbers equal loss of Revenue which in turn is why they've increased the charges by so much. Watch this space

    New Ebay Fee Structure

    They've gave the buyers far to much power and seem to have forgotten who it is exactly that pays their wags (the sellers) As i said above, i hope the next rounds price increases Pisses enough sellers off that if they leave, they'll leave in enough droves that will hurt ebay financially just like they're doing to reputable sellers

    Personally now i'll never sell Amy coins on there anymore. If i sell anything it will be an odd here and there item. I really really hope that this next round of price increases Coupled with this paypal BS of 6 month return of items will Drive reputable sellers away from ebay for good

    Low cost/low value, surely you mean fakes Peck

    New Ebay Fee Structure

    Ha, well this basically tells me that ebay is losing custom hand over fist and are making those that are left pay for those who have left. These price hikes will only be another nail in their coffin. Lets be honest here, who the hell is gonna pay or will want to pay a quarter of a coins value just in fees? £250 fee for a £750 coin, sorry but its never going to happen, dealers will be pulling out of there in quick Fashion just shortly.
  21. No problem Peck. A good coin apart from the hole, but it is what it is and rare
  22. Graded as Near Very fine but holed SPINK S2991 North 2468. Please PM with offers
