I hope it won't be to Long before we're no longer a part of Westminster. Are you eligible to vote in the independence referendum, Dave? Or is it just those who currently live in Scotland? Only residents of British nationality can vote. Just looked it up and it seems that residents from Commwealth and EU countries can also vote. Correct.Incorrect, only those Residenz in Scotland can vote

I don't think it will happen either Derek, people are to scared, but for me i've had enough of a Westminster Government who see to Test every f Ing policy out of Scotland First. Enorme it Rolls out to the Rest of the UK. England has no interest in us apart from the oil

I hope it won't be to Long before we're no longer a part of Westminster. Part of Westminster? Goodness, then why did I have to drive all the way through blasted Northumbria to get there? Silly me!Next time I'm shopping at Fortnums I'll pop over and see you then Dave. What's the nearest tube stop again? Moosach Bahnhof Richard

MS 60-65 ish is an American grade which we don't use in the UK, we have a different scale. By the sounds of it you might be looking to sell it as "the finest known" variety, i know i'm not in the market for one but these types of hypes does nothing for me and i'm not sure what it would do in America either, but if you ship it to Heritage you'd need at LEAST $5000 worth of coins for it to even be of interest to them. so the question is, are you looking to sell? Are you looking for valuation? Your best bet would be CGS if you're keeping it and just want it valued.

I hope it won't be to Long before we're no longer a part of Westminster.

You'd need to Register to be able to look up the CGS Population report

Seems not judging by his latest penny offering

Hello Tony, welcomed to the forum. Maybe check the Population Reports of CGS and the American big 2 of PCGS and NGC

Really? He stopped mis-grading? That must have been when he stopped selling on his own ebay account then for several weeks before starting again on his wifes ebay account. I also notice he's changed his own ebay name

And the REV

I've had two German Gold Marks, the one attached is a Fünf mark and a rarer type

Where? (null)

Ebay has been (in my opinion) pretty poor of late, so don't hold your breath Huss, its a buyers market right now, not a sellers

They are all suspect to wall bidding, but as Rob points out, low ball bids can also be effective. If you can watch/bid/listen live the. You also have a chance to NOT bid as the case was at the last DNW sale where a majority of coins went stratospheric and so when you actually got back up from Fällung on you back at the opening price it was already gone at 5-10 times estimate. The next 2 Sales at Londons and DNW will be interesting, but i still won't bid on Londons for 2 reasons, conflict of interest (CGS& Londons) plus no live bidding which for a major auction house like Londons is pretty much behind the times

The seller is Martin Platt so take his grade with a pinch of salt. He generally ups ALL grades by at least 1 full grade if he can get away with it. He also uses acetone quite frequently on copper. He's recently changed his ebay name from *country*cottage*interiors* which is actually his wifes ebay id, his was *classic*british*coins*

Words of much encouragement gents, and thank you. I shall be staying and try and not let things get to me so much. Brandon aka brg, this is a BRITISH coin Forum and not an American one, we do here rip apart TPGs from America and even the one in the UK (CGS) you taking offence to me having my opinion was OTT and when we discuss this Topic (which is more than likely several times a year) it can run into pages upon pages, the last time we discussed CGS for instance, it ran into 15 page in 2 weeks. So maybe think about where you are exactly, this isn't the coincommunity Forum where 95% of members are American and love slabs and toning (which is another subject) this is a great BRITISH Forum, the best on the web for British coin discussions and i don't want to be banned from here for getting riled at you, it's not worth it. Anywy gents, thanks again for your encouraging words, i'm off to post in coin aquisition of the week now.

I do accept that, but HE could'nt accept that i'm not a fan of plastic and have MY OWN OPINION ON THAT SUBJECT nor am i a fan of how the Plastic fans in America would trade the same coin for a 1 Point difference on said plastic plus he disliked that i mentioned Artificial Toning. I don't quite understand how you can come in at the END of all this and quite simply say it all down to me. You Need to have looked back at the Facts and not just simply delete the plain truth of where and why i exploded.

Dave, you've just had a spat with another forum member. It happens! You and I have fallen out in the past but always made it up (or so you think .. ). I don't see that's any reason to leave. Take a few deep breaths and count to 11. Besides, if you leave, who am I gonna insult from now on??? There is the difference Peck, this numpty is making out that because i've made comments againts American TPGs he's trying to make it into a racist issue. He's also on the coincommunity Forum and is obviously a big fan of American TPGs and we all know how those darn Americans will defend those TPGs to the hilt because what they say is Gospel. He's been at this for "several weeks" and just yesterday or the day before on the Topic he started "Show us your bronze and copper" thread he uploaded at Viccy 4d and in the description he said lets see which hater blah blah blah, now unfortunately either Chris or Scottishmoney has deleted this post but it just Shows which direction he's taking and if you have ANYTHING against PCGS or NGC and voice your opinion about them then you'd better watch out. Chris, you have only read this part of the Problem, you have'nt went back to the start, this thread is where it eventually erupted. I'm only confrontational when i'm being attacked by some arse that's only been here for 21 days, as i said previously, look at the beginning of this thread and you'll read his comment about myself being "ill-informed" and himself being "well-informed" but that was just the ending and not the beginning of the Problems.

An' me avatar is wee better lookin' 'han yours twa. Yous twa

Chris, as i wrote in my previous post. It's Been the American gentleman who is getting confrontational. His 21 days here has been littered with posts having a dig at me and on this thread where i'm told my advice is "i'll-informed to his well-informed opinion" was the starw that broke the camels back. In every thread i've so far commented on in the past few weeks there has been an underlying goading from him and if you look again at the ebay laughs thread he's again commented. So for this reason i've decided to leave the forum, i cannot understand how you can say i'm confrontational, i've used potty language but this has been after several weeks of his underlying problem with me with commemts like "i'm always negative" and "i'll-informed advice" I did apologies to the forum, but not to that ass in question. Thanks for all the laughs and great info guys but i can't hang around while this idiot is on here or else i won't be able to keep my tongue quiet. Ciao

Several weeks, eh? I have been a member here for 21 days -- so seems to be a bit of an exaggeration. azda, remember who started with the vulgar mud slinging. It was you. I have remained civil throughout all of your frustration and drama. I get that you don't like opinions that differ from your own, but no where have I personally attacked you. I have disagreed with you, sure. But, that's the nature of a "discussion forum", is it not? Further, I don't know of any of my replies that have been deleted...are you confusing me with someone else; or have you had a bad dream recently? I simply don't see why your feathers are so ruffled so as to be apparently losing sleep over an online quibble. Life goes on. Rest well though, as I've recently discovered the ignore feature on this forum, and you will have to worry no more of my replying to your posts, as I won't ven have to read or see them. Cheers. Obviously you don't understand that several weeks means 2 weeks (14 days) and you have been a member for a mere 21 days which in turn means you've been having a dig at me simce your 1st week of being here. I've now decided that i should now leave the forum because of your constant goading which AGAIN you have done on this thread. It seems it does'nt matter which thread i comment on tha you will constantly be digging a knife into me.Unfortunately, it seems that you are allowed to continually Harass me and Chase me around on here and so it leaves me no option but to not come back. The bullying win. When he starts on another member i'm sure something will be done then. Ciao guys, its been a blast but one of us had to go.

I should turn the other cheek Peck, and of course you are correct, so when he's been correctly put into his place by the admin of this site due to his constant attacks on me personally then thats when i'll let it go. He should NOT be allowed to just simply get away with this while i have to constanly defend myself, his goading of me over several weeks is dotted over the site, or at least it was until his little nitpicking replies were deleted, so he can walk away whistling dandy whilst i'm left still extremely annoyed that he has'nt been moderated or better still, banned
