what's the weight of your's Dave? I'll get back to you with the weight.

And mine for another comparison. Buying from China is never a good idea

This part of the listing made me laugh Please note that we will send this coin out to the successful bidder by way of insured delivery given the obvious value and novelty of this product. NOVELTY a fake coin on eBay is never a novelty

Last time I looked Scotland were in the UK. I know the Scots would rather it were different, but there you are. Yes scotland is actually in the UK and when i lived in England and went back with scottish notes they refused them which i find is akin to racism. Our notes are legal tender in the UK. There's places in London that accept €s yet not their own currency, its discrimination pure and simple. English pound coins are faked to death yet they'll still accept them, so why not scottish notes.????

Seuk, just register another eBay name, simples.......

And here's a Sovereign with a 2 Pound bust, must be rare!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320945692459?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D320945692459%26_rdc%3D1

Weight and diameter?

Another for Debbie perhaps? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/c3-1700s-Silver-Coin-Hand-Engraved-LOVE-TOKEN-Cason-Family-1746-/350579281385?_trksid=p4340.m1982&_trkparms=aid%3D555001%26algo%3DPW.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D29%26meid%3D529860475934386421%26pid%3D100009%26prg%3D1021%26rk%3D2%26

Was that a positive feedback then? Yup

Continental coin with a 165 FB score was the buyers name

I fear twud be lost on him Stuart and hopefully he is either back on his meds or back on his ward Or both

I great looking coin how do you id it as a fake from the pics i don't pies, but 2 clues of origin are the sellers name plus his 1 feedback name. Also the description. Lost in translation comes to mind.

The more worrying one is the Gothic crown which is doing the rounds. If some would be good enough to pop the link in from this eBay number 180919089610

Thanks for sharing the article with us Hussulo! It's certainly good to hear about these things. I definitely won't be buying any more U.S coins from online auctions. Will stick to dealers for these now A dealer in the US was actually busted for knowingly selling fakes. Just saying.

Am over the 15th Sept

My mate collects the Britannias and he said he paid £190 for his. 2 years ago. It was an awfy nice picture though You going fishing on the Tay this year? Got a week over there in September

Agreed on both counts John, the medal was hideous, the buyers name was chaplin something from Madrid. There are 2 other 1997s in the bay, 1 at £260 BIN and the other £235 BIN both also without certificates etc, so i guess mine was The cheaper Option. I thought it would finish ar around The £150 mark but the buyer bidded a few hours bedore the end and obviously wanted it as the underbidder was winning up until sunday and tried a few more bids at the end. Medal was sitting ar £21.50 with 4 seconds to go and my jaw dropped when it shot up like that. Now i just need a lottery Shop and a £1

They only did these in Gold/Silver and Bronze. 200 Gold, 1500 Silver and 2000 Bronze, then the dies were apparently destroyed under supervision according to the little booklet that came with it Proof, if ever it were needed, that there is a God! £92 it finished ar, so i'm kinda happy with that

Lmfao. Whar a dickhead, sometimes with people like this i wish i could pull them through the monitor and beat them Ever so hard.

Looks about as genuine as Katie Prices lady bumps! Some men like silicon John.....................Around the bath and window frames

With a picture of that quality and showing only about 2/3 of one side, he isn't giving anybody much of a chance to decide! If it IS genuine, he's done himself a great disservice with the image and listing! I've got a number of fake images now, even bought a couple for a closer look, so it would have been interesting to compare, if his images were better! It is kind fo of curious as he states in his auction "Money from the English Civil War (1642-1649). This 'siege money'or'money of necessity' was used to pay garrisons in some of the Royalist townsbesieged during the Civil War. These interesting anomalies are from themuseum's Early Modern coin collection" but also states Ref No: INV. 15757/ BOLMG: 1901.19 Finney collection I would'nt bid on the strength of the picture, far to small, but sometimes that can go for the bidder

According to the paypal forum it also did the same with long standing ebays sellers with over 600 FBs and members for many years.

Interesting. Is that Elizabeth I? Aha. Bit more info here: http://www.pccoinsandcollectables.com/product.php?cat_id=6&sub_id=62&pro_id=460 Thats the bugger, €4,95 i paid
