Here's a picture of ESC 910 (wrongly classified as ESC 907).
-
London Coins sold two groups of 1848 pattern florins in September 2010 and 2011, but I don't think ESC 910 was amongst them.

Wreath Crown of dubious origin
Nick replied to Mark's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
To do a silver test with a magnet you'll need a rare-earth magnet, such as one made from neodymium. Standard type magnets aren't strong enough. -

It wasn't a 1933 though, it was 1932. Thread is here. -
Wreath Crown of dubious origin
Nick replied to Mark's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
There is nothing in the picture that screams fake, although the image is not particularly illuminating. If it is fake, it's quite a good one and a higher grade coin than usual that has been cloned. The clincher is probably the purchase price, which sounds as if it was a BIN costing $10 which tells you all you need to know. -
London Coins Catalogue Out
Nick replied to Prax's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Those are the two I was looking at, but neither obverse is better than fair to my mind. However, I only usually look at later milled coinage and have no knowledge of earlier series. -

Are you not confusing the 1666 description with the 1664 picture? The VG 1666 crown obverses don't look far apart in grade to me. -

There are another couple of fake 1818 halfcrowns up for auction, if anyone is interested (Lots 1990 and 1991). They exhibit the same nicks and dents etc as previously noted (see LCA Auction 02/03/2014, lots 1652 and 1653). -
Very Old 1912 Penny
Nick replied to singlemom29's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Condition is everything, Sally. If it is fairly worn, it will be worth very little. For it to be worth more, it would need to be uncirculated (or very nearly so) in which case it could be worth a few 10's of pounds. If it is a Heaton penny (small H to the left of the date), it will be worth more than a standard penny. If you can post a picture, one of the penny boys will be able to give you a value. -
That's because the description has now been edited. Before the revision it was claiming to be a rare no H variety.

That's only true if you are buying from a business. If buying from an individual, you only have the right to return if there is a breach of contract such as the item received is not as was described. The advice from Which is quite useful. However, as you say, any seller whether business or individual who wants to maintain their reputation would just accept it back, refund and move on.

Might be worth you contacting your ISP to see if there is a problem with their DNS server.
-
You can test the DNS lookup. Run cmd.exe and type nslookup. Then type the website you want the address for and see what returns. I get the following: C:\Users>nslookup > www.goldbergcoins.comServer: SkyRouter.HomeAddress: 192.168.0.1 DNS request timed out. timeout was 2 seconds.DNS request timed out. timeout was 2 seconds.Non-authoritative answer:Name: goldbergcoins.comAddress: 209.222.0.237Aliases: www.goldbergcoins.com >
-
Which means that the DNS lookup failed. The DNS server is provided by your ISP to translate names into IP addresses. Therefore it sounds like an IT issue at your ISP.
-
What IP address does your computer think is www.goldbergcoins.com? Run a command prompt (cmd.exe) and type 'ping www.goldbergcoins.com' (without quotes). My DNS gives me 209.222.0.237. That doesn't work. Just says it can't find it in different colours. Sorry, the website cmd.exe cannot be found.You need to run cmd.exe on your computer, not your browser. Use Windows key and r at the same time, type cmd.exe in the dialog box.

a. The replicas fail to recreate the prooflike quality. b. They also struggle to replicate the edge lettering. c. It comes from China.

Another dodgy 1847 crown.

Just because a seller decides that returns are not accepted, it doesn't mean that the buyer cannot return the item. If the item is not as described then eBay will side with the buyer and the seller can like it or lump it.

CGS 1912 Florin UIN 0032905
Nick replied to ozjohn's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Those florins of 1911-1919 are notoriously weak and slightly unpatriotic - "Two and a half lions on my shield". -
CGS 1912 Florin UIN 0032905
Nick replied to ozjohn's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Link. An excellent illustration of why CGS need to improve their photography. The seller's photos are vastly superior and show the coin 'warts and all' which is what CGS should be doing, given that it is their business. -
why does ebay now keep asking to run silverlight
Nick replied to Rob's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
You could try disabling the Firefox Silverlight plug-in. Using the icon with three horizontal bars (top right corner) click on "Add-ons" then "Plugins" on the left hand side menu. Scroll down to find Silverlight and change from "Ask to Activate" to "Never Activate". -

You could add "Adblock Plus" as an extension to Firefox. That would help to preserve some system resources. -
You have 500k allowance per post right here - there's absolutely no need to use Photobucket. Unless you want to, of course. Or you want your image inlined at its original size.
