Just as a post-script to the CU thread, it seems the seller in question fabricated his whole story.

So even PCGS slabs are fallible. 18 pages on that topic in a matter of hours just shows how much of a stink this has kicked up. What does that make them now besides glorified capsules? We now know that coins can be AT'ed whilst in them, counterfeits have been slabbed, and grading is often dodgy (as we saw in that MS65 Morgan thread I think someone posted a few days ago). People will still pay ludicrous money for them though.

That looks very promising, Chris! Once there are higher grade pieces in my area, I shall be sure to buy some.

Just imagine if it were an American error! The price would go bananas. -
Exams and tests galore!
Emperor Oli replied to Emperor Oli's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
Thanks everyone! Whilst I agree that the exams are perhaps easier than they used to be, the driving test certainly isn't. You've got to do a theory test which you never used to have to do, and since it's been spun off to the DSA, examiners have been very picky. They even ent through a phase of failing drivers who clipped the white of a mini roundabout! ps My economics teacher says that degrees now are like old A-levels, and A-levels now are like old GCSEs! -
I don't really know if Spink is accurate in this series. They generally have higher-than-realised prices and should only be used for a rough guide really. Whether this applies to George II guineas, I don't know.

Looks authentic to me.

Usually I'd just do View > Toolbars and uncheck them if they're there, but if it's spyware then it's a totally different kettle of fish. Try googling the name of the search bar and if it's notorious (such as the mysearch bar) there are walkthroughs of how to get rid. Or switch to Firefox

Although most of us collect non-US stuff, there is a US seller who is regularly posted on the CU boards. He goes by the name of dmplrainbow with a feedback score 2131 and 98.6% positive. Sounds alright, but his buyers must be blind...look at his pictures! Number 1 Number 2 Number 3 Number 4 A child could do better with a paintbrush than he could with Photoshop. For further laughs, see his feedback.

I spent the last week in London, and whilst on my travels visited the British Museum. Armed with my camera, I took a few photographs of exhibits I thought were quite interesting. They are posted below for your viewing pleasure...

1996 Great Britain Pound - Possible Mule
Emperor Oli replied to a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Sounds good to me. It's a bit offstruck to boot. -
Happy Birthday, Sylvester!
Emperor Oli replied to Coppers's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
Congratulations, Sylvester. Have a jolly day! -
Artifical toning?
Emperor Oli replied to Coppers's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
It bothers me on some US forums how dipping coins is taken so lightly. The Oh-I'll-just-dip-X-Y-Z-to-bump-it-up-a-point-or-two syndrome. -
"England's striking history"
Emperor Oli replied to Geordie582's topic in Rotographic Publications Forum
Super work! -
The campaign medals one is quite outstanding. I thought that the Spink cover this year was a bit off the mark in comparison to previous years.

Happy Birthday Geordie!

Hot tubs in the sun are fantastic! With a pitcher of Pimm's, the heat won't bother you one bit! -
Happy Birthday Geordie!

Congratulations, Geordie! -
Consider it sold! I shall PM you with some bits and bobs I'll buy as well.

Is the market out of control?
Emperor Oli replied to Rob's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
To digress slightly on the subject of estimates, did anyone see Princess Margaret's stuff go last week? There was a purple leather jewellery box for £350-$500 estimate that went for near £50,000. Perhaps they just do it to hook people in - same with coins? -
C. Cooke's Farthings to be sold
Emperor Oli replied to Emperor Oli's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
..and? We need pictures! I bought the 1860 Weyl tin farthing to make up a set as issued which was my primary aim. Probably unique, they all came out of the same Glens sale on 15/12/93 and are probably Murdoch 3 lots 689 or 690 (part). I also bought the young head copper uniface trial ex- Murdoch 3 lot 675. It's lovely!
