    Spink's warn of forgeries for this date! Would be good to see some examples of it! Wouldn't it be easier to doctor an Aussie 1917coin? '25 would be the cheapest British coin to butcher I suppose?
  2. Coinery
    Sorry, Azda, the 1 AND the 7 appear/are dropped! Not sure why the 1 would be tampered with if it's a date change, though?
  3. Coinery
    We should all buy it and get CGS to slab it!

    I thought the general consensus was 'if that's fake, we're buggered for these too'?Apparently he was told the day of the auction that LC had got it wrong and it was kosha. But i asked the question if anyone else was told in the auction room about their "mistake" I hope the seller was suitably re-compensated. Interesting point, that! I wonder whether the Cromwell was bought in as fake? Or sold for the vendor?

    If Steve runs with this sale, I'll lose a lot of respect for LC, there is no way that isn't a suspect coin! I wouldn't mind betting it's a cast date-change myself! The tail and date are so out of character, it can be nothing else IMHO! Unless of course, the rarest sov. is about to kick up the greatest numbers of varieties for any of the series! It may even be cast in 22 carat gold, and why not, I would if I wanted to do a good job! Not that they have!

    Oh, boy...I'll get my coat!

    Eye watering, but true!!! Unbelievable...we are fools to ever think we know it all, and that life is straight forward!

    I just don't see what purpose they serve overseas (or here, for that matter), why would somebody want a fantasy piece, when they can get something genuine?Is it a gift for relatives scenario abroad, on account of "what else do you buy them", or is it ignorance to the fact that 'genuine' coins are still in existence? I find it odd! Even stranger than the immeasurable "thunk" that is the coin collector!
  9. Coinery
    Oh, B'Jesus, they come in varieties and die-pairs? Edit: Oh, Gary, no, not you AND Peck?

    I think you are being overly critical here, there are also Scarce AND Superb coins in the inventory!

    I'm waiting for my second instalment, I think it's in this lot. I think you're right, it's the third piece in at 4 O'Clock! Good spot!

    18-omega-5!
  13. Coinery
    Great for those who wish to buy coins in instalments!
  14. Coinery
    We ALL love 'em, just haven't the capacity to study everything! This forum wouldn't be the forum it is, if we couldn't read about something new! I personally love the variety 'diggin' in' even if I'm lost!
  15. Coinery
    Peck! Now I'm lost and confused, I'm giving this all up, it's just too stressful!
  16. Coinery
    Wow! Good luck!
  17. Coinery
    Big thinker, not from the mould! Shame!

    This is what I use! Edit: in the 6 per page A5 numis albums! Perfect for portability and, most importantly, browsing!
  21. Coinery
    Hah, you are SO bad...they're already off!
  22. Coinery
    "Consignment" is total submission per auction. Presumably your two coins would have been fine with others making weight? Yes, I would say so...but that's a remarkably privileged position they find themselves in, that they can turn their nose up at a grand's worth of coins or, putting it a different way, around £300 of profit (buyers & sellers prem.) from handling 2 coins! I was genuinely surprised!
  23. Coinery
    I always thought this: and of course, whatever excuse, this... were very pretty coins! (albeit the 2nd coin is a 'retoning' coin, though I am certainly in no mood to rush it )
  24. Coinery
    Yes, I meant that it'd be odd to use such a punch on Elizabeth's coins and, even if it were used, it would be a most unusual place for it as it doesn't fit in with the design and doesn't strike me as a 'countermark'. TimeLines told me that their 'coin experts' believed it to be a letter E. I'm still not convinced. Nor I...someone arsing around I reckon!
  25. Coinery
    This is fun...just picked up my W&W lot today, and thought I'd share the packaging!
