Not me best scan

not strictly true my bid was £115 but didnt register as all the snipes went together. If i was paying that kind of money id need either a proper look and maybe return if not upto spec or buy from a shop From what you have posted on the forum so far pies, it looks like you have a very good eye for a bargain when it comes to Eddies! I may have to give you a wish list so you can be my personal shopper Just gambled on this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170880241738?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2648#ht_500wt_922 It's about EF

As you were gents Note to self stop buying EF 1909 florins cheap

It must be so frustrating for you as ex police to see these things going on John! It is blatant that this person knows what he is doing. If more than one person told me I had a fake listed I would cancel the auction right away. I just had a reply from him saying he was "leaving it up to his nephew and the highest bidder to take it to the Royal Mint for identification"...???? On a lighter note, he also said "he has had some abuse" about it, so thats nice                        I got this as a reply                        Dear phpies, Please don't bid on the coin I am waiting a descision from my nephew who found the coin on his building site. He takes his metal Detector with him on every site he works because his friend discovered a small hoard of Gold Coins. I ask you not to bid as I am proposing to take the listing off because I have been unindated with messages that the coin is a Chinese copy therefore to be sure I am sending the Coin to the Royal Mint to have it checked out - dullahan78 Reply in your email program or through My Messages From: phpies To: dullahan78 Subject: Details about the item: phpies sent a message about 1860 Victorian Copper halfpenny #180937503486 Sent Date: 26-Jul-12 22:11:38 BST Dear dullahan78, Hi I'm interested in bidding on th 1860 halfpenny.

Between fine and unc is my guess

Hi all this is my first forray into hammered coins and am probably way out on grading this coin. I bought the coin because i quite like the bust and its a bit of a change to the Edward Vii stuff ive been buying lately Im grading it as "fine" am i in the right ball park ?

Yep,Robs inspected it and confirmed its a fake,pity but NO loss except time but lots learnt

Im fairly sure i know what you mean but ill have a closer look when i get the coin in hand. Still a good buy imho cost £11.40 :-)

I'm starting doing my list one major difference is I'm keeping all my shillings florins etc together. Otherwise I think when I have quite a few it will take ages to spot which ones I'm missing

I actually quite like it,when I was much younger I remember buying the stamps they were quite vivid

Thats going to be a bit of a bugger sticking to an envelope

Without checking records, I'm pretty sure I've had a number of happy purchases with this eBayer! What's going on now, a 50's penny? You've got to be kidding me? I presume someone is about to tell me they are all ghosted? Bought a few from him myself no probs

just bumping to read tomorrow

Using spink and my dubious grading the absolute max for that is £80

My point that was probably missed earlier was its easier to spot that as being iffy goling by the sellers details on ebay but if that coin comes from an innocent person how can you id it as fake i.e judge the coin

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. There is a fair chance that coin is now owned by a uk person.So when its resale time it may well fetch a huge amount

As they say " never argue with an idiot,they will bring you down to there level then beat you on experience"

apart from being very very round, its almost perfect some pitting, well quite a bit actually a hint of draw file marks on the edge being very very flat apart from all that it looks genuine :D :D :D
