    Out of interest, what did the F76 fetch ?
  4. I read anything with an interesting tagline. I should get out more.

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    I also emailed them and they've replied asking for further information. I sent back their images with the tooth count illustrated. 130 teeth on either side - numbers which don't exist on genuine coins. Also sent them pictures of a fake 1869 penny with the same obverse/reverse, pointing out that that an 1881 penny would have a an "aged" portrait. And referred them to my varieties website for further info. They have now replied and are going to remove the coin from their auction.

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    Not Ebay but another auction house being fooled by a modern copy. https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/1818-auctioneers/catalogue-id-sr1810622/lot-1ad9d08e-f780-421e-b1e3-ae5b00ea231c?utm_source=auction-alert&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=auction-alert&utm_content=lot-image-link
  7. Yes, you're right - but it's very clever.
  8. I'll check - that dark line looks suspicious. If so, then it's still not a bad price for a clever piece of work !
  9. Got to be the bargain of the week - a genuine double-tailed 1967 penny, bought for £62-50 when a double-tailed 1964 penny sold for around £930 at Spink earlier this year.

    The Tyrant collection

    Strange - that's what I clicked on originally and it wouldn't let me go further without subscribing to something online. But the above link worked fine !

    How do you get to look at this collection without taking out the subscription ?

    Russians

    I assume that if they can only come here if they have relatives over here, those relatives will house them in most cases ?

    Russians

    Sergei L****v must be one of the most evil people on the planet (trying to avoid libel).
  17. Interesting because this is the first time that Fedex have ever got it right for me ! Luck of the draw ?
  18. I've just received a penny from the Stacks-Bowers sale shipped by Fedex and, for once, they didn't slap the 20% charge on it - about 6.2% in fact - I have no idea how they arrived at that.

    F-10 penny Repunched R & I in Victoria?

    Repairs to the legend are manyfold.

    F-10 penny Repunched R & I in Victoria?

    I think the case for an overstrike with a "V" punch is strengthened by Gary's picture where the R and I are clearly overstruck.
