    Toning while slabbed

    Yes which will help .However if you want to leave your slab somewhere daft it would be your own fault.

    Toning while slabbed

    I think its NGC who only garauntee the grade for ten years ,i am not sure the toning is caused so quickly by the plastic but more how it is stored. Again you buy the coin and not the grade as has been mentioned numerous times on here 😊

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    I dont know who he is or why he has upset you Dave. If he is just buying them and selling them for more , maybe the people who are buying them perhaps do not realise they are paying over the odds ? As far as i am aware though he does not come on here so is not going to defend himself if he doesnt think he is doing anything wrong ☺️
  4. Yes it looked a really good one in the pictures Mike and you wont have to look for another ☺️

    it gets worse

    Yes they probably think its someone like me who is stupid (they are right ) buying low grade pennies for much more. I agree their money to do what they want with and probably most are bought by people with no interest in coins ,such as the 1953 set. Companies probably target the majority of people who will buy things just because they want them due to how they were described in the adverts.

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/collection-of-one-penny-coins-3/163580034184?hash=item2616213c88:g:Aa4AAOSw1RVaZNDm I wonder why he has not sold them yet

    it gets worse

    Yes i agree . Yesterday i was looking at a full page advert in one of the daily papers by one of the companies that call themselves xxxxxxxx mint i think. I know the advert would of been a good few quid and often used as a loss leader to keep selling them things Described with all the hype and bollocks as a 1953 coronation set, Not even proofs and just a 1953 set with a couple of stamps, I cant remember how much they were ,although the price was ridiculous 😟. Maybe somebody on here saw it and can confirm the price ?

    More Pennies

    The die crack through the V on the obverse is a good second indicator Jon.........Hat off 🙂 The idea is you take another photo to show people after taking the verd off
  9. PWA 1967

    More Pennies

    Yes its a F10 ,think the seller meant 1d as in the denomination and not the dies which would be the mule ☺️

    madness

    He does say they are for pre-order and The Royal mint will maybe let a couple have large quantities of everything that comes out. I doubt they are going to turn the money down.
  11. PWA 1967

    madness

    Yes i agree ,however the royal mint have now got a big customer base who are queing up to buy anything no matter how horrible it may look to us as pre decimal coin collectors. They now sell everything from wallets ,cufflinks and scarves. The plate coin may well be the next
  12. PWA 1967

    madness

    Well just that seller has sold over forty in just a couple of days ,crazy i know but a lot more decimal collectors than i used to think and most seem to buy anything that is released. Dealers i speak to are getting asked every week for more and more decimal coins at shows and over the phone.

    1913 penny - Freeman 175 & 176

    Glad you got one Mike ,always good to get one your looking for ☺️

    Talk About Grade Inflation

    Or try to break it out ☺️

    403 error

    http://www.thefakepoundcoindatabase.co.uk/ I think nearly all the decimal ones are covered on this website.
  16. The 1877 is a really nice one for someone who has not got one and possibly even bertter in hand ☺️
  17. The biggest problem for me is it takes a lot longer to go through all the lots closely and to see them in hand they are only available to view in London. Although the pictures are really good it was nice to view them with one click with the magnifier 🙂

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    Thats a new one for me "just off to suck a few eggs " What does that mean ?.

    What are these Spink "timed auctions" when they're at home?

    Only guessing Mike but looks similar to ebay. when you click thje link a clock is going down to a finish day at 11.00 AM unless that is when the live bidding starts. Looks more like ebay though with cheaper items that can be bid on at anytime untill the finish time. I am probably wrong
  20. Yes Mike your right ,what i should of perhaps typed is looks more like OBV 8 as all appeared different ☺️ They still often confuse me and when buying them and they are a few quid like to get a second opinion if i am not sure ,as a couple of forum members know who i am grateful. Even more so when i have got them wrong
  21. Yes i thought they were different Richard and was using the ones above as being the only examples pictured. I am sure if you look at the full pictures of the coin Terry the difference will be more obvious with the nose etc Wish i was able to do some work instead of being bored daft
  22. The second one looks like OBV 8 ☺️ but think i may be confusing myself
  23. The die on the middle one and right one Terry dont look the same to me ,with other differences such as the fishtail on both ribbons are you sure they are both OBV 7 ?

    1863 penny stumpy 'Y'.

    They must of had a problem with the Y on the 1861 pennies as i have a F29 that has a restruck Y different to Terrys
