PWA 1967

Its not about £ notes there are billions of them its about the fact you were not happy. I hope the hundreds of people reading this ask him questions should they wish to buy off him in the future. If you had just paid any postage costs they incurred that should of been the end of it and nobody worse off.

Well i think or should i say know i would of done something out of principal. You were sold something not as described and he told you he had received it back and didnt say the coin was received damaged etc. Dont know what the guy was getting the police involved for (they would of been on your side) and he should of just refunded you. I agree you should be able to trust dealers or have some trust in people in general.........It was not your own fault. More the fact the dealer was bang out of order if what you have typed is true. Plenty people you can trust but obviously he /they are the small percentage. I need to stop typing now as its annoying me

As you had only had the coin a couple of days why would they not just let you return it ?.

Sorry Richard yes and thats why i mentioned described in the post above.

Lot 113

Hi Ian. That one is currency although a nice coin

Yes nothing exciting Peter thats why i said it was a boring thread Although i have never seen one described as Proof in any collection apart from the Robert Gray -Thompson one DNW 10th DEC 2009 Sure there are plenty others for us Penny lunatics

I am better off saying nothing But that looks like the ebay one.......So will have to say not

Yes Bob your right Jon putting the two pictures together was a good idea as I have learned something and pointing to the six is the best indicator by far. Thank you Jerry for correcting me

Yes that just proves Jerry was right ,good idea Jon

Just looked it to me ,i stand to be corrected and sure you are right Jerry.its that little dig or different colour at the top of the diagonal that may of tricked me

Yes that is an open 3.

Another of which there are fakes, would have to be carefull not in the packaging of which even those are being opened and then heatsealed.

See i told you that you would find one.........Have faith

Think your dad would of kept them if Roman. Maybe farming tokens but not a clue.......Maybe go and dig them back up

Although penny collectors have probably got one....... another 1903 Open. Thought i would put it on (incase anyone does want one ) untill Friday when i will pass it on with the 1854 no colon to a dealer. Please PM me for pictures as upgraded my IPhone on Saturday and cant reduce the size of the pictures yet 1903 open 3..........£45 including postage. Pete.

We have all done it and sure you will find one Good luck.

Problem is they are making new ones every month and will only get better at it , the book could end up almost weekly . IMO will only make new collectors pissed off as when they buy one and fnd its a copy will lose interest. These in the years to come could of been the people buying forum members coins when they come to sell and can only damage the future of coin collecting. There are people buying decimal coin copies for £50-£100 every day kew gardens ,lines on face etc. Its not just the rare or scarce coins but the ones widely available that people dont look at twice that could cause a big problem.

Yes you cant change the title ,need to start a new thread. The way they make a coin look worn and toned (1860 halfpenny) is good and if done on more common dates were people dont look the same will definately fool people. Although the 1860 halfpenny has differences such as the milled edge they are well done as was looking at one in hand yesterday.

Might be tricky Paul they dont do the quadrum in -5 sizes Maybe the foam is slightly giving and will hold it firm at 19mm although i dont have one to try. Why i was typing i decided to have a look and Andy Jack says 19mm for a sixpence. Spending this time looking and maybe partridge doesnt like them

Maybe try a quadrum coin capsule they have a foam insert which will help grip the coin. They are only about £1 and think the sixpence is 19mm ,maybe buy one and if its suitable you can get them cheaper if you want a box of ten. Just enter quadrum capsule on ebay to see the pictures and prices. Someone on here may have another option . Welcome to the forum

With dots that size there could be hundreds Maybe see if you can find another in the same place.

Not for me its in the wrong place.
