Your not going to believe this I am so very fortunate this is the recessed ear coin. I searched for 1911 penny. I hate ebay they list anything even if the sale says 1911-1936. I thought I was looking at a goubyX 1911 penny lmao. I even overlooked the date concentrating on those blasted border teeth pointing. You can imagine my mind Ms64 goubyx It's a slam dunk. I really have to refrain from impulse purchases without looking properly first. It is not the first time either lol

My latest . I'll probably get stuffed by customs as well but If this is what I believe it is it will be worth the expense. 1916 Penny Recessed ear Broken border tooth after last T of BRITT

Very skillful chap he cleaned them up well you wouldn't know they were dug up lols

I need to buy all 6 plus he might of sold that particular coin as its only a front picture for all of the lot but your welcome to here is the link http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1965-Elizabeth-II-sixpence-coin-of-Great-Britain-/152632658632

Changed my mind it's £1.65 I went to get it but it was part of a multiple sale . I do not want to get lumbered with a shed load of 1965's lol to go with the shed load already

It's too much money for my blood tin of catfood I could get for the 38p . I'll get it just for curiosities sake. If it turns out to be legit i'll mention you in my memoirs lols

Have a butchers at this 1965 Sixpence. Looking in both Davies & Grooms books they identify Obv 3 with I of regina pointing to space and the 2nd A of GRATIA Also pointing to a space. This is different With the A pointing to a border tooth and not a space. New variety?

one of his many retorts he did say "How am I a scammer I advertised a 2016 £1 coin and that is what the buyer receives" So I said " So what about the part stating misprint error wrong date should be 2017"? "you'll be hearing a knock on the door my friend 3 angry buyers claiming their money back for you misleading them with your advert". "your bubble's gonna burst lmao". Thats when he replied with the comments above. What a tool

Even he has 160 sales . I know its small but how on earth can he retain 100% seriously. Pulling stunts like that lols

I am amazed I typed in £1 error in the listings and was returned 41,965 hits. I think that says it all about ebay policing policy. I'll take the 965 as a realistic figure

You will enjoy this. I got so fed up with seeing New £1 error misprint 2017 dated with wrong date 2016 I had to contact a few of the sellers and politely educate them some of the replies made me laugh. Did this guy contradict himself by saying he is not a scammer? What a lovely person you are! This advert was created when on the day of the release when I got 10 of them, I read only a few days prior that a "few" (200,000) coins had be "misprinted" with the date 2016, as it was released a while ago yes it turns out the media was wrong there are millions of these however does that make me a scammer, it's an advert, you don't have to buy!As your the only busy body to "report" the add I highly doubt eBay will be bothered.Forgot The ad was there! Bet your glad you wasted your time letting me know! Spent 7 off them and sold 3 for £150 each you ain t burst no bubble ? YOU: Not rare not misprinted. All were dated 2016 just the release date was in 2017. Sorry to burst the bubble If he knew and he did that the information was wrong yet he still selling the coin @ £150 I think scammer befits his title I kept the most colourful parts of the convo out as there could be young eyes reading lol

That oxfam sale i posted a few days ago. the vendor contacted me and even after I explained about New and two penny coins. He said "well I was going by ebay prices some are over £200 I just went in with a reasonable figure" £21 for a 1971 or 81 I forget which reasonable? lols. I should of said check the sold button and look. But then again some poor sod probably got conned out of his hard earned. So it seems now charity shops have joined the rogue element of coin selling. What next the church? lol

you hit the nail on the head

Notice the edge photo's are slightly less focused and are bite marks all around it. Plus taken from the shallowest angle. This guy is a pictorial genius as in he knows what too and how to hide . Why no normal image?. Colour is just wrong if that is the normal colour. I think there should be a rule for pictures I think we all are fed up with the blurr,blob, photo shopped jobs?

57000 sales it's a disgrace ebay covers up all their bogus and shifty deals

How do these people maintain 99.8% feedback ratings when they try to fleece people with garbage like this VF at best . Seriously £671 lmao http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRITANNIA-GEORGIUS-III-D-G-REX-COPPER-CARTWHEEL-TWO-PENCE-COIN-1797-/182826539731

Downloaded it. Jesus im totally lost. No idea what to do. I'll pass lols

It's ok for me all pages are fine including census report

I would ask for his address and talk to him face to face. I bet he declines that offer as well . The oldest trick in the book. Use a picture of a proof coin which he probably stole from another site and send a crappy substandard coin in the post. Had same thing happen to me 3 times. But the pics were bad and the coins were worse

Bought this a few days ago just waiting for it to arrive through the post. Not listed as far as I am aware. Anyone have 1? 1864 Half Penny stop between H and A and it is a very prominent stop as well. Makes up for some indifferent buys lately

Now here is another anomaly It would appear that there are different types if we take the coin in the picture above to be the true open 3. This style is completely different to the known open 3's that have sold on LCA. Notice that the LCA coins the 3 is much more Squat but yet the forum coin open 3 is more open than the true open 3 and this does not have anything missing or any die fills. So again begs the question are we tied to thinking there is only 1 type or is it the case which I feel is obvious there are two different font 3's at least used and this variety appears on both? I notice also both LCA coins have overhang at the back of the 3 at top right

Very true. I just noticed on the bottom pic the "open" 3 pic there is a very thin die crack running through the angle of the downstroke. Could that make it appear to be a curve rather than a normal 3 with a kink in it?

sorry didn't see your reply lol rob

I'll use simple logic. Just because all the known open 3's have for want of a word share the same characteristics and when described in all of LCA "the downward stroke curves" as opposed to a normal 3 downward stroke is straight. However why was it called an open 3 to start with? Obviously because the tip of the downward stroke in relation to the bottom curved serif at its extremity or the "gape" between two fixed points. I have until that ebay coin like most of us only seen two types the traditional gape which has an over exaggerated bottom half moon curve leaving a small gape and the open 3 with the wider gape and curved downstroke. But here's the thing it's open because of the gape and the ebay coin has the largest gape of all so whilst it might not be the traditional open 3 it still warrants inclusion as either a new style of open 3,Short serif at the bottom 3 or the open 3 we are only recognising becomes irrelevant ?. Say I owned that coin and I sent it to be classified and I already owned an open 3 and I can clearly see that the ebay coin is far more open than the one I have the true open 3 as we know of at the moment. If they just graded it as a normal 3 I would be pretty ticked off. If it's more open regardless of what the downstroke looks like it's open. Pretty much black or white. Call it a subvariety if you will but for all intent of purpose is it not an open 3? The logical argument says it is just a different style

Actually to be fair the Top coin from ebay is more open than the open 3 . I would say a subvariety . Otherwise you can't call an open 3 an open 3 . Just throwing it in the mix
