Yes, I'd noticed but it wasn't really and issue. Having to steal the girlfriend's ipad is though...
-
The thing is Jerry, I can't. I'm on a PC, and not all sellers have the zoom function enabled, so that's all I can see. Clicking on the picture doesn't open it up. I don't know if it's the same on a tablet or phone? Edit: I can see the picture if I use the ipad...

Looks ok (albeit cleaned) to me. Polish poltorak (3 polker). Cheap as chips and plenty around.
-
Even so Richard, that one's a bit of a horror. I'm convinced that this is another.
-
When was the sale Mike? Some of those prices were incredible - £500 for the F164a that looks fire damaged or something? Someone must have really wanted that one.
-
Who graded the Crocker F175 as Fine then?
-
Thanks Mike.
-
Can you still see the Crocker sale? Can't find it on Colin Cooke's site.

Penny Acquisition of the week

Only the second one I've seen where the top of the ear is still intact (the other being the far superior one Terry found), although no doubt there are plenty I haven't seen. Chuffed to bits, and the seller included a free halfpenny too. -
Mine's 28.4g. I can't tell what's off with the ebay one either. I guess people are bidding to resell as genuine.

I can't believe I've had it in hand and didn't notice until I took a photo of it. I've probably looked at every ebay picture you have...and I've got to start again now!
-
You're not wrong. And I need my eyes tested, mine's a F174.
-
Court's survey suggests that they should account for about 1.4% of the population, but finding them even in low grade is surprisingly hard.

I've been looking for a while now Mike, and have only found one washer so far:
-
I didn't even know that one existed.
-
Click this bit. It's very far from obvious.
-
That's me out then. Pete says I should concentrate on better quality, not rang.
-
From his site:
-
You must be chuffed with that Mike, it looks beautiful.
-
Generous of you Mike, but I'd say he knows exactly what he's doing.
-
Neither is a genuine first issue. Fewer lines across the body is a giveaway.
-
Being Mr Tod the Fox, Samuel Whiskers and Tommy Brock. If you care.
-
Thanks Richard. Another gap filled.
