    Is it a fake £2 coin the Post Office gave me?

    mrbadexample replied to Adrian's topic in Beginners area

    Hi Adrian, just a picture of each side would probably serve better than a video.

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    mrbadexample replied to kuhli's topic in Free for all

    That was pulled quickly.

    It's our own fault. If we refused to use the ones that charge then they'd not bother making any more. I've never paid to get my own money out, and nor will I.

    I'm from Yorkshire. I'd be the one picking them up.
  5. mrbadexample
    Funny. You struck me as being older.
  6. mrbadexample
    Regardless of what cards may have been in my pocket, I would have told them that I had no other means of payment. Frankly, that's ridiculous.

    I did wonder who was getting carried away with that one, given the £400-500 estimate. Obviously the significance escaped me.

    Paddington 50p

    mrbadexample replied to craigy's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    I think that's the point. It's driving a market.

    Paddington 50p

    mrbadexample replied to craigy's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    I used to like our coinage. Not so much any more though. Once some thought went into what subject was worthy of a commemorative issue. Now it's all about what people will gush over and rush out to buy in its many differently minted forms.

    Edward (I?) Penny - Any ideas on the class/type?

    mrbadexample replied to Generic Lad's topic in British Hammered

    It's a teeny tiny minting defect with no significance whatsoever. It's still worth exactly £2, sorry.

    1797 2d

    mrbadexample replied to El Cobrador's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    It's good. Decent edges too, which is often a problem with these due to the weight - it only needs to be dropped once. The large size is due to the coin being made from 2d worth of copper - 2oz.

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    mrbadexample replied to kuhli's topic in Free for all

    Just another way to mask a seller’s history so you can’t see if they’ve been flogging fakes.

    mail tampering

    mrbadexample replied to zookeeperz's topic in Free for all

    I've seen on another forum where UK customs opened a packet to leave a scarce ½ dam like this:

    Am I wrong for liking this?

    mrbadexample replied to zookeeperz's topic in Free for all

    As soon as you add colour to a coin it ceases to be anything approaching my cup of tea.

    Grading a folder coin

    mrbadexample replied to DrP's topic in Free for all

    That 1917’s a really weak strike which may be misleading when it comes to grading.

    Grading a folder coin

    mrbadexample replied to DrP's topic in Free for all

    I’d grade the coin according to the level of wear, regardless of how it happened. Whether it’s from poor storage or circulation is irrelevant to me.

    7 Kilos of Johhny Foreigners

    mrbadexample replied to Unwilling Numismatist's topic in Enquiries about Non British coins

    Well it was a bit tongue in cheek but I’d happily work my way through them. I wouldn’t pay for them though.
  18. mrbadexample
    I have to have mine in Windows “Classic” mode or I can’t cope.

    7 Kilos of Johhny Foreigners

    mrbadexample replied to Unwilling Numismatist's topic in Enquiries about Non British coins

    Give them to me. I’ll do it. 🙂

    After countless prompts I eventually "updated" to Windows 10. I put it back to Windows 7 after about 10 minutes.
  21. mrbadexample
    It still might, I guess?
  22. mrbadexample
    I don't know how you could bear to part with that.

    Recent Hammered Acquisitions

    mrbadexample replied to Descartes's topic in British Hammered

    I've only opened one, but wrapping it in a tea towel to protect your hands and twisting it breaks it open quite nicely.

    Auction houses

    mrbadexample replied to zookeeperz's topic in Beginners area

    Don't buy them then.

    Minting Error Beatrix Potter Flopsy 50p 2018

    mrbadexample replied to mummyandmeblog's topic in Free for all

    Personally I think it's just poor quality rather than an error. If I wanted one at all I'd rather have an unflawed one. I could be wrong but suspect this post is just a plug for your ebay listing?
