Agreed. If I hadn't seen them all together I probably wouldn't have picked up on it.
-
They all have an extra bit of metal joining a leaf to the right hand edge on the reverse.
-
No, I think you could have.
-
You couldn't know the seller was "all at sea" until you contacted them. If they had decided the pull the listing and send to e.g. LCA for auction, Jerry would have lost out on a nice bargain. If the same happened to something you had your eye on, would you be happy?
-
Well, I guess that no-one "helpfully" informed the seller of what they had.
-
Not if they think they can get away without doing so they won't.
-
Just out of interest, why?

For Sale 1872 victoria gothic florin cgs slabbed 3 of 3 + others
mrbadexample replied to relaxcraft's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
There really isn't any need, or much point, unless you offer it at a reasonable price. You are probably well aware that you're not comparing like with like. The 1862 is one of <600 000. Your 1872 is one of >7 000 000. -
March 2018 LCA

I'll probably have my nose in a book too. -
Indeed.I think we can safely say that the entire article is a complete crock.
-
It's not that so much as the apparent belief that asking price = selling price.

I don't know the answer to your question Rob, but if it's any consolation I took a shufti at your site and don't see it. -
Thanks bagerap. It all becomes clear.

Coin Conservation / Restoration. Is it cleaning?

Fair point. -
Coin Conservation / Restoration. Is it cleaning?
mrbadexample replied to markflorida's topic in Free for all
A rose by any other name... It's cleaning. They call it "conservation" because cleaning sounds bad. I'm with your grandfather. But if there is a problem which is only going to get worse (e.g. verdigris, bronze disease, zinc pest) then I think intervention is necessary. After all, if you do nothing it will eventually destroy the coin. So what choice is there? -

mrbadexample replied to brg5658's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Same as mine. Although better nick, as usual! -
You're probably right Jerry, although it's the first one I've ever seen that had a convincing portrait.
-
Well it's definitely 1701. I can't help thinking that both the obverse and reverse look ok. Which would mean they're images from different coins. I suspect you'd be sent a gaming token that doesn't closely resemble either.
-
I don't know, I choose not to can't afford to collect 'em. But the monarch doesn't match the year...
-
What's this please? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ONE-OLD-BRITISH-COIN-DATED-1701-UNCATALOGUED-ENGLAND/263539255958?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649 I keep looking at it and thinking the portrait actually looks quite good.

Thank you. Which edge legend did you get? -

Not to mention the erroneous apostrophe - that was the only reason I bought mine. Never did find out why the hedgehogs though... -
The cynic in me would say it's nothing whatsoever to do with keeping historical items in their own country, but seeing the opportunity to generate some cash. If they really wanted to keep it, you wouldn't be able to buy it (legitimately).

1797 Fantasy (?) Penny

Not the same legend on the reverse though. -

mrbadexample replied to zookeeperz's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
Thanks. I didn't know about the farthing. I checked my collection but it didn't affect the numbers.
