Surely this is a modern replica or forgery??
mrbadexample replied to Martinminerva's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I've often thought about doing just that. Win the auction, give it a couple of hours then send the seller a message saying "I'm terribly sorry but I can't go through with this transaction as I've since been advised that it's fake." I don't see how ebay could take any action against you, although you might be limited in the number of times you'd get away with the same trick. Perhaps we should take it in turns? -
I can no longer edit my first post, but it should now read: I need 1: wrestling. Big thanks to Paddy and Will.
-
Will I'd be chuffed to bits. Can you let me know what you want for postage and PM me some payment details please?
-
Ahh...like that. I take it there was no satisfactory resolution?
-
Brilliant Paddy, yes please. Can you PM me some payment details?
-
It would be nice to have the full set but the decimals just don't interest me enough to pay more than face value for them (although I might pay £1 when I only need one more). Most of them are still in sufficiently good nick. They'll all turn up in due course, I'm sure. I got given the football one last week.
-
Why did they get them at face value? Surely it was you that made the decision to sell at that price?

Indeed so, as well as 1813. -

Hardly worth the bother. I report most things I see on here but they never disappear. ebay don't care what it is, only that it sells and they make money. -

The unslabbed one certainly doesn't look the same as the slabbed one. -
Penny reverse ID please.

Spot on Jerry. -

I found it interesting that Bramah also notes the design was originally intended for a cartwheel halfpence, hence the curved base. -

Here we go then. All happy with F20? -
You might be right Paddy but we do also like a challenge!

Amazing how one person accumulates so many rare errors. He needs a bloody good slap to be honest. The fact that he's managed to get some slabbed is astonishing, and really doesn't look good for LCGS.
-
Actually, that works too.
-
At least you know that if you send something to me you'll never see it again!
-
No, I haven’t! I’ve got a few more gaps you haven’t filled for me yet...
-
Me please Pete, unless there’s a more deserving cause!

No pitting, just marks like something's evaporated from the surface, like water marks on your shower screen for want of a better analogy. -

5 incuse gunports, P1248. I couldn't help humming the Captain Pugwash tune while I sorted the photo out. Incidentally, what do you make of the mottled surface? The coin has a few oily colours and I wondered if it had been dipped in a solvent of some sort (petrol?). It's a shame because it's a good 'un apart from that. -

It'll probably be Monday before I see this thing. Postie will attempt delivery tomorrow, I will be out, he will take it back to the post office etc... -
