    I can't find it. Where should I be looking?

    1861 Penny anything there?

    Oh, that. Well I can see a mark now you've pointed it out.

    I don't see any of what you suggest.

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    Just cleaned and a bit horrible for me.

    I've got a few bits and I quite like them, so yes. Not into notes though. That's quite a large collection.

    The one on the right looks ok to me. The other one, not so much.

    That's the thing, isn't it? It's all in the wrong place. Think Ian's suggestion is a good candidate.

    That doesn't explain the top of the Queen's head and some of the edge lettering present within the hole though.

    I don't know unfortunately Ian. It's not mine and I've only seen the one side. Edit: Normal.

    Righto then, who's going to tell me what on earth went on here?
  14. Is this another similar fault? I don't think it's post mint.

    Well I thought we'd peaked, but apparently not: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1965-One-Penny-Hand-Enamelled/352198403619?hash=item5200a92623:g:2j0AAOSwX9FZGFUP

    Well that's no issue. Send it back at their expense, not as described. Leave appropriate feedback.

    Pennies High grade.

    Great serial number.
  18. Good old ebay. £5.99 all in.

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    I had been thinking that we should have an "ebay's best offerings" thread. It's not all bad.

    Just as well. You can't be my friend on Faceache unless you've been round my house for a cup of tea.

    Then you should speak up. It's always going to happen: Q: "What's this worth?" <Hmmm, I'd like to buy that> A: "Scrap mate. Fiver tops." <Hmmm, I've no interest in that> A: "Twenty quid mate."

    Is it wrong to be slightly tempted? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Defaced-1905-Edward-VII-Penny-with-what-looks-like-an-Owl-on-Skis/132381311148?hash=item1ed28a80ac:g:1m8AAOSwy0JZ7dH4

    I wouldn't have an issue if it was described as a fantasy, but it isn't.

    I thought the same about this one. The dot, although very weak (and if it is even a dot), does seem to be in exactly the right place. If it's a result of die degradation, it probably starts small, right?
