  1. Is that something you can elaborate on VS? I would appreciate any help in spotting fakes, although it's unlikely I'll ever have enough spare cash for the 1934. I've had a look at the photos on the other forum too, and whilst I can't pretend I really know what I'm looking at, I note two areas that might be a sign of casting. The crack above the E and the slightly grainy edge as per these pictures - am I on the right track?
  2. Their website is currently down. One would hope it's crashed under the volume of complaints.
  3. What do you think they'll do if there are no "elite" members and no-one's using them any more? I can't for the life of me see what they're trying to achieve.
  4. You've probably got most of them anyway. I had great difficulty narrowing it down to about 8.
  5. Just don't buy it in the first place eh?
  6. I really like the 1797 pattern. Not enough to spring 1k plus for it though. I keep getting outbid notices.
  7. I got an email from Neil yesterday morning as he was aware (somehow) that not all of the bids I'd tried to place had been registered. They're both showing now.
  8. Well I had to raise my sights as the 1967 didn't appear for sale.
  9. I don't like the waiting. I've got to sit here for a week hoping that Pete doesn't want what I want.
  10. I did wonder if you had anything to do with that Nordle.
  11. I just use Paint to resize them, or you could post a link to them maybe? I'd like to have a look.
  12. Which auction? That was my one chance of owning a Copthorne.
  13. So mine is first bust with incuse dot? Is that still P1398?
  14. Just one of your nice magnification links will do please.
  15. What's happened to my 1967? Pete you said I could have it.
  16. I tried putting a couple of bids in last night but they didn't appear to be submitted for some reason. Do you get email confirmation or anything?
  17. Which might suggest this is one of those restrike thingies?
  18. Thanks Rob. I was confused about the K because I couldn't make it out on the photos on Colin's site. This has a K on the reverse. Do the others have a K both sides or just on the obverse?
  19. Afternoon all. Just trying to confirm whether this is P1398 with the incuse dot on the shoulder drapery. Sorry about the lousy photos. Thanks in advance. MBE
  20. I think it's the word "cartwheel" that sets 'em off.
  21. Yeah, I think it's right but surprised the weight is high when the example's in the smaller range for diameter. As you say though, could be an error. Monumental task is about right too - fantastic reference is Krause. Where do I sign up to the aforementioned forum?
  22. Something's not right. The weight doesn't fit.
  23. This is the correct Krause entry I think: I wouldn't know how to recognise the date though.
