    I picked up one from Dave Craddock in EF for £14. Happy with that.

    1934 Wreath Crown Fake or Genuine

    mrbadexample replied to 1934 Wreath Crown's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    Good luck mate, hope you get this satisfactorily resolved whether verified as genuine or refunded.
  3. mrbadexample
    Does that mean I don't have to spend the weekend looking at it every 5 minutes?
  4. mrbadexample
    I'd have been very happy with it for £8. Think I went to £14 before throwing the towel in.
  5. mrbadexample
    I was the first bidder because I thought it was a decent example and cheap. Now it's not cheap and I'm out.
  6. mrbadexample
    I might have a bid on that 1964 error.
  7. mrbadexample
    The one I really wanted was way over my limit at the lowest estimate. Tough to bid again. <sob>
  8. mrbadexample
    Neil's ever so friendly. Keeps emailing me. Outbid again, this time on the one I really wanted.

    Ones that got away

    mrbadexample replied to Colin G.'s topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    Ah, so it was the 5 berries bit that wasn't attributed, not the mule? Just shows there are bargains to be had out there. One day I might get one.

    1934 Wreath Crown Fake or Genuine

    mrbadexample replied to 1934 Wreath Crown's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    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?

    CGS "membership" Fee

    mrbadexample replied to Sword's topic in TPG Discussions

    Their website is currently down. One would hope it's crashed under the volume of complaints.

    CGS "membership" Fee

    mrbadexample replied to Sword's topic in TPG Discussions

    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.

    CGS valuations

    mrbadexample posted a topic in TPG Discussions

    Hi all, I was just wondering if CGS ever update their valuations. I.e. if a coin was slabbed 5 years ago and given a value of £100, will this be the same value given if I go and check the coin in 5 years time, regardless of the fluctuations in the market? Is it possible to determine when a coin was slabbed and valued? Surely, if it remains the same it's all largely pointless? Thoughts appreciated. Cheers, MBE

    You've probably got most of them anyway. I had great difficulty narrowing it down to about 8.
  16. mrbadexample
    Just don't buy it in the first place eh?
  17. mrbadexample
    I really like the 1797 pattern. Not enough to spring 1k plus for it though. I keep getting outbid notices.
  18. mrbadexample
    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
  19. mrbadexample
    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.
  20. mrbadexample
    Well I had to raise my sights as the 1967 didn't appear for sale.
  21. mrbadexample
    I don't like the waiting. I've got to sit here for a week hoping that Pete doesn't want what I want.
  22. mrbadexample
    I did wonder if you had anything to do with that Nordle.

    1806 farthing - variety?

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

    I just use Paint to resize them, or you could post a link to them maybe? I'd like to have a look.
  24. mrbadexample
    £3 I think.
  25. mrbadexample
    Which auction? That was my one chance of owning a Copthorne.
