    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    Well to be fair, I've never seen one like that before so it must be rare. And I'm willing to bet you haven't got one!

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    I don't even understand why it's being sold. I'd take one look at that auction and automatically disregard every other item the seller has. Even if it is some kind of Polish pharmaceutical product.

    Or you need a new button for your donkey jacket.

    I'd need to know if they were contemporary or a later addition. Makes this nice grade coin look not so bad after all. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1918KN-GEORGE-V-BRITISH-PENNY-COIN-NICE-GRADE-SCARCE-/161953571211?hash=item25b52f618b:g:8UIAAOxyZzlTdUmX

    Cheers. I might have been wondering if I knew that was a thing.

    That sounds like I have to do homework.

    Just out of interest, can you tell me what causes the strike doubling?

    Oh, and the Spink guide I have is 2005 and I'm still using it. Nothing's changed, right?

    Could you let me know what you have available and what you would want for them please? Then I could take a look and have a think about it? I don't mind not haggling if your prices are firm. Although I might still try.

    I don't seem to be able to edit my original post (is there a time limit on that or something?) so updated requirements above.

    Err...a quick question on etiquette if I may...should one's haggling be done off the general forum?
  14. mrbadexample

    Date run of pennies, about 1903-1927

    That's kind, thank you. I could let you give it to me. Seriously though, the price would have to be pretty keen as UNC is probably a bit better than I'd be looking for in that date.

    Well, as it happens, me please!

    Just put them on the table to take the photo, that'll be fine. But spacing rings...now you're talking!

    Yup. That. Where's the dislike button?

    That's a great job. Even looks to have aligned the screw heads too which shows it's a proper job. Although I prefer them horizontal myself.

    And Gary, that is one lovely bit of kit. I covet it. Nice to hear that Peter will make / modify to your specifications.

    This! This bothers me - it's not right and gets on my OCD nerves! ?

    It's the eternal dilemma - more coins or something to put them in. ? By the way, I have been admiring your rapid work so far - some very nice half crowns you've got there. ?

    That's not as easy as you make it sound. Internal diameter 20mm has an outside diameter of 26mm. Although I'm being a bit of a pedant - your point is that there would be some sort of acceptable workaround. Having said that, I can't see any spec on the depth of a capsule, and the drawers have a 6mm capacity which I suspect may not be deep enough.

    Errr...not entirely. As in I haven't really got any. The trays are on top of the bookcase.

    I didn't think the green from a PCV wallet or album was the same as verdigris? I thought it was due to the chlorine leaching out from the PVC over a number of years?
