This one came up as a suggested alternative to the link above

1918 penny different rock

looks like a interesting filled die to me, but don't think I'll be shelling out £199.99 to examine it more closely.

He just has a problem with decimal points - obviously missed the one between the 5 and the 0.

Or the one between the £ and the 5 ...

Oh come on! It's a £2 coin, so a rip off would be £5 not £0.5 surely.

English is this seller's second language. From the sentence structure and syntax, it's likely he thinks in arabic/persian.

[TomGoodheart 400]

The blurb is sort of amusing.

But it bemuses me that people don't seem to be able to work out how to turn an image around so the coin is the right way up. That I find irritating!

[Nordle11 564]

Yeah that really is a pain in the derrière

[scott 144]

not as annoying as ebay suddenly changing all the drop down box options down

[HistoricCoinage 146]

Very rare because it's unresearched...

I love the seller's grade on this one

"Smooth grade, however please see for yourself as everyone grades a little differently"

Somewhat disturbingly, if you click on the link to ebay, at the bottom of the page eBay brings up a few suggestions that you might be interested in. Top row is a run of smooth worthless pennies.

An intelligent promotional system would realise that I am not interested in crap. It should be able to make a connection between crap descriptions, not pictured items. That would also reduce the number of options available - washers are everywhere, but amusingly described washers are considerably scarcer.

a new grade has been born smooth grade.

I wonder if in time we'll get variants of said grade, smoooth grade being good smoooth and smooooth grade being Near smoooooth

But we already do. M(ostly) S(mooth) with variants being from 60 -70(%) on said deficiency.

Oh dear are we starting to get fakes of rare bronze now?

this is a rare coin with a mintage of just 250,000, and poor survival rate in the tropics - but this 4 Bese of Italian Somalia has to be cast surely

a real one in high grade here

[Rob 3,152]

The listing certainly has a 'recently manufactured' look about it.

If it is that rare, it should be possible to tie coins to past sales. i.e. provenance (yet again)

[azda 979]

Hmmmmm Mr buckscoins is being economical with the truth AND at quite an expense

http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/311441604610

And the same coin with a slightly better description and price of £300 hammer

I have noticed that quite a number of his stated over-dates are 'unclear' at best ...

V.E. III's coins are the most falsificate in Italy because there are a lot of collectors and in genaral have high prices .. However It's strange because this coin is rare but not too muchu

Well if Londons can't determine it, how can he, they normally scrutinise everything. Here's the one I got, seems a lot more clearer to me, hence the reason I found his eBay auction then the Londons one
