to me its looks mis shaped, most of my milled coins are more circular, with this one I would appreciate any opinions the 1692 looks .......wonky ? would this have been turned out this way or happened through circulation? -
A lot of the fakes are described as silver (they are not) they are base metal but it could be another way of making it difficult to these sellers by reporting them
-
Sorry for being basic: 1. Would a fake silver coin still at least be silver? I'm aware of the fake bullion coins that are at best silver plated. 2. Are ordinary pre-1920 silver coins from say William IV to GV faked very often? I mean the ones once in general circulation (Crown down to Threepence). 3. Can anybody name UK auction houses that are best avoided by proven personal experience? -
@Chris Perkins as an asides, do you rate Invision higher than, say, Discourse? [I'm interested in creating my own small forum for something unrelated to numismatics or even collecting altogether]
-
Yep. Just to clarify: I meant the advantage of keeping the Chinese listings up, is that you know where they are. If the Chinese stopped selling direct, they'd pass them to UK sellers (as this thread seems to show here and there), who aren't always obvious. I'm no expert but even l can spot a fake hammered coin here and there. But some of the artificially patinated coins on this thread are a real eye opener. Disturbing.
