yes I do think this is how it happens.  The sad thing is the degree to which slab buyers depend on it as gospel.  

Time to give up collecting if you cannot buy a copy of peck or work out if a coin is a genuine mule or not.

I have listed this because it obviously is not a Mule and yet the NGC seem to have mislabelled it as beaded one side toothed the other ...sorry about any confusion it is listed on ebay 

And they get paid good money for mistakes like this ?

They should be in ten downing street

Well they have arrived after three weeks or so not the seven days  - I hope anyone else using this service has the same experience .

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE - I had no choice but send the stamps up the only other thing I could have done was use them all in the next three months.

Its getting harder and harder to leave bad feedback , mainly because ebay hate it because it means there are unhappy customers on their site.

They make it harder and harder so in the end people either cannot or willnot leave bad feedback.

In effect they are only fooling themselves by masking the problem

[POST bandits]

About three weeks ago a leaflet came through the post with all details about how !st and second class stamps have to be used by the end oof the year .

Having built up a little collection of first class stamps over the last three years or so (84 stamps to be exact)

I thought about this for a while and in the end decided to send off my stamps to be changed into new ones.

BAD CALL PETER , it promised on the leaflet that my stamps would be with me in a week (that was three weeks ago)  and I have knowhere to complain to or to chase up my stamps.

I surpose the old post office would not have been any better , so things never change.

It really does annoy me that companies like this hold you too ransom then apparently steal their own product back

I will of course keep you up to date and apogise if the stamps arrive  - i really think the high street post offices should have been given this job

The world is full of people who have no useful skills.

They are, however, very good at 'having opinions' so they are noticed, but only when saying things that are controversial or simply untrue.

People then spend time trying to win logical arguments with them, giving them the oxygen of publicity they need.

 

So, the best policy is to ignore them.

u mean trolls don't you?

Or that what young people call them

Here's a nice 1673 one ex Noble Numismatics auction 3 or 4 years ago. They didn't notice it either.Looks like something going on with with the r on the obverse as well

 

[BMC 525 Farthing - looking for a very rough valuation]

I agree while the charles II series has been very popular over the last twenty years its mostly been the silver and gold, coppers have been left out in the cold a bit - the exception is high grade  halfpence and good attractive farthings .

Unfortunately error and mistake  coins have never really joined the party not sure why I surpose its because its always been a niche market  . Ie everyone wants a high grade charles II as a type coin  but few specialise in the more interesting errors

Lot 1341, the 1806 proof farthing struck in gold, took my eye. 

I assume a KF15, 1392 - described as "excessively rare". Nice. 

MMMMMM    nice

[Thanks NHS]

A big thank you to everyone in the NHS  and spa medica after my sucessful eye cateract operation which means  fantasticly inproved  sight .

While I am not prepared to say I will never need glasses again , it is a posibility..

I strongly suspect cateract operations might be subject to charges as there are so many people getting them now 

Many colours are much enhanced and I am sure in a week or to my coins will be as well .

Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 (MH17/MAS17) was a scheduled passenger flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur that was shot down on 17 July 2014, while flying over eastern Ukraine. All 283 passengers and 15 crew were killed.
...
Malaysia Airlines Flight 17.

Shootdown
Passengers	283
Crew	15
Fatalities	298
Survivors	0

Why was Malaysian Airline shot down?

 

 

 

 

Flight MH17 was shot down over Ukraine in July 2014, by what has been determined to be a Russian-made missile launcher fired by Russian-backed rebels. Relatives of the 298 people who died when Malaysian Airlines flight 17 was shot down have accused Russia of lying about its role in the incident.6 Sept 2021

Odds on Russia invading a country on its borders would never have been that high  - dont you remember when they poisoned zelinsky with novichok and shot down that passenger plane over ukraine and killed 280 passengers all the time blameing ukraine for it .

they have been building up a war chest for a while unfortunately

[If, a year ago, you walked into Ladborokes...]

$1.04 is a bit exact isn't it ?

how would you collect the bet ? After all its $1.06 today does that mean you have a losing bet? Or can you collect on the exact day it reaches $1.04 and what happens if thats during the night when the bookies are shut , can you claim even though its gone up and you have not stated the day the pound will reach this low level..?

Lots of ifs and buts on this bet

I do wonder what would be a good or even defensive investment today. Inflation is sky high, sterling is rock bottom, FTSE is not doing well and a (possibly long and ugly) recession is just around the corner. 

Starting an arms factory and selling to Russia and the middle east would probably be very lucrative

[Little coins big prices]

Exactly thats why i said sovs were a better investment  the best investment over time from the 1972 -73 era was definately shares
