No, it only checks if your account has been compromised.

Here's a fun link for you lot;

It'll tell you if your email address have ever been compromised and sometimes where as well.

[British 1916 Old One penny]

It does look like a typical counterstamp on a worn coin, you can find many similar on ebay.

There are some rare counterstamps so I cannot comment on the type of stamp it is but it was very common practice for anyone to do this so I don't think it's going to be worth anything. Happy to be corrected.

Indeed this type of doubling is an error and not a variety as it isn't purposeful, it attracts a premium on coins in the US but nothing on UK coins.

I quite like it though!

Hi, I have a 1916 penny but it has a letter R in a box stamped on it? I've taken it to an antiques where I'm from and he suggested it's a rejected coin and very rare!? Have you ever heard of this before? 

I will get pictures tomorrow for you .

thanks

 

Sounds like a counter stamped coin, which anyone can do so not as rare as maybe the dealer alluded to. Pictures would be good.

The inside is gold, what's the outside? 

Silver.

AU = gold & AG = silver (written on the border)

What you mean literally photographs the screen? That's plain odd.

Why not just take a screenshot?

For example, and another example.

Yeah, just bizzare.

Although a very nice coin, I think the vendor may be somewhat ambitious with the price he's asking.

That guy's prices are always very high. Same guy that takes pictures of pictures on his computer screen to use in the listing, which baffles me.

Hi and welcome Vegas!

It's customary to show off a few of your favourite coins from your collection, get up a couple of pictures for us to see

"according to the LCGSValuations By Grade." i.e. their valuations and not Spink's. Rather unfortunately their valuations are sometimes way over the top. Some of the coins I slabbed with CGS in the past  were given CGS values of three times what I paid. And to be fair to them, they do occasionally give realistic values.

Likewise I believe these to be recuts and not numbers over numbers

i have an english half penny 1937 with two sides idenically clipped , has anyone heard of this hapoening before the coin has hit two straight edges 

Do you have a picture to show? Not quite sure what you mean..

[Spanish Pesetas]

Flan errors, striking errors, anything really. At this point any error coin would help!

[1985 silver proof coin]

..and you seemed to have forgotten how to use any type of dictionary/spell check. Although I admire your shortcut to get around the problem of having to work out how to spell cupronickel.

[Spanish Pesetas]

A bit of a longshot but does anyone have any pesetas that have any type of error on? I don't even necessarily want to buy it, although I will if you want to sell it, I just need some good quality pictures.

Thanks

Where can you view photos of coins in the catalogue without photos ? - There are a few coins I am interested in that don't have pics.

In person in London. They might email you a picture if you ask nicely.
