Oh, er, on second thoughts, I couldn't help but do so... Dickheads.

    UK Election

    Absolutely Chris. I came here six or seven years ago thinking I'd found my tribe. It's now all rather depressing. Where are those regulars who made this such a fun place to swap ideas and comments? My tribe? Nah.

    MS 63 ?

    The images I posted here are the Eddie 2/6 which is being discussed in this topic. The email I refer to was sent our usual mates chat and has nothing to do with this Pre D stuff. Check in, I'm up for a while yet.

    MS 63 ?

    Yes, that's the OP coin Chris. Graded MS63. Other news: I sent you an email yesterday. Bargain of the week?

    At it again I see…. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WOW-BREXIT-AND-RONALDO-MICRO-INSCRIPTION-POLYMER-FIVE-POUND-NOTES-x2/123951517239?hash=item1cdc160e37:g:S3kAAOSwvGtdoJlg
  10. Coppers, my apologies, a post reading simply 'Er….?' made no sense. I was responding to your comment regarding estate collections and wondering if I'd missed some important information on here. I see now you were just making a general point, and it's one with which I would concur.

    Clumsiest example I've ever seen. Couldn't even be bothered to match the portraits. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Scarce-double-headed-penny-George-V/283636549584?hash=item420a0e47d0:g:sqEAAOSwqZNdm9dO

    Nose job ("I'll have 'The Pixie' please.") and false lashes.

    You would think, by now, he'd at least know what a dump farthing looks like. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/George-Farthing-1717-Unrecorded-Last-7-Inverted-RARE/233359054885?hash=item3655489825:g:YVMAAOSwfttdlj9C

    …and a new listing from the same seller. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1841-Victorian-Half-Crown-Good-Condition/174035014567?hash=item28854b93a7:g:z~8AAOSw4RBdgmH8

    Late 1960s: I found this in the street.
  17. As already stated, a normal 63 with grot on the last digit. Here for comparison: normal/the 3 with grot/the 3 with grot erased.

    Sorry to be a bother people, but I really felt I needed to come back in with this one. VF WTF???? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1863-PENNY-BRITISH-COIN-FROM-VICTORIA-VF/362715235474?hash=item5473834492:g:ggwAAOSwul9dQvps

    I thought I might dip in to see if Buckscoins gradings had improved during the past week or two. I didn't yet get past the first listing. aEF? Dear me. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1858-PENNY-BRITISH-COIN-FROM-VICTORIA-aEF/202747462453?hash=item2f34b0c335:g:BL0AAOSwy1ZdSWlX

    £11,000? What a lightweight….. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Extremely-Rare-2p-New-Pence-Coin-1971-Old-Original/383122593338?hash=item5933e2d63a:g:-~cAAOSw0w5dZAKE I love that this div is offering £1.50 P&P on a 56 grand listing.

    I just love this. Good old Iris. If you're in need of cheering up the seller's other offerings are worth a squint too: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/boutiqueunique2015/m.html?item=362689455958&hash=item5471f9e756%3Ag%3All0AAOSw2jFceerJ&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 Oh, and check out the top item in seller feedback. Clearly bollocks, but is this kind of lying also illegal? https://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=boutiqueunique2015&ftab=FeedbackAsSeller&ftabfocus=true&searchInterval=30

    What's this price guide she's using? If her 1887s are 'sitting' at these valuations then lord knows what everything else must be valued at. We all must be holding riches beyond our wildest imaginings... First thing tomorrow morning I shall swap my inverted 1 1820 sixpence for a winged unicorn (unipegasus?), just because I can afford to, then flutter about showering the hoi polloi with the beneficence which would be my half-chewed Greggs vegan sausage rolls. Er, no rubbish mind, we're talking king size here. Make sure you're up and out early...
