    Look at the obverse and the Queens eye also. Clearly a fake.
  2. To echo what Jaggy said, please keep us up to date Neil. The prices and lay out of the web store at Baldwins have always put me off so I am really pleased to hear you intend to address these in the near future.

    No it was not customs, it was the buyer. I wont deal with him again and will not ship to Canada or the US unless it is via a US friend.

    Just search for 'English coins' and 'predecimal' and the groups should pop up. I know most won't ship abroad. I had an awful experience with a Canadian on there a year or so back so will not ship over there. One or two will ship abroad such as Martin Platt.

    Andrew is on here. Ask him? I'm sure he will help.

    Facebook coins

    One of the bad things about Facebook is the sellers end the auctions at the time on their PC. There can be lag. You can bid and be the last bidder on your screen but not on theirs. This really is a problem if there are a lot of people bidding. Just because you think you are the last bidder isn't always the case.

    It depends what you are after and if you sort through the dross and decimal coinage on there. I picked this shilling up for £16 via an auction format. Bargains are very very rare but they do crop up.

    Spot on. I have had some nice stuff off Facebook but there is a lot of dross to trawl through.

    My lad just turned 8 and wants to do exactly the same, make videos of him playing games and talking about it. I have tried to explain to him why, at 8 years old, I am not prepared to pet him do it.

    Storage of sixpences in lighthouse capsules

    The foam has some give in it so if you are 0.5mm out the coin will, fit just very snugly.

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/gds/Selecting-the-Correct-Size-Standard-Lighthouse-Coin-Capsule-/10000000178714172/g.html This is generally a good guide regarding which quadrum to go for.

    CGS v LCGS

    Has anyone used CGS since the name change etc? I have a few coins I want to slab but PCGS are expensive for what I want grading. Are the turn around times better? Do the grading standards match up to what they were pre changes? I would welcome any feedback before I decide to join. Higher grade CGS slabbed coins still seem to be selling well on ebay.

    Small collection of half sovereigns - selling?

    If you can get decent quality pictures posted on here Cath there are plenty of people who can give you some guidance on the grade
  14. Hi all, Is there any way to distinguish between a sterling 1920 threepence and a debased 1920 threepence? Thanks Non
  15. Thank you all for the input. It sounds like a dark art to distinguish the two...

    Have you looked at AWS? Where I work, we are an authorised AWS reseller. I know that they used to do a media hosting service. It may be worth looking into AWS S3.

    They just need to read the one negative feedback to understand what he is doing.... he is making a killing with these!

    groat grabbing

    I'm new to this so at the moment I am digging every signal. The 400 has iron audio. So it 'grunts' if it thinks the target is iron. I can discriminate iron out if I want to.

    groat grabbing

    The 400 was picking up a piece of iron wire about 6mm in length and no bigger than 1m width at a depth of abut 4" last week. I couldn't work out what was causing it to go off until I got the Carrott into the clod and found that tiny bit of wire.

    groat grabbing

    I bought a Garrett 400i and I am pleased with it so far. The Iron audio is a nice feature. No exciting finds yet but I have only done about 40 yards of a 7 acre permission
  22. I use Quadrum capsules for my better coins. The protect them, I can see both sides without handling the coin and they make trays to take them. The only thing you will struggle to see with them is the edge. They are not the cheapest but I like them. You can also easily remove the coin for photos etc uf needed.

    How fast will verdigris spread on slabbed silver coins

    Cheers Pete, that was zoomed in with my phone. The coin is very nice that tiny spot aside.

    How fast will verdigris spread on slabbed silver coins

    Rather than start a new thread I thought I would post here. I have a German Mark that is slabbed by PCGS that has the slightest pin prick of Verd on the reverse. It is not a high value coin being a 1914 D but would you break it out and treat it or leave it in the slab and see how it develops?
