Can't see half the shield. Must be a very scarce coin for £450 in that condition

[Coinery 926]

I'd to know what he has in mind as his lowest offer? What a coin!

[Coinery 926]

I guess to make my above sentence 'grammatically' correct, the iFault kindly removed the word 'like' for me? Thanks iFault, it reads so much better now! Grrrr!

[azda 973]

Its now at £450, it was £600 when i posted the ebay number. I offered him £25 but thank god he rejected it

[Coinery 926]

Haven't seen this one before!

It's obvious, but another date to be cautious with, especially when accompanied by a poor set of images.

A genius!

Cheap coin with 90 mins to go. Being sold by Alan from MHCOINS. 27 watchers, so it may still rise

Well, maybe not.

Definitely makes sense as a space filler, seller has made a couple of unimportant mistakes in attribution but otherwise excellent.

[Coinery 926]

Puts a smile on the ole kisser, don't it just?

proof (like) UNC supposedly

Beats me someone with such good feedback can call a coin with cuts on the cheek and verd at the lettering UNC and prooflike.

Half tempted to send him this (http://www.atlasnumismatics.org/1015220.jpg) as ref to what prooflike should be and this (http://www.atlasnumismatics.org/1017218.jpg) for bronze proof. However considering he might be guilty of deliberate misrepresentation I fail to see the point.

"Might be guilty"? Mr P 9 times out of 10 generally is guilty of overgrading and a spot of cleaning. A lot of the silver looks lifeless due to dipping for far too long.

You should go through this thread, you'll see his name mentioned quite a lot

[Chingford 166]

If you look closely, you can still see some threads on the coin from its last clean

[Paulus 1,942]

He is also promoting this on Facebook, stating it is 'close to uncirculated' ... he definitely DOES know better!

'Choice uncirculated' are the words he uses! Now I think it probably is quite a high grade, especially when looking at the rims but, that ain't no shimmering lustred tone to support the grade, that's a manky old lustre-less tone, with verd and ugliness abounding!

Not a coin being sold by an honourable man, no doubt about that!

[azda 973]

The man himself

[Paulus 1,942]

The one on the right?

[azda 973]

Lol, i'm not gonna say much. How's your CGS coins coming along Paul? Mine was at finalising grade yesterday and now pending attribution today. No pictures of it on their website
