Ebay's Worst Offerings

He's just posted his photos...  Afraid it doesn't look good.

[Peter 615]

Tell him to put in the next DNW so they can tell him the good news.

Clive, I would love to see his pictures.

[Paulus 1,942]

Clive may have meant that the seller had now added his own pics to the listing

At least the seller admits that it's contempory forgery which is more than most would.

Nice bit of history. If I was a Charlie fanatic (aka TG) I would want that.

Some monkey on ebay has knocked off the copy to one of my items, word for word. I can't report it through the normal ebay channels because my listing is on Etsy.

Pardon my ignorance but what's Etsy please?

It's a selling website catering in the main for hand crafted items, but it does have a Vintage section for anything over 25 years old. A hell of a lot of coin sellers use it as insertion fees are only $0.20 for three months and final value fees only 3.5%.

At less than £25 each, I think the buyer will make more than that by selling them individually. There's no con involved here. The only sanity issue is how much the purchasers of the individual pieces pay looking in the future. You see single copies selling for a three figure sum on occasion - now that's worthy of a or a

Amazing what people collect. A 10 yr old in the 60's collecting dates from circulation?

One of my pet hates are so called "premium eBay seller" who try to rip people off. This one is koscoins claiming that his 1687/6 James II shilling is actually with M over G in MAG. The reverse error is a pretty noticeable error as i've had one of these a few years back, the funny thing is, when he bought it from Londoncoins there was no mention of the REV legend error although they have sold a couple and know of the error.

So just another eBay seller trying to make a few more bucks instead of just selling the coin as he bought it.......The next post is the actual coin that's for sale on eBay and the Londoncoins sale coin......
