oh dear lol

Indeed. Looks like that angle grinders been busy again ?

[declan03 149]

Gosh, i,m sure my neighbour has an angle grinder. We're going to be busy tomorrow! !

Thanks Stu.

It does make me wonder if I shouldn't be taking a hammer / chisel / anvil / grinder to my nice £1s to make some errors. There are some seriously stupid people out there. 

[Ukstu 436]

Crazy isn't it. People paying silly money for coins wacked with an axe or whizzed with a grinder. Common sense tells you it's deliberate damage. I just cannot understand the mentality of these buyers. A fool and his money are quickly parted.

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

I'm not buying that one, it's covered in hairlines so it must have been cleaned.

 

[declan03 149]

Lmao, its as good as it gets. Hope it fits in the Asda trolleys now!!

I've reported a number of items all from the same seller as he's attempting to pass them off as genuine coins.

Ha ha, yes indeed. That was quick, wasn't it. Item descriptions have been revised and now include the words 'genuine facsimiles'.

'Genuine facsimiles'?!?!

Could be the beginning of a whole new field of collecting and research.

No doubt end up as individual lots on eBay that bunch.

Lord Westair shilling here. George III. Ain't seen one of these before.

Can anyone tell me the difference between a rare 1880 Queen Victoria young head florin and an old head florin, they all look the same in my book.

Thanks.

One of my favourite sellers has listed an 1871 Penny 

Pisses me off as he knows its Fake.

Yes.......

[Michael-Roo 777]

 

Surely mass reporting is called for then, otherwise a couple of eager novices may bid each other up to silly money.

Highly suspicious one ere. Has that heart shape on it the Lizzys have. It doesn't look right either.

Definitely dodgy - I've sent the seller a message and reported it.
