I don't like this game.

. Sure you can find a better one Matt

1967....shouldn't take too long

It looks that way, he said 'Nice coin' and you went with 'No it's not', instead of something like 'Thanks, but...' Could have been a little more tact

Sorry it happened to you Brian i would of been pissed off not really about the coin / money just the principle. Keep smiling mate As far as the fakes no doubt people using a picture of a real one and sending out a copy.........Sad

It is the coin design that I find stunning, and for me that would be an amazing piece. If you find it so repugnant that you have to belittle another member who admires it and makes a nice comment then why have it. Surely you buy what you are happy with. I still say its a stunning coin, it has had a life and the design is breath taking. My own opinion for what that's worth of course!!!!!

I know I will get my money back so have no worries there. But just annoyed that I have been told to wait till the 15th then they can sort something out. He told me via the Ebay messaging service that he has already sold it and was suprised to see my message. I am not a bloody mind reader for idiots. My wife being who she is decided to look into the other seller who is now selling the same coin. He has actually used these pictures before and sold the coin at the end of September. He then split the pictures into 2 and relisted the same coin a few weeks later, and so on.... Don't know what the scam is but definately something a little dodgey going on there!

Somewhat ironically, it probably is a genuine rarity if the mintage figures of 100K or 200K for the real thing are to be believed. The Chinese will make them to order, and I suspect that levels have not yet reached the 100K mark.

1959 for me

P1046. This appears to be the first example to come to market since the mid-60s

Thank you for all the useful info BRG. I'm driving to IKEA now to get myself a couple of Jansjos, and hopefully I can start with trials this weekend.

Thanks for that little lesson in light diffusion, that was very informative

As others have said, definitely a Freeman 6, by far the commonest of the BB's. Grade? - for me, NVF.
