Keep up the good work Stuart. I,ve also been reporting them when i see them on this thread. As you said, the more people reporting it the better. It also lets me see the dodgy coins before i jump in with 2 feet!!

Agreed. I think your probably spot on about a minimum number of reports. They only seem to get pulled after we've posted them on here , when i used to report them as an individual they would mostly complete on to sale. I've laid off emailing sellers as i got a death threat off one idiot who was supposedly a reputable dealer or that was the persona he was trying to project online. I did some background checks on him and his details where murky , none existent shops and addresses etc , thats when i realized some of these people are criminals not just hard up kids trying to make a few quid. In the future I'll just continue to report them and post them here for group reporting , I'll let other people email them if they wish , i fear diplomacy isn't my strong point when people start getting cocky lol. Stu.

I thoroughly agree Stu, the best we can do I suppose is to report as many that we see. But then how often does eBay actually pull the plug on an item - does it need a min number of reports? I think we have more success in contacting sellers to shame them, but then that doesn't work with the hard-nosed fraudsters. Frank

Well at last I have completed the 1888 set with the Maundy Coins below is the picture will put up some more when I get the coins sometime next week.

notice that coin has some red/blue toning, where would these coins have come from, obviously not the groud for that one, amazing how they travel down the years
