He has now sent me a message admitting that he might have posted the wrong picture and will check it when he gets back into work on Monday. If so, I'll post details on here but it's no excuse for the foul-mouthed denials that he sent before checking his own work. Apparently, he's getting a lot of abuse so can I ask everyone to hang fire until we hear that he's made a genuine mistake.2 points

Indeed. His first recourse when challenged should have been to examine the evidence and report back having done so, to either counter with a rational disagreement, or admit he made an error and apologise. Instead he chose to fly off the handle, which is offputting as far as possible future transactions are concerned, as it looks defensive. Which might lead a potential buyer to believe he has something to hide, even if that is untrue.1 point

That’s what puzzled me, as I bid upper estimate for one and was ‘outbid‘. The reserve must have been above upper estimate! But I like Lockdales....the 1862 B/R penny in VF at £8 came from one of their trays at the Midland, and I also bought my 1863 die no 3 and 1882 no H there at reasonable prices, and an excellent unrecognised F763 for £180.

Yes, that is also possible. He probably made a simple error - which he wouldn’t have done if he took his own photos, rather than using Lockdales- but then his short fuse and erroneous assumption he was right let him down. Not a great advert for his dealings with potential customers. Jerry1 point

The mystery deepens still further..... According to that Lockdales list above, lots 228, 229 & 232 were unsold, whereas when you look on Lockdales website, they all have a hammer price - link1 point

His response to me saying that he doesn't own it: "I do own it. Will you people please stop threatening me!" and he's blocked me. Time to bid £1000 on it I think and get him excited.1 point
