Dodgy! For expenisve things I don't trust paypal. Has to be a bank transfer (which should really become more widely encouraged). You had a lucky escape.
-
I have no idea, probably not. They're just not great at replying to people. When you send a coin they keep it for a year before sending it back. I had to wait about that long for my specially struck BNS medal. So, a simple letter, or an email without anything laying around to remind them, I don't fancy your chances! I suppose we should be grateful that they give their expertise for free at all. -
Yes, she did didn't she.
-
You won't hear back from them for some time, if at all!
-
I think the point is that it's toothed both sides and the the seller is talking out of their arse (as we seem to have a bottom theme running)
-
You ought to try logging in from time to time....Or haven't I approved you yet. I have to be careful with those whole legions of Russian spammers out there.

Austria/German dealers are a load of rubbish! Any British stuff they have is usually clean down to bare metal. I hope only your bride scrubbed up well!
-
That's alright then. Why don't you register as a member here? There's no funny business or spam and such like.

You should be able to get your money back from paypal should the seller not refund you. Paypal are extremely effiecient at whipping sellers money right from under their noses, believe me! You'll have to let us know in here, how it goes.
-
Yes, but if we keep getting little kisses we'll talk to you all day!

From experience seeing other circulated proofs including 1927's etc. I've also never heard of a non proof raised edge, and I do know George V crowns pretty well.
-
Oh, you bought it? I hope you get your money back ok.

Might just be me, but..
Chris Perkins replied to Master Jmd's topic in Forum technical help and support
I keep meaning to do something about that. -
It's Spannish, without looking in books that's about all I can tell you! It's no doubt from somewhere around the 18th century.

Happy Birthday Master jmd
Chris Perkins replied to TomGoodheart's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
Happy birthday JMD. You're exactly a day younger that my Australian friends daughter! (if you want her email address let me know ) -
I noticed a little error in the GB coin section of Krause books (not sure what volume/edition). The error concerns the size of the Britannia type groats. In the book they are shown as being the same size as the maundy type groats, which is of course wrong, they are the same size as the threepence (but with a milled edge). Tell Messrs Krause and Michler about that one if you will, it's bugged me for the last couple of years!
-
There was also a .500 proof wasn't there. I seem to remember I bought one off spink described as such, but it got lost in the post! Yes, ESC lists a .500 proof and it has a normal incuse edge...That exists as far as I'm aware. Where are you based E Dawson, if you're weren't aware, I also produce a British coin publication.
-
I've seen 1934 crowns worn down to less than Fine, and 1927 proofs completely unrecognisable as proofs.
-
Those are great Oli, thanks. That reminds me that I wanted to contact the BM to see if they wouldn't mind if I reproduced the 2nd Edition Peck dust cover.

Wondering if you can buy Coin Presentation Folder
Chris Perkins replied to a topic in Beginners area
Very true... And are there some pictures somewhere that would not involve me linking to Mr Chard? -
Wondering if you can buy Coin Presentation Folder
Chris Perkins replied to a topic in Beginners area
You can't just buy the folders! Unless on the rare occassion that a coin got damaged inside and someone put the folder on ebay, but the chance of that is very slim. In a life time your probably would collect about 3 folders that way! You could try going to the mint direct, but I suspect the older packs get pulped when their issue has sold out. -
Going by the Colin Cooke example here: http://www.colincooke.com/coinpages/halffarthing.htm (you've probably seen it, and it's not a closeup) I'd say send it back, yours looks very different.
-
Ok, go for it! Send it insured and I'll return it likewise.
-
I'd probably pay for scans of the images, if you could do some without damaging the book.
-
Yes, of course! We're all reasonable people. And none of the regulars here are imbeciles, so fire away, let's hear about unfair negative feedback experiences (not those where negligence of any kind was involved).
