He's pulled it. ?

Could be. He seems to know its details & spink number. Seems to have done the trick guys....its gone..ended ?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/322760788759 Reported.

They could retract their bids. Its whether they go back over the description and realise. Doubtful.

I used to do it that way frank until i started using the method micks described. I've had more success the way micks described it. Its more specific and to the point. Little concerned now its got bids on it they may not pull it. He has edited the description but once someones bidding on it they are unlikely to go back and read that. Really it should be in the title so technically its still in breach of eBays code on replicas. They should still act and pull it.

Bad egg. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/263215758889

I'd forgotten about that sword. Yeah its a milled coin so condition is better. I've a couple of high Q Briots myself. I still think its fishy though , can't put my finger on it though. I think I've seen the seller with fakes before and thats why i initially thought it was a fake. Totally agree about the price as well, its high. Generally people selling fakes on eBay continue to do so repeatedly, least thats what I've observed. I wonder if it could be an electotype. Be worth adding him as a fav seller and monitoring what he's selling. Another identical one may appear.

I saw that when it was first listed. My thoughts where exactly the same. Its pristine. I've never seen a coin of that age looking so untouched by time. Its definitely suspect. Something is not right about it. Gut instinct is screaming no!

Really? Unbelievable that. You'd of thought they would pull it the amount of reports they must of had. I didn't get round to ringing pennywise. If it appears again i will. Did anybody email the guy telling him it was a copy?

The cost of slabbing that plus postage probably exceeds its value. I'd pay no more than £20-25 for that outside that holder. The mind boggles sometimes when i see some slabbed coins. It's not even a rare coin either.

As Rob says the company manufacturing them is not setting out to deceive. That little stamp or a symbol signifying its a replica has to be placed on it by law. I am trying to find out which company it is that makes them so i can get access to their stock catalogue. That should help us identify all of these replicas in the future.

I reported it yesterday when it relisted. It ended normally. Its a cast copy. One of those dodgy little heart ones we've all seen lots of. Usually lizzie sixpences or charles II half groats. If i get chance tommorow I'll ring pennywise and let him know. He may ring eBay to complain. He's not verified that.

Reported! Does anyone have any contact with pennywise in Bolton? He needs a look at this so he can contact the police. There's no way he's okayed that lump. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Charles-l-Civil-War-Hammered-Seige-Coin-/182746366285

What an idiot lol. ? . Look before you leap not one of his strong points ?

Some people eh!. Really wow , what a dick. Glad you got it sorted in the end. Wonder what his problem was? Sounds like a right weirdo.

It could of been if I'd of wanted too. It was in an airtight container. Didn't fancy it at the time.

I know. I had to put my reading glasses on to see that. Minuscule writing on my phone screen.

Nice half penny. I have a few of his pennys. As john says the internets not much use for scottish coinage, I've struggled in the past myself to find any information out about coins of Alexander III . Picture is from Spinks Coins of Scotland , Ireland and the Islands. Anglo Gallic coins 2015. Regards Stu.

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 know. Highly unlikely to send it back to mother russia either if they realise its rubbish. Judging by the quality of some of these unmarked reproductions the hobbies heading into real trouble in the future, i wouldn't like to be starting up now its a minefield.

Oh well we can't win em all i guess. Probably sold before it was investigated. I bought an exact one of those for my son about 2 years ago , £1.99. There very thick and heavy with a milled edge.

Job well done. All 3 ended. ? Thanks everyone.

? no way ha ha. Thats brilliant. Happy days. I bet you've got some crazy stories to tell. You've done the right thing leaving Liverpool for Cambridge. Good choice mate. Going slope off to bed mate. Catch you later. ?
