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. ?

My mum and dad left Dovecote ( Stone field Rd)in the late 70s and dragged us all to Skem. I don't remember much about there as i was born in 73. Did regularly pop back to visit family there til the late 90s but sadly they have all passed now and I've got no more family there. The rest of my family live in Skelmersdale still apart from my parents who moved up to Clitheroe before i did. I had a messy breakup with my ex then ended up getting full custody of both my kids who where under ten at the time. Right mess. I was told if i wanted custody i had to leave skem for family support so i came here. Bit traumatic for all of us , i lost my job my house and friends. Kids have only just settled down now.

Ha ha. I've seen those myself a few times. Quite a few were painted up with clothes. There was abit of a moan about vandalism but it was all in good taste. Looks like its fading on them now. Lifes not too bad in Clitheroe. I miss my old friends but i occasionally see them when they drive up. Originally i was from Dovecote but I've also lived in Skelmersdale . Strange place that was lol some right nutters there.?

I've reported all three also. Hopefully they will get pulled. I've not seen many replicas on ebay lately then wham three all in the space of a few hours. Couple of clowns them two , if it was a geniune coin it wouldn't be worth that much anyway.

Same price , same coin, same town, same description. Same scam. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/253134669300

Reported! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/King-Charles-I-hammered-silver-threepence-coin-/172852041995

Some mug will buy it as it's Baldwin's. This is why I don't buy from these big name dealers. Rubbish at inflated prices!.

Oh my. ? Some people eh. The George IV looks like it got lost in a sandstorm for a century. I hear crys of any old iron ?

It depends on how toned you want it really. You can see it changing within minutes if you use a clear container. I only gave mine about 25 minutes and that was dark enough for me.

I've used that method it work's. I mushed up an hard boiled egg and put it in a tupperware dish to one side then used a dot of blue tack to stand my coin on its edge. Shut the lid and watched it tone off nicely. Good cheap method.

Me also. I struggle a little with classification of Edwards I-II & III but i am fine with the voided longcross and shortcross series. It really depends on condition of coin and which parts are visible.

Nice bunch of Eddys. If you want free help on identification i find this websites great for Edwardian long cross classification. http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/pages/edwardian-Pennies/Edwardian%20Pennies%20P1.htm#The groups Theres also a section on there for voided longcross classification http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/pages/Long-Cross-Pennies/Long%20Cross%20Pennies%20P1.htm (henry III) also there is www.henry3.com for voided longcross help.

It looks like the logo of the east india company on one side. Can't help with value as i don't know what it is.

Scrap metal!

Its a brass half guinea coin weight of William III. They where used to check the weight of a real half guinea as counterfeits were rife in them days. Dates to between 1690- 1702. Value is anywhere between £25- £50. Thats roughly what they sell for on eBay. People do collect them so if you put it on eBay with a buy it now price it will likely sell. Seems to have some good detail to it so it will sell easily i think. Nice find

He will indeed. When he listed his first two and he had in the listing he'd found a bag full in his garden i knew then he was lining the way to frequently offload them. I am hoping he gets a neg on his feedback off this last sale. He's a real prize prick.
