  1. Ahh thanks Rob. Apologies Josie. No malice intended i just saw the 4 posts and thought perhaps it was some kind of Bot.
  2. Are you some kind of Russian troll bot? I am struggling to make sense of any of your previous posts. I had seen people saying Bots have been posting on Brexit stuff on Youtube but i was sceptical but now i am not sure.
  3. He sadly passed away in October or November of 2017.
  4. Same method as Mick with no issues. Longterm storage also 10+ years. I check them every few months for any changes and replenish the silica packs. Absolutely no issues with them at all.
  5. It was given two applications. I pooled it on it for about 40 mins then took the toothpick to it to pick off / scrape at it. Once i was satisfied I'd got it all off I washed it in acetone then pooled it on again and left it for around 40 mins before dabbing it dry with a cloth and leaving it to air dry completely for 24 hrs. That coin above has had two previous unsuccessful treatments with distilled water and acetone. Each time it's broken out again within a few months. I am hoping the verdi cares stopped it it now. If not I'll just have to try again. It's been a week since treatment and all's okay so far. Fingers crossed.
  6. Verdi care....before & after. Sorry about the picture quality it was just to record the results.
  7. Some people say soak it for a period of time in distilled water then pick at it with a tooth pick and finally soak it in acetone. I've tried this method and had some success and some fails. I am currently trying Verdi care on some coins and have had good results so far but it's too early to say if it work's in the long term. The problems may return over time.
  8. Yes. Looking like Fake news. Surrey police have announced with no photographic evidence it's highly likely to have been either a hoax or mistaken identity of a bird or something. Labour appear to be demanding an inquiry into it , guess they haven't been told yet!
  9. Looks geniune to me. Not something you often see in that condition so scarce. Moneyer reads Sigarus on London. Star in Lozenge fleury type spink 1274.
  10. Reported him again. Instead of reporting it as a coin I've reported it as a fake / fraudulent item. Left some comments about his finds being fake made by casting or precious metal clay. Stu.
  11. Think your correct paddy. I have one very similiar of Constantine I Details as follows for mine Roman Follis Constantine I as Augustus Reigned 307 - 337 AD struck c.Mid-310 AD Londinium mint ( London) Obverse IMP CONSTANTINVS P F AVG Laureate, cuirassed bust right Reverse SOLI INVIC_TO COMITI Sol, radiate, standing facing, head left, chlamys across left shoulder, right hand raised, globe in left T | F across fields PLN in exergue
  12. I use Gixen to snipe. Costs i think £5 to use for the year paid via PayPal. It drops two bids in for you from different servers in case one fails. Can have it strike at 6 or 3 seconds. I usually just put in what i am willing to pay , if i get it for less it's all good. It takes out the frustration of sitting and physically waiting for the auction to end then fumbling around last minute to drop the bid in , that's too stressful for me.
  13. So they are lol. 3 three pences 😂.
  14. Oh dear. Why would anyone bid on that. The case doesn't match the set and the set may well be an odd assortment of different date coins 😣
  15. I've given up with the MSM on this debate. It's not impartial, I'd even go so far as to suggest some of it's propaganda. Did anybody else notice the lack of airtime on the French protests by the BBC? I found myself watching it on RT which is sad that we have to look at a foreign country's news to keep up-to-date with current affairs. Or what about this UN global compact for migration that we've just signed. Nothing at all from the BBC on this informing us of what it is and what it entails for the UK. They seem to be following the Mushroom policy , keep us in the dark and feed us shit.
  16. Here's the outcome i think. A second referendum or people's vote as they like to refer to it. Tick box 1) We remain in the EU. 2) We accept Mays terrible deal and remain in the EU. No option to leave! Someone said to me the other day the EU is like Hotel California. I said what do you mean?? , he said you can check out any time you like but you can never leave 🤔
  17. Definitely. Who in their right mind would come back for that crap 😂. I'll bet he's not actually sold much lol.
  18. Some shill buyers there by looks of it trying to falsely validate his stuff.
  19. They probably won't. I've been reporting all his stuff for about 12 months now. Terrible at his craft . He's no Billy & Charley that's for sure , least there stuff was passable lol.
  20. Fake siege piece. I've posted this guy up before. He makes his own stuff using precious metal clay then lists them as "Finds" https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Scarborough-Silver-Siege-Piece-Coin-Hammered-Metal-Detecting-medieval-saxon/183585451386 And what are the chances of him having two ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Silver-Sixpence-Siege-Piece-Coin-Hammered-Detecting-Find-/183585365405
  21. Hi Luca First off I'd just like to say i cannot help you with saying if it's geniune or not. What you would need to do is find out the weight of a geniune coin and weigh your one and see how they tally up. If it is a geniune coin it would of been minted around 18 AD. Looking around on this site it looks like a group 3 coin i think. Have a good look around on that website as somewhere on there will be weights for them i think. Stu. Tribute Penny
  22. Gollums trolling the PM 🤣 https://youtu.be/Isgt0VBxJa
  23. I've lost complete trust and faith in all parties and politics over this shambles. If it gets cancelled like it looks as if it's heading that way i think people are going to start voting for the underdogs or the populist candidates to piss Labour & the Tories off who have made a right balls up of this in my opinion. Looking around on Youtube there's people screaming for civil war and treason charges , lifelong Tory voters swearing they will never vote for them again and vice versus with Labour voters. This has done a massive amount of damage to faith and trust in politics and politicians.
  24. Even got a neg for trying to mug someone off with it previously. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Anglo-Saxon-SILVER-Kings-of-Mercia-Coenwulf-796-821-Weight-1-19-gr/153293295288
  25. Hi Dave Welcome to the forum. Here's an excellent website for identification of early long cross pennies. Early Longcross Penny Identification
