Uncooperative ebay seller of cast copies

[Uncooperative ebay seller of cast copies]

one might think that he’s making, or having the casts made. These dont seem common. I wonder who now holds the originals?

I wonder what was the reasoning was behind that move🤔 Its not as though it takes up physical space.

the Sheldon numbers were not meant to define the quality of coins—but rather to indicate the dollar-value in various grades. 

Maybe Sheldon’s motivation to create the system was pecuniary but the system is meant (intended) to define the quality of the coins”.

I thought I'd have a browse...

This one looks definitely suspect to me, perhaps a cast (?) yet verified as genuine by LCGS. The rim is also unlike any 1658 shilling that I've seen before.

The sub-standard photography doesn't help much either.

Moving on.

This one from 'Sorry I haven't a clue', I always liked Humph's introductory remarks about the town where the quiz was held that evening. This is how he introduced Nottingham,

"It's well documented in official records that the city's original name was `Snottingham' or `home of Snotts', but when the Normans came, they couldn't pronounce the initial letter `S', so decreed the town be called `Nottingham' or the `home of Notts'. It's easy to understand why this change was resisted so fiercely by the people of Scunthorpe."

Sentencing should befit the crime, only then will such criminals learn their lesson.

Seizing all assets might be a good start, along with a lengthy custodial sentence. Unfortunately the usual slap on the wrist is no deterrent.

The "coin" fetched £326.57. 

Some people are really in for a shock when they come to sell on. I find it hard to believe that someone who is willing to pay over £300 hasn't educated themselves in such matters, after all it is not even a good fake. He also has an Elisabeth 1 sixpence which screams fake and now at £64. 'There's one born every minute' seems to hold true on eBay.

...CYril"

For those of you that can and want to sit through it, there's a B&W (careful not to use the words in case some 'bot' bans me from living) film on YouTube starring Cyril and John Pertwee (its clear in this one where he got the Worzel Gummidge voice from). I'd never seen Cyril acting before and to be honest I hadn't missed much but it was interesting to see him in another role.

Zuckerberg and Thinkpol not really thinking it out. Some of the media on there is vile . FB disgusts me and I won't subscribe to their crass hypocrisy.

Bring back the quill and pounce pot, that'll teach them.

“Altered” would seem the one category, out of those listed, where further explanation is required, the others being self explanatory.

Authentication I guess. You might have a very rare variety with a minor flan flaw for example.

Why would a flan flaw fall in to the rejected category?
