    Wybrit -- I don't recall any customs duty being charged in the other direction (UK to US). Do you know if this is just an oversight or is US customs supposed to charge a duty?

    What is haggis?

    Fakes?

    No bids yet, but someone may get stuck with it. The description of the auction states ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD "AS IS".

    Are Chavs unique to the UK?

    All of the coins being offered by this seller appear to be unnaturually lustrous. On the farthings he is selling he notes that "These coins are offered to you in 'Very Fine' Condition and still retain their original lustre". Perhaps he works for one of the US grading services?

    While much of what the public brings you to see may be less than desirable, have there every been any pleasant surprises where someone brings something really spectacular?

    They were not struck in gold. Perhaps the coin has been "gold"-plated outside the mint. If so, it would only be worth face value.
  8. Coppers
    Remarkably well done! Congratulations!

    Happy Birthday!

    Hope you have a wonderful birthday!

    That's not a boast -- simply an indication that one shouldn't give too much credence on the grade that is assigned to a slab. All in all, I prefer the current British grading system to the one we (here across the pond) have developed.

    My few experiences with slabbing some GEF's purchased from the UK ended up with grades of MS-64.

    Thank you, Oli!

    Did anyone check out this site lately? Apparently it's no longer in operation. Slabbed Coins

    Happy Birthday, Sylvester! How was the York Coin Fair?

    Happy Birthday! For how many of those 75 years have you been collecting coins?
  18. Coppers
    A very belated Happy Birthday! How was the BBQ?
  19. Coppers
    Exactly. Here in the US, there are a number of collectors willing to pay huge premiums for colorfully toned coins -- most of which I suspect have had more than a little help getting that way.

    Very sad and shocking news indeed.

    Another high grade 1869 penny up for sale. These are said to be quite rare in higher states of preservation and yet they do seem to appear with some regularity. 1869 Penny

    Apparently ebay has terminated the auction. Good work!

    Ebay Feedback

    Coppers replied to Peter's topic in Free for all

    While negative seller feedback on ebay is a danger signal, positive feedback is no guarantee of trustworthiness as I've seen some of the biggest scoundrels selling fake coins and tokens on ebay with nearly perfect feedback ratings.
