    Naw! Just too perfect!
  2. Geordie582
    Trying! OK! Peeps. What do you think of this then. Ashmore????

    "what's wrong with these people ? " Nothing much - if they sell to some poor sucker! I can't think of any way that they could stop this sort of thing. It's no use saying 'caveat emptor' to the ignorant!

    Now that is very interesting and not something I would have thought of! Thank you once more.
  5. Geordie582
    Thanks kuhli, I thought it was interesting when I bought it - in a Spanish market. How come Governo Portugues on a spanish coin?

    Amadeo I Just thought a picture would help! The light is because it is in a 2x2
  7. Geordie582
    kuhli. Have you come across over stamping of Spanish coins? I have a 5 pesetas of Amadeo that is over-stamped with a small crowned G.P. on the neck of the ruler. I don't think it is a collectors mark as it looks too 'official'.

    Now then! A woman. Saying lady has been deemed patronising!

    Now that is not funny. Some poor kid, maybe in the US will buy it thinking he's on to a winner. I wish there was some way to stop this sort of thing!

    Dyslexia of the fingers is catching!

    The ebay problem wasn't! Someone hijacked my ebay account and as a result, ebay blocked me. All sorted out now, thank goodness. I only disabled my antivirus for a couple of days because of a program clash, but that's all it took. Be warned!!!!!!!!!!!
  12. Geordie582
    Millimoo. I've registered but haven't produced any reviews yet. I tried your link to Ebay and get a ' ID not recognised' ! That is from both this site and your website!?
  13. Geordie582
    Spot on! I can only think of early collectors (hoarders?) who would be the source for pristine early coinage. Any that were in use must accrue a lot of dirt and grease over the succeeding years, even lots more dirt if found in the earth. Any clean ancients must therefore have been cleaned at sometime!
  14. Geordie582
    I think they must have been released in certain areas more than other. I've found only 2 in two years.
  15. Geordie582
    Nothign, realy. It just seems that they turn up a lot less than other dates. I don't know the mintage. Perhaps Chris knows?
  16. Geordie582
    With all the hassle I've had with Yahoo and ebay I'm thinking of only using dealers. So I'm casting about. Pity you don't sell hammered English or Celtic, Chris.
  17. Geordie582
    I agree with all of you! But I must point out that there are a lot of 'dealers' on ebay, many as 'power sellers' who will do anything to earn a buck. As always 'caveat emptor'. With chemical toning and fakes, unfortunately, lots of novices will be burned and there is not much any of us can do about it. I'll amend that statement! We cn "name & shame" them on this website and hope newcomers find us!
  18. Geordie582
    You Hope!!

    Who or what are the Back Street Boys?
  20. Geordie582
    You've never heard of the border reivers. Basically, local lords who were empowered to keep the peace in the borders because the king couldn't! They were really a bunch of north english and southern scottish land holders who did what they liked. mostly raiding each other doing the usual, rape pillage rustling. A nice bunch. I don't know how long they'reigned'. but from about 13th to 17th centuries. Border Reivers
  21. Geordie582
    So that's what happened to the reivers!
  22. Geordie582
    Yep! But I'm not bothered. As long as it doesn't interfere with future bidding Dislexia of the fingers again!
  23. Geordie582
    OK! I've cracked it! I'm back on ebay by subterfuge. I have registered again, using 582geordie instead of geordie582, and using a Switch card instead of Credit Card. So now you know! A silly thing as, once registered, they put me staight to the coins pages!!! Do you reckon they know what they're doing??
  24. Geordie582
    Oh! and by the way, I'm selling an item on ebay, so how I'm supposed to service the deal when the auction finishes, I have no idea!
  25. Geordie582
    It was ebay alright. Their customer services email confirmed it. I guess I'll just have to cast the site into the dustbin! Probably a good thing. I have bought some good coins there but some duds also. It maybe teach me to be more picky although my main past-time was buying coins that were doubtfully identified and trying to calalogue them correctly.
