I presume he means unresearched in terms of king or class. But yes, I agree, there's clearly been some research done!

Sorry, Rob. I'm sure Mr Stocks will gladly provide full details of the coin if requested, he's probably found a die match in the Copenhagen collection!

"A finest collectors specimen" Words fail me.

That appears genuine from the photographs.

Hopefully those that realise he's a shiller and sells fake coins.

They key to this shiller's success is that they don't seem to win the item - and so they're at risk of a negative as much as a normal seller.

There was the big Lleyn 1984 earthquake, although it's a few more years than 25 but it was apparently the biggest onshore one recorded in Britain,

It's been a quick reference for many years for countless people. Definitely worth bookmarking.

Bloomin' heck. Hope everything's ok.

Sounds more like the chap here in Cambridge who was asked to leave a supermarket 'Some people turn to God, I turned to Adolf Hitler' says Paul Dutton, the Cambridge man who wore Nazi SS uniform to go shopping at Asda "He said he uses the outfit to try to distance himself as he does not like having people around him" but yet will happily let journalists in his house so the public can view him and walks around in dress that will attract everyone's attention. It's a shame more hasn't been done to help this chap with his issues.

Canterbury mint. Moneyer is likely to be Aelfred. EFRED ON CENTCE. I think...

This one is fairly self-explanatory. It is a 1955 10 dinars of Former Yugoslavia as seen here. They appear to sell for about 60 pence.

Not a huge gap. Assuming it was made c.1710 and the coin weight appears to date from 1750s-1770s then it's not that far. However, it could conceivably be one of the English-made ones for the French issues but a trader has subsequently altered it to suit British coins.

Another fake, 'passed down' from his 'great nan'.

Extremely Fair? No, effectively flat. Ah. Makes much more sense!

Originally listed as an Elizabeth I coin I informed him it was a fake Henry VIII. Still listed as genuine. Shame on them. The WRL kind of gives it away...

Extremely Fair?

There are some nice ones about, though! Just not always identified as such. I was the underbidder on this rarity.

Buy the best you can afford.
