I'm in Surrey and haven't found anything of the sort. I can suggest, however, that a visit to the London Coin Fair or the Bloomsbury Coin Fair might be suitable as many dealers have 'bargain trays' that cause a flurry of activity just after the doors open. Congratulations on the 100,000th post and enjoy Chris' coins.

Sorry, Paul. My bad! On a related note, I read this about a lawsuit involving competition/anti-trust against eBay and TPGs hogging the market. "Universal Grading Service (UGS) was a nascent New Jersey-based grading service decided to file an antitrust suit eBay, the American Numismatic Association, then ANA President Barry Stuppler, and PNG claiming that the rules are preventing them from competing in the market. Their claim was that coins in their holders were allegedly banned by eBay claiming that by using the study, eBay was in collusion with the ANA and PNG to prevent them from participating in the market, an alleged violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act."

I don't know whether it's just me, but does anyone else find this seller's terminology a little...unsettling? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Unmolested-1906-Edward-VII-Four-Coin-Maundy-Money-Set-In-Original-Case-/261428196555?pt=UK_Coins_BritishMilled_RL&hash=item3cde55b4cb

Wrong Spielberg film, Peter was in the one where he had to sit in the front basket of a bicycle with the Mrs cycling.

Was it a duel between you and the speedo or you and the caravans?

Sounds like an opening to a Terry Gilliam film Or Breaking Bad.

But this seller misses out the u, too.

True!

I cannot see that word anywhere in the images or description, but assume you are referring to the American spelling 'colorizing' which is perfectly understandable considering it's an American coin and company that made this tat.

If it were me I'd sell.

Awful.

It's copied and pasted from this.

Mark Blackburn states that there are 'a number' but only mentions a few. They are: BMC 107-8, one in SCBI East Anglia 17, possibly #4 in the Manningtree hoard, one in SCBI East Anglia 1102 and the single finds of 2001 and 1970 on the EMC. There must be far more not recorded, though.

Having just returned from a seminar given by Chris Scull I'd highly recommend visiting the Sutton Hoo site to see the Rendlesham treasures that go on display this Saturday. Since 2008 they've metal detected & surveyed 150 hectares of land systematically resulting in thousands of finds. It's so good to finally see this being published!

The smilies are at the top of the 'Reply to this topic box', between the gold 'A' and 'My Media'. But I just use the combinations of brackets and colon/semicolon. Yes, I will try and get along to the site for a visit soon, too, whilst I'm in Cambridgeshire.

But yes, some interesting reading here, too, with a video.

Not all that secret...

The sale price was 25 grand, but it wasn't sold for that.

He told one bidder that they were so "nieve". Oh the irony...

He's not threatening me yet, but he's threatening the bidders who inflated the price with legal action. He has no leg to stand on but it's amusing watching him squirm. Just one of his messages to the winning bidder: "Your antics will be reported, i have the message you sent prior so ebay will know you intentionally interfeared with an auction, this is a serious breach of ebay policy, anyone else you got involved with this will also be dealt with the same way, ile be getting you removed from ebay permenantly as with the other ebay members who joined your stupid idiotic interfearance, that will then of course be on you. I now of course also have your address details to send a court summons for costs and damages, Well done. Fool"

The threatening messages have already started... He's also had the cheek to second chance it to several underbidders!

We had a run-in several years back. Nothing came of it. Yes, I remember the triple unite - thankfully it got removed.

Just before I receive another legal threat from Mr Stocks regarding 'defamation', these statements are true. I provide some further case studies of misidentification for Saxby's financial gain here: Common class 10 Edward I farthing listed as one of Edward IV. What looks to be a Henry V penny listed as Richard III. Richard II penny of York listed as Richard III halfpenny. And the list goes on...

Yep, a simple search revealed that there are countless people wanting to stop Saxby's ripping £1000s off people each weeks so they deliberately bid up this to make a point and then cancelled the purchase.
