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.

The reason for this was artificial bids. The coin is not Richard I but Henry III. Saxby's are always selling coins misdescribed and commit fraud each week. I suspect that this coin was picked out as one example to make a point to Benjamin Stocks. but I await to see.

Must be one of those The London Mint Office sovereigns that's multipurpose.

Tops. First issue is the best of a bad bunch. Luckily the rarity of the reign keeps the prices up a bit, but even for the best issue this one is a bit grim. True, but Ipswich is a scarcer mint of this type, if I'm not mistaken.

Not showing for me.

The photograph doesn't make it clear but I'd say IELFPINE ON GIP which would make it Ælfwine. As for what it could fetch, entirely depends on where you're listing it. But I'd expect £1,250 - £1,500.
