    Story time. Bidder 1: 33% activity with seller. Bidder 2: 100% activity with seller. Bidder 3: 33% activity with seller. Bidder 1 has their only other two bids with just one seller in the Clothing category. Bidder 3 has their only other two bids with, conveniently, just one seller in Baby Clothes. As for the other bidder, 100% activity with same seller but retracted as 'Entered Wrong Amount'. What's the bet the two sellers in the Clothing categories are Bidders 1 and 3?

    Stuart, the seller clearly knows what they're talking about. Her response to an innocent question by an 'unsuspecting' eBayer was as follows: "ive had this coin since my dad passed away in 1996 he was a collector ,,had it valued ,, its worth a lot more but I thought ide start auction low ,,its exact coin to ths one ,,,thanks for intrest ,,,ebay id 260642742187 " Great. So it's now a countermarked 'sixpence', too. Perfect.

    I was watching that with anticipation. I was not predicting it to jump to that price, though. I was hoping to add it to my First Issue groat, but I think I'll wait for a better example. Here's the groat:

    Another bidder has entered the foray. Shame they, too, have 100% bidding activity with the seller...

    Hmm. Three fairly new bidders. When I looked earlier two of them had 100% bidding history with the seller. I wonder what could be going on there...

    All seems fine now, Colin.

    Oh wow. What is that thing on the obverse?
  10. HistoricCoinage
    I got linked to this, hmm.

    I also got a reply from the owner: "There is nothing about the toning of this coin that looks "artificial" to my eye -- and I have seen thousands of toned coins."

    I would highly recommend Peter Nichols but, alternatively, many auction houses have some in a 'Miscellaneous' section, such as London Coins. It's worth looking around auction houses as you can often pick up a real bargain.

    I misunderstood. Apologies.

    A very good point. It's something they do largely in Russia, as can be seen with the plethora of Russian car crash compilations on YouTube, and I'm sure would have considerable results in the UK.

    Nor I! I might possibly buy a pint, but I'd be as burdened as a pack horse when doing so! Glad to hear so. I was just a little perplexed by Gary D's question - it sounded like a dig at me.

    Assuming that's a question, relevant and directed at me, Friday. My comment was originally meant to convey my surprise, in that I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that. I'd definitely seek to restore my stock to the bank or safe before going to the pub, but I suppose it depends upon the exact situation at the time.

    Robbed whilst ordering a pint? Not what I expected the situation to be at all.
  18. HistoricCoinage
    Link. Wow. She looks...different.

    This is getting banded around a lot but I do not actually think he did. From what I understand he might have actually been present and robbed rather than unattended, but I could be wrong.

    You'll like this link, Asumel.

    Potentially. Or someone just sees you in the market and decides to follow you home waiting for an easy opportunity. A shame.

    A rare piece of apparatus these days.
  23. HistoricCoinage
    A good example of something similar is Lord Stewartby's collection. Stolen from his house when he happened to have them there briefly for cataloguing and never seen again. The most important private collection of Scottish coins disappears either to be melted down or, more likely, to be in somebody else's collection.

    I make the total value is £17,630 so I'm not sure where the £50k figure I was told came from...
  25. HistoricCoinage
    I'm not sure of the details but I know I'd never leave something like that unattended. Precisely. I've asked Lloyd for a list and shall post it here as soon as I receive it.
