    I've now read the entirety of that thread over on CC. Some absurd comments being left about 'racists' and 'free speech'. As jaggy says, clearly a sensitive soul...

    Blimey! Even with a download speed approaching 100mbps that took a while!

    Yes, I meant that it'd be odd to use such a punch on Elizabeth's coins and, even if it were used, it would be a most unusual place for it as it doesn't fit in with the design and doesn't strike me as a 'countermark'. TimeLines told me that their 'coin experts' believed it to be a letter E. I'm still not convinced.

    Whilst odd to use such a punch of Edward posthumously it strikes me as more odd that it is used in such a location on the coin.

    absolutely sand where you thrown out black, in something infinity. I am as you say. not that is, not there in something. up the down sea.

    Same here! The sources/reference section at the end of each page is exceptionally useful and the articles are perfect for a general overview of a topic. Far from rubbish.

    I asked eBay to check the IP addresses of the five members. I woke up to the listing gone. Some form of natural order is restored.

    As for the countermark, it does appear rather odd. I'm still not convinced. I've requested larger images, but we'll see. As an aside, can someone else type timeline originals into Google.co.uk and let me know what the second suggestion is?

    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...
  15. HistoricCoinage
    All seems fine now, Colin.

    Oh wow. What is that thing on the obverse?
  18. 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.
  21. HistoricCoinage
    I misunderstood. Apologies.
  22. HistoricCoinage
    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.
  24. HistoricCoinage
    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.
  25. HistoricCoinage
    Robbed whilst ordering a pint? Not what I expected the situation to be at all.
