    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...

    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.
  4. HistoricCoinage
    He is! Hopefully all will be returned, time will tell.

    Nearly £50,000's worth of coins have been stolen from the car of Lloyd Bennett recently. A list is due to be published but there are some high grade hammered and milled coins within them. Just a heads up to anyone that gets offered an unusual amount over the next few days or weeks. Hopefully the coins will be found and the perpetrators brought to justice.

    I had a Jiffy bag arrive today from Lockdales. Now, I haven't won anything from one their auctions in a while, so I was a little perplexed. Upon opening I realised it was a coin from eBay. They trade under a wholly different name.

    I agree. The edge looks very suspect - implying two 10ps have been split and then affixed.
  8. HistoricCoinage
    Oh dear.

    Precisely. Especially as you can have twice as large a 'piece of history' on a keyring for a fraction of the cost here.

    This annoys me. Mentioning WRL and then subtly slipping 'copy' into the description.
  11. HistoricCoinage
    Precisely. The various adverts and paragraphs that say 'No Listing Fee' and 'No Sale, No Fee' do not instill much confidence when one takes into consideration that eBay's listing fees are minimal when compared to their Final Value Fee. I also find the 'No Sale, No Fee' to sound like an Injury Lawyers 4 You campaign...

    One for you, Stuart. The incredibly rare 'portcullis variety'...

    It'll lose significant quality if saved as a JPG. A PNG would be far better in terms if quality if you're still looking for a small/compressed file.

    One 'very rare' Charles I for you, TomGoodheart.

    Well I'd normally use Chrome's 'View Source' tool but there is an extension you can install with Chrome (the internet browser) called 'Allow Right-Click'. However, on this occasion, I did not need to do either on Chrome or, I checked, Internet Explorer.

    With a little bit of trickery it's easy to override any "Right Click Disabled" coding. Here's the images for you.

    When standing in a hole it's best to stop digging.
  19. HistoricCoinage
    From my experience, yes, but is much more commonplace on the larger denominations.

    That's a result of the striking error. Lots of letters are doubled with this, the Z just being far more prominent. The inner circles do not join up which is a clear indicator of a double-strike. Otherwise, I'm missing something as I do not see another error.

    Unfortunately I'm not able to determine an exact class with that obverse.
  22. HistoricCoinage
    This is the coin that disappeared.
  23. HistoricCoinage
    Wow. That is a very poor fake!
  24. HistoricCoinage
    Spot on!

    For our US friends as I suspect shipping would be costly to us Brits.
