    To be honest, cultural philistine that I am, I wouldn't have known. But having spotted the error, maybe you should tell them.

    I agree. There are many instances of doubling and they are so variable in nature that it would be very difficult to separately classify each type. One interesting feature of Obverse 4 is that the L C WYON is much more easily visible than on other types, but at the same time, the L appears as an I on most of them.

    Cheers Terry - foolproof method. That's really useful to know .

    That is bad, although I must admit, I find Obverses 2 & 3 very difficult to tell apart. I couldn't do it from a photo. No excuse for them though. There's the distinct danger that a buyer might be thinking they're getting a Freeman 10, when in fact it's a 13, and they've already got one.

    Fake news I can live with - just so long as it's not fake coins

    Although they shouldn't be that self important that they can't courteously acknowledge someone else's time and input. I can't be the only one to notice that customer service standards have declined quite significantly over the last 10 or so years, to a point where some organisations now get quite defensive and hostile when shortcomings are drawn to their attention (not saying LCA do)

    Was it this one, Bob?

    Were you the negative feedback? On checking my feedback, I note that I have actually bought a coin from him in the past. It was my 1869. Bought 2nd October 2015.

    What you mean literally photographs the screen? That's plain odd. Why not just take a screenshot?

    Although a very nice coin, I think the vendor may be somewhat ambitious with the price he's asking. I mean, c'mon, you're 'avin a larf my son link

    I don't know, unfortunately, as I've never used them. What you say though is enough to put anyone off. The process shouldn't be this time consuming, difficult and inconveniencing for the end user. The steps should be sequentially laid out, as well as crystal clear, with a helpline to someone who can speak English and knows what they're on about That way there's no confusion.

    Well, they've sort of put this one right, but still left one half of the erroneous image underneath.

    Thought it was supposed to be KIm Jong Un, but it's dated 2004, so it can't be.

    Another interesting one. Here the H is to the left and in contact with the linear circle, so it's top most part is practically underneath the 8.
  17. 1949threepence
    Never seen one like that before ! Is it yours?
  18. 1949threepence
    No problem, Ian. Yes, it's palpably higher than his Hb example on that page.
  19. 1949threepence
    I found this one in an old LCA auction. The H is otherwise quite well centred.
  20. 1949threepence
    Surplus post to negate the above, which I can't otherwise get rid of.
  21. 1949threepence
    In the sense that with most of the 1881H's, the H was not dead centre between the two 8's, but distinctly to the left, nearer the first 8? Could it be a recut die?

    Ring their general enquiries line on (01443) 222111, and explain the position. They'll let you know whether you can send it or not, and if you can, they'll give you a name. It'll be the Llantrisant address - details here Good luck, Brian and keep us posted.

    Not sure what I will go for yet - I'll only be able to afford one, amongst a range of options, and obviously may lose out on that. One thing I did notice is this Freeman 79, which is not vastly different in quality to the one you sold me for £250, Guy. But just look at the difference in amount expected.
  24. 1949threepence
    Which is a great pity, and why I much prefer, for example, DNW, who do have live bidding via an audio link with the actual live auction. The auctioneer accepting bids from off the internet and in the room. There seem to be far more internet bids than room bids.
  25. 1949threepence
    On the reverse, definitely. But the obverse? may be toothed, which would make it a mule, and very rare. Phil needs better advice than I can give for cleaning it.
