    Now withdrawn Someone trying to prevent the sale! Actually, both his coins are unique - there's no other quite like them.
  2. Peckris
    Done. (The 'replica' shamrock is clear as day).
  3. Peckris
    Don't mention it, sweetie

    George V and Edward VII have similar portraits. If facing right and dated 1902-10, it's Edward and the legend says EDWARDVS, if facing left and dated 1911-36, it's George and the legend says GEORGIVS. £ to a penny yours is George.

    it's a penny - the 2d (for unknown reasons) has a proportionately larger head in relation to the central area within the raised rim.
  6. Peckris
    Yes, M.E. - and very rare in that grade. GEF with dark red lustre - you're looking at a £1k coin minimum.

    Here's what you can do: 1. get some silver dip (Goddards) 2. lower the ugliest coin into the dip for a MAXIMUM 10 seconds 3. rinse immediately and thoroughly, and DAB (not wipe) dry with a clean towel If it works but not sufficiently, then repeat ONCE ONLY. Good luck!

    Wonder how many people took them up on their offer of a £1 banknote instead of gold? Not many, I'd wager.
  9. Peckris
    Wow, someone got a bargain! If I'd known about it I'd have bid on it.

    And that's WITH "For the sake of completeness, a few spots of foreign matter are noted around Victoria's head". You mean, the coin would be incomplete without a few spots of foreign matter???

    What actually was the price? (Doesn't give it on that link).

    They wouldn't be allowed to call themselves MailOnline and use the logo, if they weren't part of the same group. They'd have been taken down or sued long ago.

    What you say is "fake news"! The Mail Online is absolutely the online arm of the newspaper (aka xenophobic toilet paper). This is what the site says: MailOnline publishes content produced by its own editorial team as well as content from the Daily Mail newspaper and The Mail on Sunday newspaper. If you wish to contact MailOnline, Daily Mail or The Mail on Sunday, please choose the appropriate tab below.

    I would certainly say that any listing claiming any bronze coin dated 1971 was "ultra rare", is neither reliable or trustworthy. In fact, it's a downright untruth. Any journalist who accepts such garbage on face value, is a fool.
  15. Peckris
    Worse still is the apparent belief that eBay listings are reliable and trustworthy.

    If a coin has been 'improved' by a careful act of cleaning, then I see nothing wrong with that, in fact I would applaud it. There are a mix of positive actions, such as gentle washing, extremely brief dipping to remove ugly tarnish, the application of surgical spirit to remove surface grime, acetone, or the long term soaking in olive oil to remove corrosion, etc. They are all cleaning, but can be done with care and attention. However, if a coin LOOKS cleaned - polished, unnaturally toned by dipping, or covered with hairlines - then that's a Bad Thing and will negatively affect the coin's value.

    Don't forget "and stable".
  20. Peckris
    LOL. I don't think there are too many coins valued at over £37k !!
  21. Peckris
    I remember the same bit.

    "Harro, gate"

    Who remembers Marina from Romania?

    Named for a drunk Japanese stumbling home and reaching his - or somebody's - garden.
