Here's my 1945, i only bought the other because i wasn't sure if it had been cleaned or not as the pix were crap, but i have now asked for a refund, they were only a quid each, so not a ballbreaker.

Just for you Peckris http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230526486705&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2F%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dp3907.m570.l1313%26_nkw%3D230526486705%26_sacat%3DSee-All-Categories%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230526487811&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2F%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm570%26_nkw%3D230526487811%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230526524407&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2F%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm570%26_nkw%3D%2B230526524407%2B%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230526527509&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2F%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm570%26_nkw%3D%2B230526527509%2B%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230526534592&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2F%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm570%26_nkw%3D230526534592%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230526540181&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2F%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm570%26_nkw%3D230526540181%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230526540611&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2F%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm570%26_nkw%3D230526540611%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230526155039&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2F%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm570%26_nkw%3D230526155039%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1

So did anyone win any coins from the Workman sale? If so, care to share which?

Sorry forgot to ask after messing with file sizes to post the pics. Basically any info about trade dollars would be much appreciated. Your pictures are very pixelated to see anything on it, i think you have böown a very small picture to the extreme and has therefor distorted the image

I share your pain. Mine are too busy fighting, shagging and doing things they'd rather I didn't know about to concentrate on anything so 'static' as collecting coins. I can just about get them to play golf, but that's as far as they will go. Just got my eldest boy (12) interested in fishing. He told me you can do it on an xbox, ps3 apparently! He even likes helping to sort my job lots from auctions and takes some for his "collection" Sadly he has discovered girls and puberty now so I fear all may be lost!!! Maybe you should show him what some of these old coins can make John, perhaps let him look at the Pennies on the Workman sale and show him what prices they achieved, maybe then kids will come to realise the value of these old coins

I think he's iver enlarged a very small picture, hence the pixalation

Thats not being faked 400, thats fraud as far as i can see

Not sure what your problem is as you have not stated it so far, will you be enlightening us somtime soon?

I also have another 45 Scott thats wirhout mint darkening, so now what?

I didn't realise silver should get to this state John, hence my brass thought

Looks more like brass to me Vicky, and this is from a dealer, no mention of anything untowards

and REV

Next is a 1947

And the REV, weights are correct for all 3

So i got 3 Pennies, not sure if they've been cleaned or not, there doesn't appear to have any brush marks associated with cleaning, just normal wear, but the 1945 has no mint darkening, hence the reason i went for the 3. Not fantastic grades, that wasn't what interested me, so any opinions if these have been cleaned or not? 1945 first, hi res

Is this a contempory forgery?

A site i use a lot here in Germany refuses now to ship to China, thats a start i suppose. Nothing should leave China (coin wise) unless its stamped COPY

If you look at Hussalos post there you will see a 90k profit in 3 months on 1 coin bought ans subsequently sold. Its not Asda, Tescos or boots that are ramping up the prices, its individuals with mountains of cash to throw away, and we mere mortals at the end of the day have to pay for it, because as Tom said, if there's something out there that you really want or must have, you'll pay what it takes (within our megre budgets at least) to buy said coin or beanie

Ahhh all these varities, worthless gimme an overstamped V any day

Not so sure it is Huss, there's a couple of like rusts spots in the Heritage auction coin (inbetween the U in SOUTH) that can't be seen in the London coin auction, plus the London coin auction was September 2010 and the Heritage was Aug 2010, so in actual fact it would have been a huge loss if anything

Not quite with you there Ard, supermarket/coins, Hey now There's a good idea, giving out coins at a supermarket, why hasn't asda or tescos thought of that yet

I was in a high vantage Point at the time, over looking a grassy knoll As it happens
