Its an auction lot Bob, so all is fair game

I had an email arrive about some unsold lots they had for 30% under the estimate, underneath they had a link to some British farthings they were selling on the bay, 1844 Geo I etc. I'm sure it will interest some of our members or upset them lol http://www.ebay.com/itm/K60-Great-Britain-Victoria-Farthing-1844-VF-Rare-/301201831533?pt=US_World_Coins&hash=item462107366d (null)

If it was used for several hours then the coins would have never reached circulation before finding out they had reused the same die, the would/should have then went back and check what had been minted.

I visited Dachau concemtration camp, that was spine chilling. Dachau was the model for all other camps, seeing where the ovens were located gave me goosebumps. Just about a km away was the SS firing range in which they used 4000 Russian POWs as live targets. I may, if no one objects, go back and take some pictures for you all, when o have a little time, its something which i think should be seen IMO so that we never forget what happened in these camps and never forget the sacrifices of so many.

But if he's already had it for 10 years raw i'd see no point now for a slab if it was just for storage, unless as you say that its for selling on

For the Spanish coin, go to the Sun forum "recent aquisitions"

Hello and welcome. If you've already had the coin for 10 years raw then why feel the need now to slab it? Is it for authenticity purposes?

And right there is what is wrong with the ebay feedback system, its an absolute joke

Your problem is now that the toning is seen in and around the legend but not in the fields, those now look too clean. Your pictures are'nt the best and you've probably taken them indoors under artificial light which does'nt really help when asessiing the coin, but thats my opinion from what i can see

NVF for me but i laughed when the owner said "i'm sending to PCGS and it better come back as AU at least" sorry, but it has'nt a chance of getting that grade. PCGS Grade, probably XF

We don't really do MS grades here, good old fashioned EFs or UNCs etc, Peck gave it a GEF though which i think would be about an AU American grade, but problem being that its been cleaned and perhaps dipped now that the TPGs can recognise this, so it might be down to XF by now if it were sent to a TPG. They'd stick that on the Label also i believe. Its a bit like the Black Death was, its branded unclean and stick a large X On it lol

So, there you have it...a piece of £20 silver delivered for £117...bargain!Paulus' link (thanks, by the way!) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151310748742?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D151310748742%26_rdc%3D1 And this is why ebay is such a mess. 58 bids is a joke, and this does'nt trigger anything within ebay

Jaggy if you had of told me this in 2010 when i first started collecting lol......... Look at the date of the post

I've no idea what we're talking about

Here's it on ForgeryNetwork: http://www.forgerynetwork.com/asset.aspx?id=ouiJWLQnL94= I wonder who bought that (or not as the case might be) then Clive

Tenor (yes i know Peck)

Just curious how you Managed to clean it when it seems to be in a slab? Your original picture is unslabbed and the picture just above Pecks reply is slabbed

I've replied to a post that was over a year old thinking it was just a few days old. Senile or what

I'd be interested to hear if you get a response from PCGS Rob

Herein lies the problem Rob. the coin does'nt belong to PCGS and instead some idiot buyer who does'nt have a damn clue . Or scenario. Number 2 that the coin was only used as an example and the wax was actually photoshopped out. I hope it was the latter

That, for some reason got me thinking about some of the weird American state and City laws and so googled them. This one is a beauty, in the state of Iowa in a town called Fort Madison The fire department is required to practice fire fighting for fifteen minutes before attending a fire. This is probably to make sure the fire has took hold properly and the Risk of Death is imminent lol. I heard of one along the Lines of that its legal in a certain state to have Sex with a cow, now that is deep shit lol. Bob (rlc) surely you know of a couple in Indiana Lol, i doubt i'd ever move to Florida then, apparently this is a law Oral sex is illegal. (So is shooting people)

Its not jail he needs, its the local mental ward plus probably a shower

This one 161316060053 also has the same shill bidder
