  1. You'll probably not get a reaction from the American community because they won't hear that coins can be AT due to the fact they pay well over the odds for those coins and they would'nt want to look completely fools by being fooled and wasting so much cash in the process.This toning thing was started by Americans who are largely into marketing and pyramid crap type deals, Tell 1 poor sould that your coin is worth $$$$s more because of a bit of colour then spreads by Word of mouth and the. Everyone wants a piece of the action, prices rose for Common coins and booooooom you have a whole new collecting area where you "MUST HAVE" that Rainbow coloured coin. Someone somewhere posted (coincommunity) i think it was, then directed here that a guy went to an NGC Seminar and was told a coin was AT toned if it did'nt follow the spectrum of the rainbow, yet an NGC graded coin Popped up toned and not in sequence of the rainbow, so there you see how stupid its all bekomme for them, ignoring their OWN apparent facts. Its like them telling us area51 does'nt exist even when the Population of planet earth knew it did, yet they Kept telling the American public that it did'nt and the majority believed them lol
  2. Some interesting reading of Fake NGC slabs. Any collector of slabs should read http://china-mint.info/forum/index.php?topic=6858.0 Just goes to sho, buy the coin and not the slab
  3. Lol. Remember Clive, it was our old colony
  4. Lou Reed died in southampton lol
  5. Is anyone technologically gifted enough to copy the image of the reverse into a program that can adjust the contrast etc. I have tried to copy the jpg file off the screen, but it doesn't want to paste into another jpg file.On my screen it looks as if there is an ascending 45 degree line right off the bottom LHS serif of the 1 and a slight disturbance by the top serif, both of which would be commensurate with a 2 Davidrj is good with photoshop
  6. We love pictures here Neil
  7. Something else bothering me about this Sovereign is the initials on the REV. The top of the BP seem Level with the top of the date, but comparing others of George V the bottom of the initials are level with the top of the date, might just be me or the picture. Anyone else, Stuart, can you compare yours?
  8. Raising a red flag as Rob has with Steve lockett you'd think they'd give it a good going over, we as hobbyists have raised several plausable Problems with the coin yet all he can say is "have you ever had one in the hand" does'nt seem very good ethics to me
  9. I thought the general consensus was 'if that's fake, we're buggered for these too'?Apparently he was told the day of the auction that LC had got it wrong and it was kosha. But i asked the question if anyone else was told in the auction room about their "mistake"
  10. I have my Fantasy Linda lusardi ear muffs ready for winter, apparently she moulded them
  11. Sad day I remember walking on the wild side (well, perhaps not as much as Holly from Miami FLA ) in 1973. Also how much of an impact the Transformer album had - before that, we thought Bowie was a maverick, a one-off, then along came Lou.... Bowie Produced the transformer album. He died in Southampton of all places
  12. Thats what i'm seeing to Peck, the old eyesight is a bit dodgy granted, but those 2 coins are pointing to beads. Nice coin pies, i won't mention the............
  13. You obviously have'nt read the topic closely Nicholas. The link at the beginning is a North Vol 2 on ebay and they post worldwide they say
  14. Aye it is Ski. Thanks, will have to get my buddy to purchase it from the UK as i'm going over in a few weeks and can Save a bit on the postagggggge being the Scotsman that i am Do you have a copy of Brooker Dave? A nice reference book if you're getting into Charles I coinage. Plus Michael Sharp's BNJ article of course. I have Brooker but not Michael Sharp 's article
  15. Looking forward to what 'Met' comes back with next, "anti-American racists" indeed!! Odd thing is ... he's based in the UK according to his profile! Its probably David Cameron
  16. Lol, easy stuart, this is only another Solution for the poster. I think they can easily be opened and closed much like a capaule
  17. These are pretty good 140874274011 you can add your own info to the Label
  18. Probably C H K Richard, those initials were also on the Bank dollar issues on the Armour by the shoulder
  19. Does to me also, the hair detail is quite a giveaway, its far to sharp
  20. on the other hand, asking first would have been much easier, now he has a "Major error" listed and still is and in the ebay blurb there is no description of what the actual "Major error" is
  21. Good man Peter. I Shall await your evaluation. Out of curiosity, could the camera from this ebay one not be removed and add your own for those who wanted a higher res picture?
  22. Obviously your coin as you have added to the description. Its maybe better to get the correct Info first before assuming its a Major error
  23. Good grief, they'll kill anything as Long as it makes them an extra Dollar. As for the AU grade, hahahahaha aye right.
