  1. I know of forgery Network but don't use it due to it being pretty difficult to navigate. I find predecimal.com much easier when looking at fakes
  2. Lets look at it this way Peter. If CGS were a garage and rejected every car they thought was a pile of junk they would'nt be in business very long. They are in the slabbing business and can only slab what's submitted. If people are stupid enough to slab a £1 coin and buyers stupid enough to buy it for £15 then its their problem. You and most collectors know what its worth and won't touch it. The seller will probably spend £15 on listing fees before its sold
  3. So people can make more money divemaster.
  4. Okay I will, thanks Dave, Stuart, Peter! I have laid out the princely sum of just under a tenner so far, so I don't feel I should have done it earlier!! I have about 10 books so far but none about hammered specifically ... Books are invaluable Stuart, especially if you intend to collect the subject. What we need though is a modern day book of fakes, i think that would be a best seller, outstripping even Harry Potter lol
  5. I've seen many more sellers saying people SHOULD buy TPGs slabs, its like they're trying to mass panic them into believing they have got to do so.............Sheep spring to mind Oh and MS61 is UK GEF/AU
  6. Ah yes, i can see them to, under the chin and going from the legend to the beard and unpwards to the lip
  7. The article that 1949 posted is basically there to tout American TPGs if you read it carefully
  8. Before After
  9. The final price will tell
  10. You should buy the book before the coin Paul
  11. Can't see any description about the coin, i can see however a full page description about postage rates and where he posts to
  12. Happy Birthday Bioab (the Scottish Version of Bob)
  13. Even so, such a tragedy to so many innocent people/families and those school kids who must eventually go back to that School, how will it also effect them in the Long run. Its about tine America done something about the ease of purchasing a gun. Hopefully something good will come out of yer another atrocity.....
  14. It was spinks or another british auction house i'm sure Rob but was in a different Position to mine
  15. My aFDC halfcrown (matte proof) only because of the flattening to the rim, funnily enough i saw one in auction recently with the same flat spot and wonder if this was a minting flaw?
  16. God i Love this forum banter i'll be looking after xmas Stuart, you have 13 days left yet to fill your boots
  17. Hello ladies, i'm here and reading. I have to admit that i did like the coins you previously posted Stuart, i'm also leaning towards the Charles I/II coinage along with just nice specimen coinage. More Reading to be done on the farthing side first before purchasing anything plus the purse is closed until next year but u will get a copy of the book. Ps, book purchased:)
  18. Also reported it due to the fact he relisted it and STILL did'nt mention it was a forgery
  19. Opinions of this crown, the REV legend looks suspicious, like the Northumberland Shillings where the tops are missing off the serifs..................Use the magnified view for a better look, also the OBV looks as though it has a few cast holes? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/XXXX-RARE-1696-WILLAIM-III-OCTAVO-SILVER-CROWN-5-UK-BRITAIN-COIN-VF-gVF-S-3472-/230850856924?pt=AU_Coins2&hash=item35bfc887dc
  20. Probably better sticking to coins
  21. I see Mr Platt and his mate are at it again, the one with the 9032 FB http://offer.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&_trksid=p2047675.l2565&rt=nc&item=121033458798
  22. Maybe invest in an ultrasonic cleaner that would hopefully shake off most of the dirt, along with some hot water.
  23. Good Fine, bent, possibly a soil find and cleaned?
