And quite right too. The English language is a beautiful thing. Innit? Aye, but those darrn Yanks srewed it up

Ah possibly the cleaned coin? I had'nt refreshed the page before seeing the other comments

P.S coinmerchant, watch your spelling. Peckris likes to pick at these minor details when possibly writing to fast and highlight these in extreme bold lettering. Peckris is Mr Perfection, so make sure you write to, too and two where it should be written and also your and you're

I bought a lot which apparently included 2 maundy sets. Now bear in mind maundy Sets have 4 coins, both had original boxes but only the boxes were poctured. When the Sets arrived, there was 1 coin missing from 1 set and 3 coins missing from the other dated box. The 1 coin left in that dated box was'nt the correct coin for that box. I bidded on basically for 2 maundy sets and basically did'nt Even get a set, i emailed them stating maindy sets contained 4 coins and was quite pissed off TBH, they refunded me the complete outlay, and so they should have or Else i would have been Talking to trading Standards

And should we try and guess what your Point is?

I've invited him to come and join in the laugh and Tell us all how he grades and maybe give us a list of the fools that actually buy from him and think his grading is correct. His 1906 shilling in EF+ is a stunner to, i actually thought the grade was merely Fine, shit, what do i know

I don't know him lol

This is apparently AEF with mint lustre. Been corresponding wirh him regatding his grade but he's having none of it. I'm ashamed to say ge's from my home town. 370640758841 can someone pop the url in, i'm on the aye phone

Another from China http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261087530863;jsessionid=DBC686C3C27968171B53B64EB03F10E9?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D261087530863%26_rdc%3D1

I See them here in Germany and they're wanting €200 for a GEF, i just smile and go by them. As Rob says, its a shame because they are nice Coins. Bank Dollars are strange to, they have a very interesting history to them, some with underlying Detail of the Host coin yet trying to sell one is difficult.

Decent coin, unfortunately they are like the Bank Dollars, quite hard to sell.

In a word - yes. Must be your phone or whatever. On my monitor I can see quite clearly the eyebrow, eye complete with pupil, nose and nostril, and lips, all well defined. And that's from a small picture. So this shilling would be GEF then? My view, pretty much. Like a few earlier milled, the striking is a bit weak. The hair and Garter star show this. But as to wear, well, apart from possibly a little at 12 o'clock on the rim, there is none. Therefore GEF. Looks like i've listed it to cheap then

Please do, it's been sat on the bay for 2 months

my annual check up is not due until december but i like the coin......so is the considered opinion here that its been retooled/enhanced ????. It might be hard to tell unless a much larger picture was uploaded ski. Coinery brought that up early on, about the leaves. Tried specsavers? As always, the opinion is, if you like the coin, buy it

In a word - yes. Must be your phone or whatever. On my monitor I can see quite clearly the eyebrow, eye complete with pupil, nose and nostril, and lips, all well defined. And that's from a small picture. So this shilling would be GEF then?

In a word Dave (to your first question), no. I have had several of these through my hands and that kind of roundness seems to be the way they left the mint (shillings are a little different). It would in any event be odd for the face, which is protected by the hair and laurel wreath to wear before the higher points of the design. I did look - and don't forget this is only a photograph - to see whether the veins in the leaves had been tooled but I don't think so. I'll stick with GVF. Incidentally, what grade did the dealer give it? Well i also thought it strange that the hair detail was there and the face not, so i can live with that arguement. You'd have to ask Paul about grade, not sure what it was as he never mentioned it.

Was going to try and play around with the uploaded picture but it won't do much more than has already been uploaded. Now that you've kinda sorted the photo issue out i would agree that its a better grade than what we first encountered in the first picture. You need to invest in a camera, thos fangle digi things cost about 100 quid for something decent and you'd be amazed at the results you get. Here's one of my shots from a simple Olympus 8.0 Million mega pixel camera, marco setting and highest resolution

I have to say, whoever is rating this as GVF really needs some eyes testing. Can you see the wear on the face of George? Yes there is some good detail around the coin, but the face detail is almost gone, am i missing anything?

Being a newbie and asking advice is fine. When you don't heed the advice then you are basically saying you know better. Tomgoodheart posted a halfpenny picture of an EF and asked if it was the same. I gave you my opinion of Grade from your picture, but you said it was your picture that was crap, personally i still think its the coin. If you want to heed opinion as a newbie then great stuff, if not and you think long time collectors are wrong then u think you will fall very quickly. Advice has been given, if you'd like to prove us/me wrong then please post a better picture so we can more accurately grade and and see why it would be underweight. Just my opinion again but i doubt an ultasonic cleaner however powerful could reduce the weight of a coin.

He's also had a neg for selling a fake watch

dream on........ I agree ski, eBay do f all when fakes are reported, maybe because they know f all about coins

And let us know if/when and where you sell your coin

I'd go with VF, a lot of wear to the face

Best posting a new oicture because yours definately does'nt Look EF from your picture. So, judging from the other commenr "did any get Out" you're hoping its an error worth cash? I'd go with Robs theory of acid

EF-UNC? From the picture i'd say Fine grade
