Coin in Fake slab is exactlywhat ithought, i also thought fake coin hence it being in said fake slab. And its certainly not Even borderline EF, OBV is more Fine, but strange that the curls behind the ear are not as worn as the rest of the coin.

Either can i, hence the reason the population report would be interesting. The REV losing its gold colour is whats baffling

I would agree with all above gradings. Annes hair detail is one point of grading on the OBV and garter on the REV. 1st post pics you can see the garter as somewhat worn along with hair details on the OBV pictures. 2nd post pictures, hair deatils and garters are quite fully struck, so i'd give a thumbs up to all those grades.Buying the coins if rare items would'nt matter a jot on grades, it could be a Fine, but fetch way over what you'd expect to pay for that grade if its a rare coin.

Thanks again! I have made a donation to the North area charity for you. I will let you know when the coins arrive. A forum member kindly informed me you are a trusted coin dealer, so I googled your username and found your website. Mongo, just underneath where John (argentumandcoins) has written you'll see his link to his website, no need to google, just click on the link and it takes you there, along with other member who have websites. Just don't click mine, there's nothing there as i'm a lazy bar steward

American AU is our EF, but no way on gods green earth is that EF. Nonsense, of course it is. Any idiot can see it's Err Fine with the reverse probably Good Err Fine. I don't understand how PCGS, even with their grading system could possibly grade this as an EF. Maybe checking the number against the population report would shed some light? Anyone got acess to PCGS population reports?

From our favourite pair of ebayers. This 1804 Half Guinea seems to be losing colour on the REV graded as AU50 , i think someone really need specs whoever graded it as that at PCGS, is this possible for gold to lose colour? I also notice he has the same 1824 Sov listed as me also, will be interesting to see where that ends up. Same usual bidders though http://www.ebay.co.u..._fvi%3D1&_rdc=1 1804 Half guinea http://www.ebay.co.u..._fvi%3D1&_rdc=1 1824 Sovereign

Its not for buying, i was nust smiling at the European grading and ridiculous price of €450

Quoted as AEF, your opinions..

the amount of these that turn up on ebay, there must be around 10,000 unknown examples?? ;) It sold for 590 quid

Äh right, just around the same time ss carrsgher was born then

Neolithic mans weapons were surely for hunting John Not for sticking it into the neighbour, thats what eventually happened when the neighbour was caught in the cave with neolithic mans woman

I think what John meant was by the missing 12 years was that JC could'nt manage Liverpool when he's in his pampers, mind you i don't think many can manage Liverpool with an incontinence bag right now either.

Apologies, Richard, I'm not ignoring you, I just haven't had a chance to use the laptop today and checkout your suggestions! I have been working from the phone today, which doesn't give me all the full website features, settings etc! What phone are you using coinery? If the iphone it has an app for forums called IPB, this gives you full website functions, but its shite when predictive messaging kicks in and you don't check it before hand

The word swastika is an ancient Sanskrit word (svastikah) which roughly transltes to good luck or well being. Since its use by the Nazi party, its original meaning has pretty much faded into the distance and more often than not it is looked at as being a racist symbol, quite the opposite of its original meaning pre 1930's. Some take the shape as being 4x letter L's. Love, Luck, Life and Light. Good info just.me, thanks. You learn something everyday here

I was actually thinking it was a decent example apart from the clipping, its been graded as EF (American) and were looking for top Geld, hence the reason i asked before plunging or not, so i'll hold fire.

I understood the Name swastika to be associated with the nazis, i'm sure the symbol was'nt always known as swastika?

Ok Rob, thanks for the info.

You'd need something bigger to engrave on coinery, do you have a baseball bat handy? Sorry Debbie, i had to lol

Does clipping of a hammered coin detract from a hammered coins desirabiltiy as i'm thinking of buying this and not seen one quite as good, perhaps you have.

I thought Hitler etc were just dictators of countries and not exactly politicians

Religion and Politics, 2 of the main reasons of war throughout the ages

One for Debbie perhaps, although she may need to open the purse a little wider or raid the husbands pockets when he's asleep http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1671-Charles-II-SILVER-Crown-Unique-LOVE-Token-LARGE-COIN-/320903405878?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ab7556136

A very honest answer and i wiuld have said the same thing. What riles me about America is that they finaned the Afghanistan war in the 80s against the Russians but are more than annoyed when the same wespons are used against them and i'm more than sure they've played their part in the Arab uprisings from last year.

You should be able to knock him down to £130-140K. Oooooh change to its very nice though
