  1. I was always under the impression that the tide on the 1897 had to be above the folds on britannias robe for it to be a high tide?
  2. Is it me or is this NOT a high tide? 321939581443 Same seller has an 1841 halfpenny saying its FDC but it's graded at CGS85 which is choice UNC according to the CGS list of grading numbers. FDC is proof but it doesn't look proof to me Same seller again has an 1893 penny graded from CGS and does look like 3/2 but how CGS would have missed that I've no idea
  3. Here's an open 3 for you David 401036500352
  4. Explains alot*country*cottage*interiors* previously, that was his wifes eBay name, he took it over after he was Mentioned in these boards an awful lot for a few things such as dipping and overgrading etc etc etc
  5. Yup
  6. Yes it had me smiling as well Richard. The orb in the REV is worn to death and there has been dipping involved, you can see the staining left over. I loved the "razor sharp detail" blurb in the description
  7. I bet someone is going to be spitting their afternoon coffee out. 111840279589 description price compared to achieved price. Ebayers have finally woken up
  8. Initially I would contact the seller and explain that tape is a no go, if they then offer to take it back I wouldn't leave a neutral, I' probably not leave a feedback incase I got carried away
  9. Alles gutes zum Geburstag
  10. I'd give the Sov much higher at about CGS 70-75

    I'm sure you can find the crown on it's own elsewhere for far less than £300. This is what i'd call a kiddy on set which is obviously made up to get rid of low grade coins at OTT prices.
  12. Seller states "it seems too thick and selling as a copy"
  13. Isn't horse racing still called the 1000 guineas? Or a particular race
  14. Not sure about the ipad Paul, but it does get good results especially when trying to take pictures of coin sets, point and click, job done
  15. I find the ipad takes a better picture
  16. I assume it's the Sovereign type weight Rash. I wonder what it's actually made of.
  17. Assurance has gone out the window just now as a near perfect fake slab with a fake coin was found http://www.coinworld.com/news/world-coins/2015/11/california-dealer-discovers-fake-krugerrand-in-fake-holder.html# What intermediate coin buyer is going to dispute an NGC slab, or even a bullion buyer?
  18. Cost of coin + cost of slabbing + ebay & paypal fees = the mark up. Slabbers think that if a coin is in a graded holder that will mean an easy sell at whatever Price it's listed at, but what they don't seem to realised is that only the finest will realise that premium, the fact CGS is a British targeted market only will make it equally difficult to sell As there's not a huge following of their slabs or slabs in general in the UK market.
  19. The problem is that CGS slabs are only recognised by UK buyers, slab collectors generally want either PCGS or NGC slabs, a PCGS collector would crack open an NGC slab and send to PCGS.

    Never heard of it to be honest.
  21. The mint to this day STILL have quality problems.
  22. Happy birthday old bean
