  1. Lmfao, i own the Forum? I take my pill and swallow it when i'm wrong, i can hold my Hand up or i can defend what i'm saying. This forum will never be a ghost Town when i or you or anyone Else leave, i was merely asking you to calm down, i assume it was too radikal for you to hear from me? So, because a member or 2 has a problem with what i say everyone now has a Problem? Have you tanken a concencus of opinion or has this just come from you? If it's a concencus can I see the poll ?
  2. Blumen, right now you've going through a different generation, keep up the attitude and the knowledgable here won't want too speak or respond to you, so chill the flow out
  3. Pete, apparently i have a finest known 1860 halfpenny, i got a dude Last week Tell me "if CGS saw his they'd be blown alway" (apparently). CGS Are harsh graders, so to have a finest known in their Books is a feather, but bear in mind there is other coins out there and like a boxing champ everyone wil try and come at you, whT you need to keep in mind is that PCGS and NGC have lower standards
  4. The men in white coats have just been ,but told me i am passed help.Gotta chill dude. We're here to learn, we don't have to agree with any slab grade, especially American slabs, but you need to chill, it's a slab grade, so not a pop at you. Chill
  5. You have to understand some people take a CGS grade with a Pinch of Salt, others take slabs with the Same pinch, so calm the flower doon dude, you Sound like me 12 months ago
  6. Pete, Calm down, vickysilver is a very knowledgable contributor in the Victoria era regardless of metal, he knows his onions and is from America. Pete, you May want to Calm down before the Family Call the men in white coats:)
  7. The Rise of the SNP has Westminster(Tories mostly) treating Scots like we're back in the 1870s India and Part of the British Raj. Remember Cameron blubbering saying "please don't Break up our union" and then swiftly shit on and sneered at As soon As they have a majority Government. I'll Never forget IDS face when Osbourne announced that Britain will get a wage rise, like a man posessed, disturbing at best.
  8. I'm also going with GVF/NEF, its had a clean at some Point in its life, retoned Naturally/artificially but the tone highlights the dings/nicks and previous polishing/cleaning wonderfully, especially on the REV. I'm sure Londoncoins has a few for sale in their auction.. Take a Look, its free and you can also bid there
  9. Natural daylight, my camera is a 6 year old olympus Point and click Set at the highest Macro settings, i always try and use the Same background, either Black or white, i've no complaints about how they turn out so far, i've Even used the ipad for maundy or boxed sets.
  10. Thecoincabinet funnily enough there is not Even a hint of a slab in his pictures
  11. CGS 80 maybe
  12. You can Start at the smaller end for maybe around £50-£80, i went in at the deeper end and spent 1300 euros not to mention the replacement propellers i've had to buy due to hard landings and tipping sideways onto them, 2 sets are cheap enough though at 13 euros a set. Spare batteries cost 75 euros. I'm running at around 1450 euros just now Could have bought a coin with that lol
  13. The air rifle would be the cheaper option
  14. Also from this morning, at the lake just behind where we live
  15. Just added another video onto youtube. Slowly getting the hang of controlling the quad and filming at the same time, who said men can't multitask broke 2 rotor blades though. just doing another video of the lake Near me, I was there at 7am this morning. Next stop, castle Neuschwanstein hopefully
  16. What is the auction number? And what is CGS highest graded number?
  17. If you look at the rest of his silver he has for sale, every single coin has much the same colour tone which in my eyes is impossible to have from George II to VictoriaCould have all been in the one collection, kept in the same cabinet, cleaned long ago then stored for 50 years, they would all tone up the same. Not really impossible. Just thinking.....This one Must have been in the Same box then, cleaned at the Same time and toned the Same wayhttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361349885744?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D361349885744%26_rdc%3D1I think it seals the deal, No? Im not defending the seller, far from it. Personally I wouldn't buy a thing off him,toned, untoned, retouched or whatever. I tried buying a few very random coins off him when he had another account and was mysteriously run up by the same bidder on all the items. Needless to say he probably bought them off himself!Regards.. If it was Gold then i can give you the bidder name that run it up If you Look in the eBay section from around 18 months back you'll See something in there that i spotted with this seller and his gold. The Same bidder had tun up his gold auctions to the tune of 18,000 pounds, 30 mins after posting it they'd all gone and only his BINs were left, so he obviously reads the boards from time to time
  18. They just cleaned the counterstamp on this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1794-George-III-Great-Britain-Bank-of-England-Mexico-Silver-Pillar-Dollar-Crown-/361349928371?hash=item54222255b3

  21. Not saying its suspect, but the look far too similar, he's maybe had a Little photography wizard run over it to make them look darker which appeals to people As they then know they've not been dipped. Bid with caution if you decide to
  22. First thing that jumps out at me is the same tone on both coins. 2nd is the seller, he normally has a little helper pushing prices, so don't expect them to come cheap
  23. As Declan says Above, G5 was a coinie which i'm sure those at the mint knew, so you'd think they'd be on the ball when minting a new or variant of coinage considering the crap they had been pushing out in the earlier years of his reign
  24. Although as I think about this, maybe this specific coin was struck for royal approval or something like that and the mint (probably rightly) thought that a coin that appeared to have been minted two years ago might not convey the most professional appearance to the King. Nor would an overstrike. If it was to be showed to the King for approval then surely it would have to look the part and not just mint something over something else, still not convinced it is what it says on the tin
  25. Lol, it's the pilot who's unstable, not the drone
