  1. 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.
  2. Thecoincabinet funnily enough there is not Even a hint of a slab in his pictures
  3. CGS 80 maybe
  4. 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
  5. The air rifle would be the cheaper option
  6. Also from this morning, at the lake just behind where we live
  7. 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
  8. What is the auction number? And what is CGS highest graded number?
  9. 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
  10. 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

  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. Lol, it's the pilot who's unstable, not the drone
  18. I can buy your Theory to a certain degree David, so to further convince me, how many other die Trail strikes would have been struck in the Same way? Surely if they were going to Trail strike they would strike what they were exactly wanting instead of striking over another number or letter etc?
  19. This was from last Saturday at the Olympia park. Turn the sound down, I forgot to do it on the camera itself. http://youtu.be/wDpjecoS_KA
  20. Just phoned them to ask about exchanging the Camera for the 4k one, have to wait on an Email reply and see what it will cost. Just uplaoding a small video from the Olympia Park from last Saturday, its not great and will be going back this weekend and trying again
  21. Ah I see! That's what I didn't get from flying it around I guess, as it was someone else's I assumed it was 'plug and play' so to speak. I guess the DJI is for the guys who spend hours a day working with them as opposed to the majority that just want to fly them around for a while every few days/weeks. I'll have to check out more on this Yuneec in that case. www.yuneec.com
  22. Are we sure the slab is real?
  23. eBay,pl was a big giveaway
  24. Trying a bigger image
  25. The 6 does look dodgy, look at the bottom loop of it both sides, something is poking out
