    You are right about 'Centisles'. He has been the topic of conversation on this Forum many times. Stay away...he is bad medicine!

    The variety doesn't go away just because it isn't marked on the slab. -True, but I was just demonstrating the lack detail by the slabbing companies. I bought an MS65 1887 sixpence R/V misattributed by PCGS as a shilling with no error. Broke it out of the slab, sent it to NGC from whence it came back properly attributed and MS66. Big win! - This happens all the time. Many already slabbed coins are re-submitted in an effort to get a better grade. Its called upgrading!

    You are right about the mistakes made on varieties. I sent a 1922/27 Penny in for slabbing (with variety documentation) and it came back slabbed as 1922 Great Britain Penny. The value dropped quite a bit! Ha,Ha.

    I'm with you Mike...No :-)

    There is also a really nice 1844 Farthing (probably EF or better) for 495. but it is also covered with "green." Such a shame! :-)

    Removed, due to error in listing.....

    David, I have always thought it might have been a modified "5", to make it pass as a 3, when a 3 punch was not available.

    Below is a reference from Gouby's Book. Notice the Open 3 has a spike at the top left of the 3...

    The thing I noticed from the start about the open 3 on the ebay coin, was that it had a flat (left) downward projection for the top of the 3, while the real open 3 coin has a "spiked" projection. Also, on the ebay coin, the middle stroke of the 3 points points to below the bottom of the 6, while the real open 3 coin has the middle stroke of the 3 pointing to the middle of the lower half of the 6. I do not believe the ebay coin is a 1863 open 3. jmho...

    That looks like Michael Gouby's example.

    Excellant example Richard. I was watching that one also. I was surprised when he lowered the price, and relisted it from 20k ($)to 10k...seemed a little odd. Your coin is the best I have ever seen, of that overdate. Great purchase!

    Nice one Mike, good pickup! btw...Have you ever noticed the large number of coin collectors named Michael? Michael Freeman, Michael Gouby, and Michael (1949Threepence)!
  13. RLC35
    I have not heard of any new copys, how about anyone else? I still have mine. :-)

    Thanks Dave for letting us know. I have put a condolence on David's Facebook page.

    Nice coin. I like the clash mark, front and back (arm and curl). GEF.

    It appears most of the recent fakes are coming from Manchester...what's with that!

    I have never seen so many rarities offered in one auction! Looks like the penny boys will be going broke on this one!
  19. RLC35
    I got caught on that one...never paid any attention to the date! LOL...
  20. RLC35
    I think it is just a "Hickey" (tender bite) from Prince Albert!
  21. RLC35
    I don't know who was the buyer, but Martin Platt was the seller (azda's best friend! Ha,Ha). Decent example, and well worth the price, despite the scrub marks on the reverse.
  22. RLC35
    Nice DF.I.....
  23. RLC35
    It is especially hard to find a 1825 farthing with a sharp, un-doubled "5" in the date. Almost all of them have a doubled 5, either higher or lower than the original 5!
  24. RLC35
    No MIke, That isn't mine. Yours has a little better shield, than mine had.
  25. RLC35
    That might have been the 1869 (VF) that I sold him in 2015. He is a really goofy guy! Very unprofessional!
