Ebay does not make things that straightforward. That would allow bidders to be identified. The username is encoded into a random sequence, probably containing few of the original letters. In this case, the m and o are just coincidental as you can see that the seller has 125 feedback whereas the bidder has 234.

The reports may well be true, but the story isn't. Even a small amount of gold in the mix would cause all of the coins to be overweight and thus would be rejected.

Assistance with Die Study - 1787 Shillings & Sixpences
Nick replied to Madness's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
1787 sixpence (with hearts) I once obtained in a job lot. -
555 is area code for fictional telephone numbers (as seen in just about every US made TV programme or movie).

Proof Wreath Crowns? - Besides 1927 Mostly NOT
Nick replied to VickySilver's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I don't think they were intended for circulation, but it's certain that many did. -
Report it via Action Fraud.

It's not from Norfolk is it? 😉

Well done. A tidy price, but I'm sure it will be worth it in the long run.

Here's my 1929 halfcrown, which IIRC cost about £30.

Victorian die number question
Nick replied to Sylvester's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I'm not aware of any die numbers being used more than once. Having said that, human error must mean that a die number was mistakenly reused at some point. My understanding is that the die number is unique to the die, so where the date is on the obverse - it must be possible to have the same die number on different year coins, especially as the obverse dies did not last as long as the reverse dies. -
Looks better than EF to me. You could try a drop of ethanol to see if the black mark will shift, don't rub it though - just dab it dry.

1870 sixpences are rare, irrespective of die number. However, £102 for something approaching washer grade is a bit much.

young head threepence obverses 1 and 2
Nick replied to Mr T's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
The top of Victoria's ear is the easiest way to tell them apart, but the serif on the G does seem to be diagnostic. It's possible that the waves in Victoria's hair are slightly different, but you'd need high grade examples to verify that. -
I imagine you'll have some competition, but I doubt you'll ever see another in such high grade again. Good luck.

The McGowan Collection
Nick replied to cathrine's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I have also seen that Heritage sometimes use the wrong HS code and they should really know better. -
If I were still collecting, I would be looking at the 1848 and 1854 sixpences.

Open the case straight away. Whether he has already spent the money is his problem, not yours.

Seems to have all the tell tale signs.

Is the bottom falling out of the Penny market ?
Nick replied to secret santa's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
She also appears to be the missing appendix variety. -
plastic set proof half crown,
Nick replied to craigy's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I'm quite happy with the price I paid for mine (£45). -
plastic set proof half crown,
Nick replied to craigy's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Not quite as rare as first thought. There are more than just a few known. -
Looks genuine to me, but cleaned.

They also all have the same nicks and scratches on the obverse. For example, the dent in George's forehead. Here are two examples that were sold by LCA: http://www.londoncoins.co.uk/?page=Pastresults&auc=144&searchlot=1652&searchtype=2 http://www.londoncoins.co.uk/?page=Pastresults&auc=144&searchlot=1653&searchtype=2

As far as I'm aware, all of the fakes have the same breaks in the circle above the P and E of PENSE.
