    What IP address does your computer think is www.goldbergcoins.com? Run a command prompt (cmd.exe) and type 'ping www.goldbergcoins.com' (without quotes). My DNS gives me 209.222.0.237.

    a. The replicas fail to recreate the prooflike quality. b. They also struggle to replicate the edge lettering. c. It comes from China.

    Another dodgy 1847 crown.

    Just because a seller decides that returns are not accepted, it doesn't mean that the buyer cannot return the item. If the item is not as described then eBay will side with the buyer and the seller can like it or lump it.

    Those florins of 1911-1919 are notoriously weak and slightly unpatriotic - "Two and a half lions on my shield".

    Link. An excellent illustration of why CGS need to improve their photography. The seller's photos are vastly superior and show the coin 'warts and all' which is what CGS should be doing, given that it is their business.

    You could try disabling the Firefox Silverlight plug-in. Using the icon with three horizontal bars (top right corner) click on "Add-ons" then "Plugins" on the left hand side menu. Scroll down to find Silverlight and change from "Ask to Activate" to "Never Activate".

    You could add "Adblock Plus" as an extension to Firefox. That would help to preserve some system resources.

    You have 500k allowance per post right here - there's absolutely no need to use Photobucket. Unless you want to, of course. Or you want your image inlined at its original size.

    Davies is usually good at picking the best features for determining varieties, but for the Jubilee head halfcrowns he didn't. I could never work out what the open/closed lace at front of veil was all about. Michael Gouby's method makes it much easier.

    1. 80 (1 + A) 2. 88 3. 78

    A better picture would definitely help.

    1. Probably cleaned. It's not easy to tell from the photo. 2. It is 5 + B (using Davies terminology). 3. Probably no better than EF, although if cleaned then grade is not particularly relevant.

    There is a setting in PhotoBucket that allows you turn off those URL tags permanently. Go to your PhotoBucket page and hover over the vaguely head shaped icon (top right of page) and select "Settings". Then select "Albums" and remove the tick from "Link back to albums", save and URL tags will be a thing of the past.

    It is as Dave says - don't use IE. Just tried it and I can't paste direct into a post, nor can I paste a link into an image control.

    Here's an example from a PhotoBucket hosted image: Paste via "IMG" link straight into post: If your image is not displaying in the same way toggle the button on the top left of the toolbar so you can see the "code" behind the post and compare with this post.

    And how was it shared between more than one grandad?

    Initially, I thought it was the same but the C and the R look different.

    I think it's supposed to be reminiscent of the font used on the original Churchill crown.
  22. Nick
    At least there will only be 200,000 of these. There were nearly 20 million 1965 Churchill crowns.

    It is the same as his name. You would have to PM him as he hasn't accessed the forum in the last 9 months.
  24. Nick
    No problems here, (Chrome + PC).

    This particular seller's grading is usually way too high. You need to replace the word "virtually" with "nowhere near" and it will seem more accurate. Just have a look at the "choice high grade" 1905 florin that he is selling. He grades it as about EF, whereas it is much more like VF.
