Dave is a Scot as was my motherinlaw She sent me to Coventry as I wasn't good enough for her daughter....still banged her. just the daughter and the current Mrs Peter My best man (we had kilts at the wedding, and button holes made by your's truly of Thistles and Roses) and good friend is a Scot, I keep telling him he needs studying!

i didnt know that............why so? They are unconventional denominations and the series is not extensive enough to make an interesting collection. You are restricted to two basic obverses and reverse types in three denominations including the 9d patterns, all within a 6 year period. You could expand it with the varieties of the number of acorns and leaf positions as listed by Davis, but even allowing for all the proofs in the different metals, you only have about 3 dozen coins. A shame really because some of them are quite rare. Three dozen? That sounds bliss to me!

Respectful Post! I would've left a blank acknowledgement if the forum system permitted it, and would've preferred to! There was always a '.' I guess! I remember getting excited about Krishnamurti about 4 years after he passed, I'm getting closer! Thoughts with his family!

my annual check up is not due until december but i like the coin......so is the considered opinion here that its been retooled/enhanced ????. I think the considered opinion is that it's NOT tooled/enhanced! I jumped on the thread late at night on an iPhone, not wishing for any potential issues to go unnoticed on Paulus' behalf, as he may have been making a last minute bidding decision etc...call it spontaneity if you will. As a comparison, I was at a live auction in Clevedon this year, and emergency posted on this forum, 15 minutes before the lot came up, so these things can happen! However, as I said earlier, and I'm in the minority (singularly) on this, I feel awkward about the veins. Enough that I wouldn't buy it out-of-hand myself, and I'm generally quite chancy! Ironically, if it was a poor picture I'd probably give it a go, simply because I would be in the playing field of the bold! Hey ho!

At first glance they appeared deeper than I would've expected, and a little 'awkward'! They still 'feel' awkward for me, however, the consensus is most definitely that the coin's a goer! Are you going for it Paulus?

Will get the laptop out in the morning to access my pictures, I'm pretty sure the H8 groat's a duffer too, but will have to check! Mine was a pretty good copy, about the right thickness and also had a rose privy mark, just can't remember if it was muled or not? Exact match, the groat's a duffer too! All gone Dah, dah!

You too, NewShillingCollector! Keep posting, and welcome aboard! Best regards, Stuart

dream on........ You never know, though, he hasn't got over 5000 good feedback like the Elizabeth pewter 3D seller, who eBay did NOT deal with, despite at least two separate reports!

A back-handed compliment is a compliment diguised as an insult!!! Us trying to insult people on the forum??? Absolutely not!!! It was recommended to us that we post the information and the pictures on this forum. We are not "posters" and did not even know the forum existed until a few days prior to our posting here. I have responded to your PM!

Precisely!

On the excellent, but dreaded iPhone, so could look different on a larger screen, but those veins don't look right to me! Are they a little too deep, comparative to the rest of the detail? Also, they look a tad too linear and out of alignment with the leaf IMO...check them against another example, I can't right now! Could be wrong, but it doesn't look straight to me, if you'll pardon the pun!

I'm sure it's a back-handed compliment that further confirmation has been sought here, AFTER an in-hand validation by Spink!

Many thanks for the update seuk!

There is also a thread on here, highlighting a major American TPGC's slab with the wrong denomination on it...no water for me either!

Perhaps you shouldn't bring him to the forum, Azda! I still can't believe there was an underbid of £80! Unbelievable!

it's just occurred to me, I think it's only the title you can't change in the latter stages, you can update the description at any time, if I'm not mistaken?

So he's still bullshitting the sale, then! It's not even like the whole things got a little bit out of control and he doesn't quite know what to do...he's still wilfully winding punters in! He who lives by the sword, and all that! How do you know the number of watchers, Sherlock?

Could be an interesting conclusion to the thread! Ask him if he wants mine for a fiver, that is when you strike up a 'conversation' with him?

Dropping the buyer a link to this thread would be class! Winning bidder so far is fhharrington 5th page of FB How do you do that? An element of deduction My dear Dr Watson. The user has bought from him before. I checked the high bidder initials and score, it was 56 when i was checking, it then changed to 57 so it had to be one and the same. The hidden names initials in the bidders list fit the ebay name along with score after trawling through his FB No s**t Sherlock, that's clever! You could've been John's Jam Sandwich partner, and talked coins all day long! That's a £50+ piece of pewter now, with 3hrs still to go! Might make a nice VF price! It can go to 200 quids worth of pewter, it won't sell Now i'm winning the bid You got a special crash-n-burn account I take it?

I have emailed him twice. The first time telling him it was a pewter replica. The 2nd time asking him why he hadn't added this to the listing. Reported to ebay who do diddly. I reported it this morning too! He's a 'top' seller with a lot of feedback, bet they ignore it! What really annoyed me about this one was the blatant 'what is it'? You mean he couldn't actually read ELIZABETH on the edge of the coin and, putting two and two together (ie the date), realise it probably isn't Elizabeth II? I've messaged him: "INTERESTING COIN DATED 1562 - WHAT IS IT?" - it's a replica coin, composition uncertain, but the thickness tells me it may be lead or pewter. I used to be a dealer and was taken in by one of these in the early days, and had to refund the sale price to the buyer. Since then I've become expert at spotting them. Yours is almost identical to the item I had. I'd recommend you either withdraw the item and relist it, or amend the description to reflect the fact it's a replica. Hopefully he will take the hint, but don't hold your breath... I'm turning blue already, Peck! We should definately have a dedicated thread for OBVIOUS ebay fakes, which has all members emailing simultanteously! From a specially dedicated ebay account, goes without saying of course! I think the fake-meisters would soon tire of it! I actually got a polite, but rather incoherent reply, to the effect it was too late to change the listing with only 12 hours to go!!! Looks like eBay are going to turn a blind eye and let some sucker get suckered! Over 5000 feedback, forgone conclusion really!
