    "I don't know if its real or fake, so buy it as seen" one for the Repos thread too http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/COIN-FOR-SALE-UNKNOWN-QUICK-SALE/222667421020?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D47230%26meid%3D675f420a04d148fa803c0587dafed045%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D222667421020&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%253Aa7c99490-ab92-11e7-b0fd-74dbd1804cbb%257Cparentrq%253Af83b804115e0a9c4e2f79dc9fffb99b2%257Ciid%253A1

    Probably a few of mine in there too John, but the first few were bloody hilarious.

    This link doesn't go to a specific item, it's a whole page of completely bonkers Buy it Now prices. It must be a portal into a whole world of fantasy numismatics. https://www.ebay.co.uk/b/Tokens/58534?Period=19th%2520Century&rt=nc&_dcat=58534&_sop=3

    I usually put Numismatica on the CN 22. Handwritten in shaky cursive script. No probs so far.

    It looks to be a copy of a double sovereign which was issued as a cheap watch fob. St George & Dragon on the reverse. There's probably a flat spot above his head where the suspension ring's been filed off.
  6. bagerap
    I have an idea that they are coming out of Russia. There's a seller I've mentioned before who has previously sold some worryingly good fakes, although he's currently flogging Third Reich and Stalin era fakes.

    Take a look at the postage: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LARGE-BRONZE-ROYAL-MINT-MEDALLION-SIR-ISAAC-NEWTON-KING-WILLIAM-COAT-OF-ARMS/362071159053?hash=item544d1f710d%3Ag%3A5-YAAOSw9EZZksaQ

    Looking to be military, but for personal possessions rather than equipment. If it had the original hinges it would be easier to date.
  9. bagerap
    Interesting piece. Too small for a blanket box but seriously heavyweight timber used. As a suggestion, the top could be rotated so that the damaged section by the hinge becomes the leading edge. From that point it's not too difficult to trim and add a matching fillet of suitable timber, probably with a few biscuit joints. How do those front catches work? Is it just finger pressure?

    What sort of size Rob? Any photos. I'm time served as a cabinet maker but have not worked on the tools for a few decades.
  11. bagerap
    Post mint damage. Someone's hit it with a punch

    My mate Gabbie Connelly was the bass player before they made it. He married Jackie and she persuaded him that becoming a milkman had better long term prospects. The Daily Mirror did a centre page spread on him around 20 years ago.

    I've been away and so missed the dodgy "novelty" victorian pennies. I'm pretty much convinced that they all originate from a Russian seller on ebay. I managed to have him taken down for a few months but he's up again and still listing dangerously good copies.
  14. bagerap
    Fully agree with MrBE on WoC for your coin. I have a feeling that it may be a debased Bull & Rider jital, which would probably put it a way before 1600.
  15. bagerap
    Can you get that weighed, in grams? It's possibly a coin weight.
  16. bagerap
    But come on, he does have 90.7% positive feedback. What more could you ask of a seller?
  17. bagerap
    TBH, I hadn't considered Brunk, what's he like outside of North america?
  18. bagerap
    Thanks John. The date is within spitting distance but it's a long way from 1d to three shillings. As with all countermarks, you are left with the question, WHY?
  19. bagerap
    Gawd bless yer Guv.
  20. bagerap
    That is the coat of arms of Castile & Leon, but the coin looks to be a cast copy. Better pics, better ID. (Oh, and please turn off your Caps Lock)
  21. bagerap
    A very long shot I know, but does anyone have British Countermarks on Copper and Bronze Coins,James Gavin Scott, Spink & Son Ltd., London 1975 I'm trying to trace a CP counterstrike that I have on the obverse of a 3/- Bank token and have been lucky in the past matching copper and bronze countermarks to silver coin.
  22. bagerap
    Sorry Rob, I somehow missed your reply. Thank you. I've not seen anything like it before and I think it's neat.
  23. bagerap
    Me too. I'd assumed that it was a pension fund purchase along the lines of British Rail's huge art collection.
  24. bagerap
    This is only a tentative ID, any help appreciated although it's a lousy image. 10 mm, 0.6 gr.
  25. bagerap
    I do agree that the example shown looks very much more like an example of paleofaeces (human byproduct). The rough and ready way to field test them is that paleofaeces will generally yield to the hammer. Coporolites don't.
