    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    I immediately emailed the auction house about this but never received an acknowledgement.

    That 4 looks on the slant to me - or am I seeing things ?
  3. Exactly. You just can't rely on photographs to reflect reality.
  4. Here are 2 1806 pennies, both sold as F1328 Bronzed - compare the colours !
  5. I agree that it looks like copper. Bronzed specimens tend to look a browny-pink (see below) .
  6. Happy New Year to all collectors and may you find that elusive coin you've been after for years !
  7. Yes, on P1325, 1326, 1327 and an unrecorded mule (which I own an example of). See my website - https://headsntails14.wordpress.com/george-iii-1805-06-patterns-proof-restrikes/

    Penny with superb provenance.

    Much better picture than the Laurie catalogue.

    As Peckris says, acknowledge the source out of politeness. I'm sure that most sites realise that their images can and will be downloaded. And for those that can't, I screenshot the webpage, paste it into a Word document and then save the image as a jpeg file where it can be cropped with something like Adobe Photoshop.

    Yes, I added it to my rarest pennies site.

    Just noted as "extremely rare" with no valuations.

    Spink's Coins of England 2024 has finally included my proposed penny additions of 1847 Medusa, 1858 Large Rose (although they have mysteriously duplicated the entry), 1862 over 1, 1862 VIGTORIA and 1863 open 3.

    A comparison of two auction houses

    I have to disagree with this. It is possible to negotiate (sometimes to zero) the seller's premium with some auction houses, in which case the seller gets the hammer price and the auction house covers its costs through the buyer's premium (commission).

    I got confused - I believe that he is Guy Fornquerne (or Guy Fie) from the Coinery Auction.

    I don't think so.

    Any garden pics this year?

    I didn't realise that these animals live in Telford - that's gnus to me.

    Is this Penny F8B?

    Because F763 is scarce rather than rare, I've just included one example of both A+b and A1+b rather than every example I've seen.

    Is this Penny F8B?

    Absolutely (I omitted the ** by mistake). Gouby A where R & E of REG touch at base.

    Is this Penny F8B?

    I think it's a F763 (1+B) but I've been staring at it for hours.

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    That's the second time he's taken it down - probably hoping that no-one will notice.

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    I've just tried to report it to Ebay but got switched to a Police Action Fraud site - they're obviously not going to bother with something like this.
