secret santa

Well done, boys.

I have messaged him several times telling him that this coin is not unique or rare but he ignores me and persists to fraudulently advertise it on Ebay. Maybe a few more messages from other collectors might convince him ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266776453944?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11011.m43.l1123&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=297be0ec5ffd48a1a674033d3c313703&bu=43154646029&exe=0&ext=0&osub=-1~1&crd=20240419233910&segname=11011

I messaged him to say that it was not the 1927 reverse and to mention the confusion of obverse and obtuse - he then changed the description to the "rare 1927 obverse". I then messaged him to say that it was not the 1927 obverse (M.E.) but he has not replied. Fortunately, no-one has been daft enough to bid on it.

Very common occurrence.

Happy to help.

Any updates yet, Bob ?

I have emailed Michael to see whether he has any copies left.

Obverse 3 - 138 border teeth

The closeness of the V to the linear circle supports this.

Will do !

Trotters ??? - I think the name gives it away Rodders.

Ditto - surprised this has taken so long to be noticed. Another date to pore over !!!!

I bought this coin as a forgery in November 1986 for £14 and sold it as such a few years ago for £30.

The seller doesn't own the reverse pictured so heaven knows what was sold, if anything.

Nope - access denied.

Clicking on the link only brings up the left hand side of the coin for me - it's the right half that will tell us the obverse type.

Yes, I'm conscious that I'm telling the manufacturers of these coins where they need to improve although that assumes that they're trying to produce absolute copies, which I'm not sure is true.

I'm building up some details of these fakes/replicas on my varieties site: https://headsntails14.wordpress.com/fakes-replicas/#top

I haven't seen any of these yet - do you have any pictures ?

Sold for £450 (maybe ?)

I've just looked at 8 photos of 1893 over 2 and they all feature that weakness in the horizontal bar.

I emailed the seller earlier. It makes interesting reading: Me: Can you confirm that the obverse photograph is of the same coin as the reverse photograph ? They are a different colour and taken with different backgrounds. Thanks Him: It's the same I have a crappie phone all my items I removed because I take hundreds photos. I already sent a video to a lady and I did polish the front with a silver jewllery cloth. The lady offered to buy it off here last night need to remove it but ebay got massive fees Me: You've been rumbled - That reverse photo is taken from London Coins website directly ! And who knows where the obverse is from. Best to take it down before you're in trouble Him: Well I've a video so no rumbled here lol I was asked for a live video which I sent the buyer they are happy and will be buying I've never once lied cheated so the fact you say that tells me your probably a scammer. Anyone could ask me for as msy photos videos with today's news on and they'd have it no problem. Seems a smart lady dealer was the only one so watch for the review after. And I've found a buyer for the rest of the collection too. you'll see the other penny also the one I was told wasn't real thank god I don't listen
