secret santa

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/

Happy New Year to all collectors and may you find that elusive coin you've been after for years !

Grinch !!!!

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

But, as Jerry says, it's back again.

Yes, I use Arcsoft which is very simple to use to reduce the "density" of the image from 1-100%.

I also messaged him yesterday saying that I was going to contact Ebay today. The combination seems to have worked.

Another Chinese fake. These are appearing much more frequently. I've emailed him but he's ignored me. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394980540821?hash=item5bf6acc195:g:BG4AAOSwhUZlR9TA&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA0LToAQl%2Bv5lruS1VjgEBdalvLMF%2BqEkIIY7gbS7fpOGc9YC72%2BSTmpJlLO%2F0hmkF95zWFedv7giPVEq2I60cDDws6qptmTtUcJaSQ6dQ7G%2B5eG4N%2FoWHyQS8FjdTx70b34Cu638eituxW%2Fsp%2FMY0aXUxIEXcJ85YjWVGJvlbv75v4kYxrzJjx5qfFJC5tqKCuBwBjvDa0lPfulufuMiqy5Jqy%2BZabc22Icg8d4uA2ZG763NR7xohWZTb2fv1d4uKwwxofaEhY9qfczZ%2BXyvzpFc%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR67zs5r0Yg

Mine is very similar - very clever, although there seems to be signs of activity.

And he's taken it down again.
