  1. They are. This would never pass muster with Mr Average Joe, once he's pulled his loupe out and checked for the micro-lettering.
  2. Plus the TT in BRITT. Clear to me. Now that you've pointed it out.
  3. No, weary looking courier.
  4. I concur. They didn't even charge me extra postage when I bought my Swedish 4 daler weighing a little over 3kg.
  5. Custom is clearly not important to them, is it?
  6. That's very often Paddy. If ebay didn't put the thumbnails over the picture it wouldn't matter.
  7. It's not really about the rarity Rob, something like that can easily stop me distinguishing between two Freeman numbers, one of which I may have and one of which I may not. Or worse, cover an edge knock or other defect. It will affect their pocket, albeit in a statistically insignificant way, because I won't buy what I can't see.
  8. The one I originally linked to is still the same Mike.
  9. Yes, I'd noticed but it wasn't really and issue. Having to steal the girlfriend's ipad is though...
  10. The thing is Jerry, I can't. I'm on a PC, and not all sellers have the zoom function enabled, so that's all I can see. Clicking on the picture doesn't open it up. I don't know if it's the same on a tablet or phone? Edit: I can see the picture if I use the ipad...
  11. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1898-Great-Britain-Penny-Very-Nice-FREE-U-S-SHIPPING/333130983047?hash=item4d90276687:g:TzIAAOSwE99W6yZq How am I supposed to check for a bisect 8 then? Good work ebay.
  12. Looks ok (albeit cleaned) to me. Polish poltorak (3 polker). Cheap as chips and plenty around.
  13. Only the second one I've seen where the top of the ear is still intact (the other being the far superior one Terry found), although no doubt there are plenty I haven't seen. Chuffed to bits, and the seller included a free halfpenny too.
  14. Mine's 28.4g. I can't tell what's off with the ebay one either. I guess people are bidding to resell as genuine.
  15. I didn't even know that one existed.
  16. Click this bit. It's very far from obvious.
  17. That's me out then. Pete says I should concentrate on better quality, not rang.
  18. You must be chuffed with that Mike, it looks beautiful.
  19. Generous of you Mike, but I'd say he knows exactly what he's doing.
  20. Neither is a genuine first issue. Fewer lines across the body is a giveaway.
  21. Being Mr Tod the Fox, Samuel Whiskers and Tommy Brock. If you care.
  22. Thanks Richard. Another gap filled.
