    Thanks Rob.

    Any info on these please?
  4. mrbadexample
    If you hadn't posted I'd be blissfully unaware. However, I fail to see the value in a statement from an authority like the press. The same press that tell us about the £3000 50ps "selling" on ebay?

    It looks suspicious to me. That extra bit of metal joining the leaf to the edge at 2-3 o'clock on the reverse is present on the fakes, isn't it?
  6. mrbadexample
    Ahh, does this just mean that CGS no longer exist, but LCGS carry on regardless? Not quite so significant in that case.
  7. mrbadexample
    Maybe Pete, but I think we'd seen it coming?
  8. mrbadexample
    How was that not rejected for verdigris?
  9. mrbadexample
    I understand. My example was someone taking the piss.

    I spotted a seller once who had the same 1905 half crown listed three times. Once individually, and twice as parts of sets. If I'd had more cash he would have been explaining why he couldn't fulfil the three orders I'd placed...
  11. mrbadexample
    You're the bl**dy reason!
  12. mrbadexample
    I wouldn't have bought it before.
  13. mrbadexample
    If you want me to spend on a coin, I'd like to be able to see it. I don't think I'm alone in this respect.
  14. mrbadexample
    I look at the one after BRITT, because until you mentioned it the other day I wasn't aware of the difference in the other one.
  15. mrbadexample
    Not very bright, are they? The BM is about the last thing I look at, since it's usually difficult to make out on a photograph. I reckon the colons before and after BRITT are the easiest, and it would have to be pretty rough not to be able to make those out.
  16. mrbadexample
    Blimey, is that silver?
  17. mrbadexample
    Agreed. If I hadn't seen them all together I probably wouldn't have picked up on it.
  18. mrbadexample
    They all have an extra bit of metal joining a leaf to the right hand edge on the reverse.
  19. mrbadexample
    No, I think you could have.
  20. mrbadexample
    You couldn't know the seller was "all at sea" until you contacted them. If they had decided the pull the listing and send to e.g. LCA for auction, Jerry would have lost out on a nice bargain. If the same happened to something you had your eye on, would you be happy?
  21. mrbadexample
    Well, I guess that no-one "helpfully" informed the seller of what they had.
  22. mrbadexample
    Not if they think they can get away without doing so they won't.
  23. mrbadexample
    Just out of interest, why?
  24. mrbadexample
    There really isn't any need, or much point, unless you offer it at a reasonable price. You are probably well aware that you're not comparing like with like. The 1862 is one of <600 000. Your 1872 is one of >7 000 000.
  25. mrbadexample
    I'll probably have my nose in a book too.
