  1. Is this another similar fault? I don't think it's post mint.
  2. Well I thought we'd peaked, but apparently not: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1965-One-Penny-Hand-Enamelled/352198403619?hash=item5200a92623:g:2j0AAOSwX9FZGFUP
  3. Well that's no issue. Send it back at their expense, not as described. Leave appropriate feedback.
  4. I had been thinking that we should have an "ebay's best offerings" thread. It's not all bad.
  5. Just as well. You can't be my friend on Faceache unless you've been round my house for a cup of tea.
  6. Have you signed up then Pete? Do you want to be my friend?
  7. Then you should speak up. It's always going to happen: Q: "What's this worth?" <Hmmm, I'd like to buy that> A: "Scrap mate. Fiver tops." <Hmmm, I've no interest in that> A: "Twenty quid mate."
  8. Is it wrong to be slightly tempted? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Defaced-1905-Edward-VII-Penny-with-what-looks-like-an-Owl-on-Skis/132381311148?hash=item1ed28a80ac:g:1m8AAOSwy0JZ7dH4
  9. I wouldn't have an issue if it was described as a fantasy, but it isn't.
  10. I thought the same about this one. The dot, although very weak (and if it is even a dot), does seem to be in exactly the right place. If it's a result of die degradation, it probably starts small, right?
  11. I prefer the term "fantasy" for this sort of thing for exactly that reason.
  12. I did wonder if that might be the case. Strange how they worried about it getting into circulation - I don't think it would have been particularly easy to spend.
  13. Blimey - any idea what happened to it?
  14. It's ok. I have one of yours. It was made here though.
  15. Quite. Send them back home please Voynov!
  16. I think you should buy a lottery ticket. It looks like one to me.
  17. I've always found DNW pictures to be pretty good.
  18. Only the 1927 was proof, from the sets. There are currency issues of the others. I've got a 1929 in about VF.
  19. Nope. Nowt subtle about it at all.
  20. Now there's pretty. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GB-VICTORIA-COPPER-PENNY-1854-NICE-GRADE-861-22/401431860975?hash=item5d773416ef:g:Ke4AAOSw9fNZh1yE
  21. Sniping is possible but more difficult. Firstly, there's no accurate countdown. Secondly, if the current bid is at £20 and you snipe at £40 and win, you win at £40. On ebay you'd win at £20 + 1 bid increment.
  22. Noted. I guess we'd see more examples if it was a different die. There is absolutely no trace of the stop, but more die fill is evident in the following pictures:
