  1. I've told Neil I'll have it for that if the winner changes his or her mind.
  2. Well, if it got posted to me before the real bidder complained, would I be obliged to return it? "Sorry, I can't remember what I did with it..." Although someone's probably pleased with that win so I couldn't in all conscience do it. I'd be cross if it was me.
  3. I'm half tempted to pay for the 1919KN, working on the same principle.
  4. In the light of Danz's post, you should probably make sure you actually bid on all of those. Now....whose 1919KN penny am I being asked to pay £65 for? I don't mind paying, but I will expect the coin.
  5. I think that would sort my Christmases out for the next 30 years. Nice haul.
  6. Is is indeed, well spotted. I didn't think we were looking at just 1861, although think most of the others are. The early 1860s seem to have the most problems from what I've looked at.
  7. Lot 44 is showing as sold at 1 bid so think that should be mine. Would dearly like to know who outbid me for lot 3. And 131. And 181. And 147. And 210. And 221.
  8. Well if I have, I can't find them. I've got a few missing bits and pieces but not all on the same coin like yours.
  9. Don't think this is terribly uncommon - I'm sure I've got a couple like that. I'll see what I can find when I get back from work.
  10. I picked up one from Dave Craddock in EF for £14. Happy with that.
  11. Good luck mate, hope you get this satisfactorily resolved whether verified as genuine or refunded.
  12. Does that mean I don't have to spend the weekend looking at it every 5 minutes?
  13. I'd have been very happy with it for £8. Think I went to £14 before throwing the towel in.
  14. I was the first bidder because I thought it was a decent example and cheap. Now it's not cheap and I'm out.
  15. I might have a bid on that 1964 error.
  16. The one I really wanted was way over my limit at the lowest estimate. Tough to bid again. <sob>
  17. Neil's ever so friendly. Keeps emailing me. Outbid again, this time on the one I really wanted.
  18. Ah, so it was the 5 berries bit that wasn't attributed, not the mule? Just shows there are bargains to be had out there. One day I might get one.
  19. Which lot Colin? 'tweren't me, is all I can say.
  20. Is that something you can elaborate on VS? I would appreciate any help in spotting fakes, although it's unlikely I'll ever have enough spare cash for the 1934. I've had a look at the photos on the other forum too, and whilst I can't pretend I really know what I'm looking at, I note two areas that might be a sign of casting. The crack above the E and the slightly grainy edge as per these pictures - am I on the right track?
  21. Their website is currently down. One would hope it's crashed under the volume of complaints.
  22. What do you think they'll do if there are no "elite" members and no-one's using them any more? I can't for the life of me see what they're trying to achieve.
  23. You've probably got most of them anyway. I had great difficulty narrowing it down to about 8.
