    I tried putting a couple of bids in last night but they didn't appear to be submitted for some reason. Do you get email confirmation or anything?
  2. mrbadexample
    Which might suggest this is one of those restrike thingies?

    Thanks Rob. I was confused about the K because I couldn't make it out on the photos on Colin's site. This has a K on the reverse. Do the others have a K both sides or just on the obverse?
  4. mrbadexample
    Is this it?

    Afternoon all. Just trying to confirm whether this is P1398 with the incuse dot on the shoulder drapery. Sorry about the lousy photos. Thanks in advance. MBE

    I think it's the word "cartwheel" that sets 'em off.
  7. mrbadexample
    Yeah, I think it's right but surprised the weight is high when the example's in the smaller range for diameter. As you say though, could be an error. Monumental task is about right too - fantastic reference is Krause. Where do I sign up to the aforementioned forum?
  8. mrbadexample
    Something's not right. The weight doesn't fit.
  9. mrbadexample
    This is the correct Krause entry I think: I wouldn't know how to recognise the date though.

    It's Nepalese I think. 5 paisa.

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-2010-11-Capital-City-London-Belfast-Edinburgh-Cardiff-1-Coin-Set-Circulated-/282035843945 No bids yet, not long to go, £5 + £2 postage.

    Dave, the Edinburgh coin is the most difficult to acquire I believe. As a set, you should be looking at no more than £6 + postage if you really can't wait for them to turn up in your change. If you like to play on Facebook, see if you can join the group "English coins for sale and wanted" and ask on there. You should be able to get them pretty quickly. Personally, I would rather wait until they turn up in my change. I got a Belfast one yesterday.

    These 'uns Nordle. You won't get them in that there Spain.

    I asked the question. Response: " HiNot entirely sure myself whether this is a made up set or an original issueSorry cant be more helpfulKind regards "
  15. mrbadexample
    And furthermore: " ONE OUNCE OF COPPER WORTH 2 PENCE " Scales broken?
  16. mrbadexample
    Well that's encouraging at least.
  17. mrbadexample
    It's just not good enough, is it Pete?
  18. mrbadexample
    Yes. And CGS (UIN 26554 - another "11 leaf" that's actually a 10).
  19. mrbadexample
    Just hypothetical Pete. There are a couple of lots that interest me but have no photos. I am therefore entirely reliant on the accuracy of LCA's description as I cannot make the trip to look at these. This makes me a little uncomfortable, especially as I've not successfully bought from them before. Do you find that they are usually reliable?
  20. mrbadexample
    Fingers crossed for you! Look forward to you posting a triumphant result.
  21. mrbadexample
    It gives me less confidence in bidding, especially given the number of lots without pictures. Presumably you can return items that have been incorrectly attributed, but what if you disagree with the grade?
  22. mrbadexample
    I know, and I'm only half your age.
  23. mrbadexample
    Because they're professionals so I expect them to get it right and not make basic errors.
  24. mrbadexample
    Pete I've never forgotten it since you emailed me the photos. But I tend to start doubting myself when I'm questioning what I'm seeing in an auction house listing.
  25. mrbadexample
    I can see the eleventh leaf quite clearly on the example you've posted Rob, but I don't know what you mean about the raised / incuse dots. Can't make 'em out at all. Edit: Yes I can now. So there are two types of 11 leaf, with the three dots raised / incuse?
