teecee Posted November 16, 2015 Author Posted November 16, 2015 Oh and forgot to say all coins in penny joblot came with sellotape dirctly over all coins leaving sticky residue/glue all over them. how nice! Quote
Paulus Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) You will get fully refunded including a prepaid return envelope if youa) send the seller a pic on the incorrect coins receivedBee) if he does not offer a refund, raise a case through eBayI have had to do this twice this year!

Error Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 If anyone can see a dot in that first image I need a Specsavers appt.But I've also returned more Ebay purchases than I've kept in the last year, often stupidly taking a gamble on poor quality images. I doubt I'll ever learn.....There's so much crap and too many morons selling on there. Most "errors" are post mint shed work but the sellers are convinced they are genuine.At least I've had no problem with refunds. Quote
jelida Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 The half farthing is the same coin in both pics; did the seller describe it as E over N? If he did, and its not, ask for your money back!Jerry 1 Quote
teecee Posted November 17, 2015 Author Posted November 17, 2015 The photo is crap yes but its there, the seller has admitted is sending me the correct one now. check the e in regina in top photo. check in bottom. diffrent coin. both chancers. Quote
teecee Posted November 17, 2015 Author Posted November 17, 2015 Still waiting on the half farthing getting sorted. heard nothing. Quote
bhx7 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I am with jelida on this one. The two half farthing photos are the same coin. All the marks are the same. Two small black marks at the bottom left of bust in a line to the "o" of Victoria. White dot at "G" / 3 o'clock. Crud on rim above "c" of Victoria. No question the same coin. Quote
teecee Posted November 17, 2015 Author Posted November 17, 2015 i think your right i need my eyes tested old eyes old bones. jeez a need a break 1 Quote
Nordle11 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 You did well to spot a dot flaw on that first pic! You normally need a very good look at the area between O and N to deduce it. Quote
