Nick Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 But he does say 1882 penny with H........... Sorry, looks like a bad case of reading what you want to see. That's because the description has now been edited. Before the revision it was claiming to be a rare no H variety. Quote
Paulus Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Thanks Nick, just a minor revision then! Quote
jelida Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Thanks Nick, I may be retired but I'm not senile (yet). When first posted, it was '1882 no H' , 'the coin every collector wants' etc, all in big capitals. Perhaps the vendor reads this forum.......Jerry Quote

These amended things crop up from time to time - a bit like the Ethelred 12th coin that looked distinctly like a Charles I shilling 2 or 3 years ago. Quote
DaveG38 Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 It's not just ebay that has its share of fraudsters. Here's a 1917 sovereign that's so rough I can't imagine that anybody willing to spend 3,999.99 Euros is going to be fooled by it. But you never know....http://www.muenzauktion.info/auction/item.php5?id=2591372&lines=75〈=en Quote
Rob Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 What do you mean? Looks just as if it was made yesterday. Quote

CartwheelTwopence Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/king-George-coin-festive-of-britian-1951-/111598571101?&_trksid=p2056016.m2518.l4276Anyone want a very cheap crown? He says its proof, would we agree? Strange that it would be sold in the green box of normal issue. Plus, I don't think they made any in actual silver? Correct me if I'm wrong.Also, I wonder why he won't accept paypal? Just a bank transfer? Surely if the item is of high value it would be better to use paypal as there is protection in case the receiver claims to have not received it? Not like it's going to sell anyway!!! Quote

Having a look at the coin, I just don't think its genuine. The portrait looks too much like the brass fakes. Opinions please. Quote
Nick Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Any eBay listing that even mentions a type of relative (especially grandad) should be given a wide berth. Quote

scott Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 and speaking of paypal, they have a limit of £1,800 a year transfer on free accounts Quote

What a load of old flannel that story is.What a crock of ole blarney! I reckon there's at least 2 a week of these going through!Refreshing change that he's actually 'correctly' called it a Threepence, and not a Sixpence, as is the norm!Shame it weighs nearly the same as a sixpence however.

Michael-Roo Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 I've contacted the seller and have told him its a modern repro cast in pewter.Let's see if the description changes. Quote
azda Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 I did the same this morning Michael so don't hold your breath Quote

I wonder what it will be listed as. Quote
