bagerap Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 I know that most folk on here have no interest in medals & tokens but even so, you should appreciate the huge cojones of this seller. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-British-Coin-/291428329597?As a rule, I sell one of these a fortnight. At around a fiver. Quote

Debbie Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Er, so is this the equivalent to an "engraved" 1850 shilling? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1796-Draped-Bust-Dime-Small-Eagle-Reverse-Engraved-on-Obverse-Z1235-/131483593853?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e9d086c7d 1 Quote

The listing title sounds like his hovercraft is full of eels. He appears to have latched onto some vaguely relevant words. Not sure where prince or silver come into it though.He also appears to have moved house in the past 6 months - to the back to back across the alley. Seems a bit strange to make such a short journey?

bagerap Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 And it has the marvelous invisible Victorian enamel.It is also quite touching that, now they are married; they are considering moving into a house together. Quote
Paulus Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) Rarely seen so many factual and grammatical errors in an eBay description! Apparently 1818 is nearly 300 years ago! Who'd have thought ... Edited April 17, 2015 by Paulus Quote
Coinery Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 It's bang on for weight, and he has almost 100% positive feedback too, how can you tell? I'd love a photo of the scales he used! Grandma's bathroom scales, no doubt! Quote
PWA 1967 Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 I dont think there are many countries he does not post to though. Quote

Rob Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Never seen one with the defective lettering on either the real thing or a copy. Anyone else noted this previously? Quote

VickySilver Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 That '34 is as rotten fake as they come. Metal quality and surfaces are awful. Quote
Paulus Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) Am I missing something here or is it just being shilled? TG?link Edited April 19, 2015 by Paulus Quote
Rob Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Looks like it. It is Saxby's, so don't hold your breath for a sensible outcome.I also note that he has changed his advertised address from Devon back to the Midlands. His address could be as accurate as his listings though. Quote
Paulus Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Wouldn't have wanted it, it's horrible, just immersing myself in what's going on with Charlie One Quote

Rob Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 That poor coin has been brushed to buggery!Yes funny how the valuable pieces tend to be treated more leniently. I've seen a lot better rejected for less. Quote
