Rob Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 You can't stop the flow of copies, so just be grateful that it sticks out like a sore thumb as wrong. When they copy a genuine 1st issue 1823 hafcrown, that will be time to worry. Quote
jelida Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 I think in a ridiculously overembellished way they are trying to sell the coin shown in the body of the ad, which looks OK, rather than the ghastly replica illustrated. Why all the c**p about the secure storage? And every genuine coin is apparently 'microscopically laser marked' for heavens sake, anybody ever hear of that? Jerry Quote

Nonmortuus Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 I liked toned silver but would rather it was acquired over time rather than artificially done: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/How-to-add-extra-value-to-your-collectors-coins-Give-them-rainbow-toning-/161962306255?hash=item25b5b4aacf:g:OsUAAOSwnLdWqyzm Quote
Nordle11 Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Agreed. Can anyone give credence to the part about the 'sulfite paper' causing the cabinet toning effect? Sounds quite interesting, but I don't know much about natural toning or whether what he's saying is has any validity. Quote
Nonmortuus Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 There is some discussion around this type of thing here as well http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=251604&whichpage=1 1 Quote
Nordle11 Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Thanks Nons, that answered my questions 1 Quote
PWA 1967 Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 They look absolutely terrible and cant understand why someone would artificially tone a coin to look like that. Everyone to there own but all those ............ Quote
HistoricCoinage Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 I really love these milled issues. They look so good in hand that they almost look fake... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Extremely-fine-1st-milled-issue-1562-sixpence-Elizabeth-1st-coin-/141890217073?hash=item210950e471:g:4NYAAOSwvUlWq1cp Quote
Coinery Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 hardly a week goes by! Great feedback too! What amazes me most about this regularly appearing 3d is the consistency with which it gets called a sixpence. Perhaps it says sixpence on the original Alibaba packaging? 1 Quote

mrbadexample Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 I'd need to know if they were contemporary or a later addition. Makes this nice grade coin look not so bad after all. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1918KN-GEORGE-V-BRITISH-PENNY-COIN-NICE-GRADE-SCARCE-/161953571211?hash=item25b52f618b:g:8UIAAOxyZzlTdUmX Quote

I'd take one look at that auction and automatically disregard every other item the seller has. Even if it is some kind of Polish pharmaceutical product. Quote
