Ha!  Why can't individuals get in on the fun?  NGC and PCGS, you're on notice...there's a new kid on the block.  The slabs can be purchased on eBay and the label looks like it was done on a home printer...sad.  You know I enjoy TPG coins but even this makes me shake my head.

Relax, be happy. NNC slabs are the DIY encapsulated pieces done by 'Centisles' if I remember correctly. Every obstacle to potentially purchasing his ludicrously overgraded slabs should be welcomed with open arms.

You are right about  'Centisles'. He has been the topic of conversation on this Forum many times. Stay away...he is bad medicine!

Pareidolia is the phenemenon of seeing an image of something, from an otherwise completely random arrangement. For example seeing faces in clouds.

Here is an example of pareidolia in wood. You can see a dog's face, ears and front legs, which has been created unintentionally by the random arrangement of the grain. Incidentally, the Welsh for pareidoila is also pareidolia.

Some religious people think they've seen Jesus Christ !!!   

 

 

 

 

Now that you mention....we just had a new bathroom door fitted...

This guy needs to invest some of his money in a new camera. Surprised he sells anything judging by his images. His feedbacks a chuckle.

This is a very strange metal-detecting find - and they're in a folder as well!

[declan03]

1. ....Maybe he thought it was from the battle of Hastings when he dug it up. ??????

[Ukstu]

Everything he sells is a metal detecting find. He's still trying to flog that pencil drawing of Michael Owen which he dug up! ?

This sold for around the £800 mark during the week. Now he has it relisted. Is it kosher?

Ill put my head on the chopping block here and  say its a jeckle . My reason is like all jeckles nowhere on that coin is there any deviation in wear. it is uniform ro the point of being identical on every part. Wear just isn't like that. Could be a trick of the light and being photographed through perspex but I certainly wouldn't touch it without provenance

The one on the right looks ok to me. The other one, not so much. 

[declan03]

Cannot believe the blighter has had bids up to £78 already for it with 6 days to go.

spelling error

I would say the one on the right too. I find the easiest way of distinguishing them is to make sure the nape of the neck is pointing to the centre of the P. And off course asking the seller if it weighs 8 grams.

Strange the guy that is selling the other fakes the coin on the right doesn't show an obverse on his sale. Yeah I think I know for what reason . I reported the first guy for fraudulent  listing practices. Although the correct terminology for what you want to report isn't in the sub menu's. I wonder why? Ebay know there are fakes why isn't this in the report boxes.?Like "Do you believe an item to be suspicious or a fake". Not the one I had to choose "Seller is selling somebody else's goods" . No option to choose anything else. Incidentally  this has really annoyed me this guy has sold 751 fake kews @ £119.Read what he guarantees about his coins it is laughable . Never a front picture of the queen and all stock pics are lifted from other websites

Report item >> Prohibited and restricted items >> Stamps, currency and coins >> Replica coins, replica paper money, and replica stamps
