declan03 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Cheers guys. The seller accepts returns so I will get in touch with him. Quite possible that he missed it too. Quote

rpeddie Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 id personally steer clear of that one what about these 2? 1 and 2 my thoughts are either a fake slab(think they have LCGS as the name these days on the slab)? or lcgs have stooped even lower and slabbed this post mint error as legitimate. the more i look, the slabs look legitimate and i cant believe this gets past their "experts" 1 Quote

rpeddie Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) I just want to double check that I'm not being ridiculous in saying that these should end up nowhere near a slab and being "guaranteed as authentic"? Edited February 17, 2018 by rpeddie Quote

Even the seller is calling the coins "possible" mint errors despite authentication by LCGS. Look at his other "possible" mint errors. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/gleskee0/m.html?item=152911895884&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 Not certain if LCGS still guarantee to repay full market values for the fakes they slab. If they do and the coins are proven fakes, the compensation could be just ... £1 each. 1 Quote
mrbadexample Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 Amazing how one person accumulates so many rare errors. He needs a bloody good slap to be honest. The fact that he's managed to get some slabbed is astonishing, and really doesn't look good for LCGS. Quote

Nevertheless, it is still not good enough in my view as he is calling it a "Silver" Coin Elizabeth 1st Sixpence 1562 AD in the title and left the price unchanged. Quote

Most non-coinies call anything cupro-nickel, silver. He might have been told it is a copy, but unless the informer told him it wasn't silver, he may be none the wiser. The chances are he didn't buy it originally. Edited February 20, 2018 by Rob Quote

I have sympathy with collectors being caught out by genuinely good copies but, in all honesty, if someone gets caught by these primitive pewter copies I personally feel they should be zipping up their bank accounts and finding out just a little bit about the basics first. If someone turned up at the stock exchange and chucked £50 on a wild card, knowing nothing about stocks and shares, we’d most definitely call him a fool! 4 Quote

I agree that no sensible collector can possibly be fooled. It's more likely to trap a non-coinie wanting to buy a present for someone. Quote

I’m just trying to suggest that if someone’s knowledge of E1’s milled issue is so poor that they’d be fooled by a primitive pewter copy like that, then the saying stands that a fool and his money... Now if someone bought ‘this’ Elizabeth milled counterfeit I’d have every sympathy, because it’s easily done! Edited February 23, 2018 by Coinery Quote

Clearly, he gets plenty of 'advice' about the validity of his items for sale and doesn't take kindly to his 'honesty' being questioned. 2 Quote
