Finding a second example with identical features would be useful. Quote

Ukstu Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 If he manages to get them all looking different colours he might just succeed in fooling a lot of people. That gun metal blues his trademark. Doesn't look like trading standards have moved on him.....Yet! Hopefully building a case. Quote

Rob Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 Grandmother was clearly a realistic, grounded person. Recognising that they were worth peanuts and that nobody in their right mind would buy them, I consider her very astute in giving advice that they should effectively be sold only when all other fund-raising options had failed. Last throw of the dice, so to speak. 1 1 Quote

Coinery Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) This made me smile...a rather expensive (£150) ‘error’ penny. The error? Double struck! 232915135352 Edited September 16, 2018 by Coinery Quote
Coinery Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) And for just under £500 you can buy a ‘3/16’ quarter noble and also a James Bond bank note, ending 007, for £200. Edited September 16, 2018 by Coinery Quote
Peter Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 Some little schite hacked my paypal account at the beginning of this year and helped themselves to a camera £224.99.They also tried other transactions by this time cards and passwords were changed. I have/had the address where the camera was sent...a trip to London and smashing their windows doesn't entertain me. I cannot contact paypal due to their robots GRR. I need to speak to a person. Any ideas Gents/Ladies Quote
Peter Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 I haven't got stressed but £225 would buy me a nice little coin....calmed down now. Quote

ozjohn Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) Interesting fake. If it is genuine it is a poorly minted example with the LH edge of the reverse missing. It's a bit hard to see if there is a mint mark. A 1917RM sovereign commands a high price which makes this coin a target for forgers. Edited September 17, 2018 by ozjohn Extra Info Quote
