Coppers Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 I've always thought that those of us on the other side of the pond have a better eye for quality -- and here's the proof -- a lovely 1853 rainbow toned farthing...Rainbow Farthing Quote
Geordie582 Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 I wonder which chemicals they used? Quote
Red Riley Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 I wonder which chemicals they used?If I recall correctly, you stick it on the gas ring... Quote
Rob Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 I wonder which chemicals they used?If I recall correctly, you stick it on the gas ring...Correct in the case of the blue, and the red comes from Brasso or similar. Quote
Peter Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Don't get knocked over in the rush for this one...what a bargain.The postage is 5x more than the coin is worth http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RARE-1919KN-Penny-Co...id=p3286.c0.m14 Quote
Peter Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 All the George V1 farthings looked previously polished...with this one in question recently buffed up.Unless a clear close up photo is available (or a contact nr for the coin dealer) I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. Quote

Red Riley Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 At least they're being honest, but what imbecile would buy this cr*p? Quote

Rob Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Only a couple thousand dollars over the top, therefore quite reasonable by ebay standards. 1806 penny Quote
Red Riley Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Only a couple thousand dollars over the top, therefore quite reasonable by ebay standards. 1806 pennyBut the thing that makes me really mad is the 'Numismatic Guaranty Corporation' describing it as 1P. Quote
HistoricCoinage Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Most interesting description for a coin: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...alenotsupportedGreat pic of it too, think we could all learn a lesson or two about coin photography... Quote

When I hit that link I get somebody selling a pair of trousers! Quote
Rob Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Oh, I see. That's the point. It's not only the mismatch between title and picture. The title is a coin, the picture is of a Levi's label but the description is for a pair of Nike tracksuit bottoms. Quote
The Dark Numismatist Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Oh, I see. That's the point. It's not only the mismatch between title and picture. The title is a coin, the picture is of a Levi's label but the description is for a pair of Nike tracksuit bottoms. It's quite clearly a mule. The winner will probably receive a donkey jacket. Quote
HistoricCoinage Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) Does the seller of the coin live in a sanatorium? Edited January 15, 2009 by HistoricCoinage Quote
Peter Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Do they actually get any worse than this example http://coins.search.ebay.co.uk/1679_Britis...sofocusZunknown Quote
