I'm just wondering what eBay is going to do about it as they (as usual to Stellers) were not very helpful

How have you communicated with eBay? I've always found that by phone is the easiest way to get my point across. Assertively, of course... :rolleyes:

It was by phone Clive, strange things have been Happening though, cash is back in the PP account, account holders name has changed yet i can still see this Kelly T on the PP item details. But Hold the fort, i thought things were all rosey, but nope. Bought a lot in auction 2 weeks ago, in total 73 proof coins, 63 of them were piedfort 50ps, a Rather small packet arrives today (bear in mind these were all in the original cases) and 57 of them were not there :( how the hell is that possible?

So have you got the money back from the half-sov, David?

It should be easy to get a refund for the proofs & piedforts, as Peckris says. A claim with eBay or PayPal should sort that.

There's an area of Bournemouth called Boscombe which boasts around 10 "antique" shops, although the majority are selling high end tat. I visit one regularly because he knows nothing about medals and i

The silvers were from an auction house and not ebay but what i can't understand is how they're missed packing such a significant quantity of coins. And yes the money was in my PP account earlier when i checked. Its a really weird one that, still dunno whats going on with it, but just beware of this buyer kellyt1992 or anyone who asks you to ship same day, i normally post next Day after payment, but did'nt even think they would'nt be genuine.

Police were informed and has spoken to my buddy last night, but i think the Hacker and the buyer are one and the same.

Also been onto the auction House about the silvers and they seem to think its been a misprint of the number 63 and should have read 6, but who in their right mind is going to buy 16 silver proofs for £350 hammer :-/

I see Platt is at his shill bidding best.....Sold on the 29th for 745 Quid

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360724179440?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D360724179440%26_rdc%3D1

Relisted here, and you'll see why he's shilled it from the snippet of his text pasted below

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360733248145?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D360733248145%26_rdc%3D1

I'm sure we'll all agree about his grade of NEF, he's obviously trying for the 4 figure bids judging by his text

An opportunity to acquire a superb example of the extremely rare

1827 GEORGE IV COPPER PENNY in near EF condition.

The 1827 penny is a virtually impossible date to locate in anything better than VF condition with Spink’s 2013 catalogue
suggesting a price of £875 in VF and £3,500 in EF.

So we can take it as read that the first winning bidder is likely to be a shiller for him

Not to mention spelling and punctuation :D

But it's in a slab - it MUST be all right!

Come on guys cut him some slack. That's a mega rare copper edition, the bronze ones are ten a penny.

It's been changed Peck, it did mention WWII

Oh right - the seller may have got themselves a history lesson in the meantime then!

It comes to something when describing a coin as a forgery is dishonest! but I do know what you mean :)

I suppose it comes to something when a forgery can sell for a couple of hundred, and a boring old repro sells for about £10.

I wonder whether anybody knew how rare a 1933 penny was in 1934??

I suspect there were very few collectors of the current base metal coins prior to Peck, and absolutely no incentive to fabricate a 1933 back in 1934

Does anyone know when the first altererd dates surfaced?

My problem is that it's a modern repro which you can buy for £14.99 that has been put in an old envelope rapped in a peice of news paper dated 1934. That is just designed to deceive.

Hopefully no-one will be. Especially when they look at the feedback score.

Just to put this one to bed and to positively ID the fact this was a shill bid, there was a FB left for Platt in August from barrybestcoins, so we can safely say that this is another ebayer involved with MP

top class buyer A+++ highly recommended 10/10 thanks for BACS payment Seller:

23-Aug-13 18:37

Platt has changed his id from *classic*british*coins* to now bitish-coins-uk where you can see the FB left

Just to add, another of his shill bidders is currently winning the 1827 Penny...............sonofcork with a 401 FB (yes Martin, i can see you private listing) ;)

Woah! I just thought! I have all these 1967 pennies. Now if only there was a way to alter them to read 1962 I could make a fortune!

oh, wait .....

Surrey coins and Country Cottage interiors are a definate, Country Cottage is his wife and surrey was his main shiller when his id was *classic*british*coins* just need to keep one eye on barrybest now as he's now in the mix for bidding previously on the 1827 and winning

This is another that sold a few days back that he's relisted 360733235133

Here is the original

If you look down sonofcorks FB, you 'll find Country Cottage interiors, Surrey Coins (richparfishing), and dear old Roy Dinsdale.

I wonder if they're all in the same lodge? :ph34r:

Ironically. sonofcork bought one of those fake 1864 florins from RD last year.
