Coinery Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Another replica Elizabeth... Already £5 more than it should be at £5.19! Tch! Quote
Coinery Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 non-genuine ? Sorry if it's a stupid question; it's a warm Friday arv here and I've been drinking Sorry, Garrett, missed your post! As HC said, a genuine 6d coin, but so heavily clipped as to be worthless, and now around the size of a 3d...hence the 3d reference! 1 Quote
Peckris Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 That's a neat trick - click the picture and an identical size picture opens in the usual window Mind you, that's no different from the bleedin' Photofucket site, where the picture that loads is exactly the same size as the thumbnail you clicked on to take you there. So you click on the magnifying glass to zoom it (moaning all the while at why all these unnecessary steps compared to staying in predecimal). Then after you click the magnifying glass on the picture, a SAME SIZE picture opens in Photofucket's separate window. So you've gone through all that hassle to see 3 pictures, all exactly the same size. Quote
Coinery Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 StuartIt is a pewter copy. I think garret was referring to the link Paulus put up for me of a clipped 6d (no legend left whatsoever)? 1 Quote
HistoricCoinage Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 I did rather fancy this E1 ?Threepence? 390869594692 linkYep, Peter, think Garrett's referring to this ^ Quote
Garrett Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Yes thanks Clive/Stuart. Was referring to the 'threepence'.Thanks for answering !Not the coin I'd buy but would be thrilled to bits to pull it out of the ground !cheersGarrett. Quote
Peter Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 I stand corrected.....well seated watching match of the day. .....It could of been bloody Greece. Quote
Paulus Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) I don't mean anything by this, apart from astonishment at the price it is selling for, but at the end of the day, this is no longer a G3 Crown coin, rather a nicely engraved silver disc (with all due deference to Debbie!). Surely this sort of thing is open to modern reproduction? link Edited July 1, 2014 by Paulus Quote

Surely this sort of thing is open to modern reproduction? linkI would'nt say 1841 was modern Paul but these love tokens are on the up, especially those with a story and researched. I think either the last DNW or Lockdales auction had several in, all sold for decent prices. There is collectors for these, just ask Debbie how much they've increased since she started collecting these. Quote
Peckris Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) Personally, I think the piece would have been more desirable with even a faint trace of the underlying design still visible. As it is, as Paulus says, it's just an engraved silver disc. How do they know it's GIII anyway?? (ETA: ah, the edge collar inscription is still there?) Edited July 2, 2014 by Peckris Quote
Debbie Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Yes I agree, the prices have been on the up..... even so that crown is rather more than I would expect! I would question the engraving - the engraving looks a little too stylised and unlikely to be contemporary IMO. The coin seems to be a crown Peck as there is a photo of the reverse. There are some love tokens that have been engraved on non genuine coins. Quote
Debbie Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Edit - Opps wrong reverse - I see what you mean Peck. Quote
Debbie Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Just for the record, I always prefer engraved coins that show the original coin too, with the exception of 18th Cent coppers which are usually smoothed both sides. 1 Quote
Nordle11 Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) Just for the record, I always prefer engraved coins that show the original coin too, with the exception of 18th Cent coppers which are usually smoothed both sides.Here's one I got not long ago, has a lovely mix of the engraving and the original design..Possibly a Queen Victoria memento? The top date is 1837 backwards (for some reason) Edited July 3, 2014 by Nordle11 1 Quote
Chris Perkins Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 This surprises me. I've got some electrotype/counterfeit coins on ebay at the moment (after giving SEUK first refusal) and my electrotype Scottish 1582 40s in copper has gone a bit high (£235 just now, with about 6 hours to go). I've noted that I've incorrectly called it a 60s, but can't change it!here:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271533065323I know that older electrotypes are collectable and I know what I paid for it about 10 years ago. £235 is more than I thought it would get to!It's not one of you lot bidding to win and neg me for selling a fake coin is it?!
