markflorida Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 Todays eBay fake comes from a seller who should know better. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNITED-STATES1909-SVDB-LINCOLN-1C-PCGS-MS63BN-SCARCE-FIRST-YEAR-ISSUE-99p/401554102770?hash=item5d7e7d59f2:g:OG4AAOSwEtNbJ2eh The coin is clearly a Red or Red Brown at worst yet its graded Brown. The leaves on the reverse are worn smooth, even an AU50 would have better leaf details. The label is crooked. This exact same cert number came up on eBay.com 18 months ago, someone is using the same cert number because PCGS does not have the original picture listed. Quote

Rob Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 Maybe eBay pay more attention to people reporting dodgy listings in the US than from elsewhere. It's a far more litigious society. 1 Quote

I'm not sure what you mean by "only FDC" as it's the highest possible grade? (French "fleur de coin") 1 Quote
zookeeperz Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 Not exactly. It is in the french wording but not as we interpret it. FDC would be 100 in our grade but we generally take FDC meaning MS65 or 88. As our coin grading house up until i last looked said there is no such thing as a 100 grade coin and hadn't graded one 100. I think I remember seeing a 99 but I think it was a commemorative . That's what I meant by only FDC MS65 as thats the grade on the coin if it was MS70 a True FDC then the price would prob be more Quote

Paddy Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 This one looks very wrong to me: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Very-Rare-Oliver-Cromwell-Silver-Sixpence-Coin-C1658/263765617603?hash=item3d69a7ebc3:g:sJMAAOSw92RbKAWg Quote

It looks cast to me. Good filler if you can't afford or even find an original. That said, it still is a high price for a poor copy. There are but 4 genuine examples known (Henfrey double counted) , two in private hands and the other two in the Hunterian and British musea. One of those in private hands was sold in 85, (if memory serves me correctly) at the Harrington Manville sale for the sum of £10,000 (£30,000 today). The other privately owned example surfaced more recently in 2017 and was sold by Stacks. Interestingly, the location of the latter was generally unknown for some 140 years having been sold by a dealer to “a gentleman in America”, an unknown collector, in 1877. That particular example is also interesting and distinctive by the fact that there are traces of gilt present and this is also noted in several old sale catalogues prior to its sale to the American gentleman. I find the Simon sixpence to be an interesting subject, it's absolute rarity - why?, poor condition of all known examples - why?, etc. I half suspect that there is a box hidden or buried somewhere that is full of the beggars and we shall all be able to buy one for a more affordable price. 1 Quote

Maybe there is something about this "2nd bust" he quotes because it looks like it should be about 50p not 50 quid. Am I missing something? Edited June 22, 2018 by DrP Quote
