No reply, but it looks as though the weight of criticism has come to bear and he has pulled the coin. Jerry This tactic works I think, sometimes anyway - force of opinion of numbers maybe. After I received the seller's last message yesterday and after my previous post I sent him a link to this discussion just to give him the message that people were talking about him/her. Frank Quote
1949threepence Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 I think the worn penny with the "WW1 bullet" through it, may have been mentioned before. Any rate I came across it while browsing George V pennies, and messaged the seller, and received the reply shown below. link to item Yes mate, it is what it is, and that bullet certainly didn't get there on the field of battle. New message from: daniejorda60 (30) Im know ww1 expert i just sometging i brought to sell on im not lying in my description it is what it is. But i appreciate you taking your time out to message me rhis this information appreciate it bud. If you can tell me anything else that would be great!! Best wishes Dan Jordan Reply Make an offer Your previous message It may be a WW1 bullet, but it certainly wasn't put there in WW1. That coin has about 50 odd years of wear on it. 1 Quote
Fubar Posted November 28, 2018 Posted November 28, 2018 Can't see any sign of rifling on the bullet either. Quote

Sword Posted November 28, 2018 Posted November 28, 2018 Noted the shiny copper at the edge of the hole on the obverse side. And he wasn't being totally honest as he is making the claim that it is a 1914 bullet tip. How could he date the bullet to a specific year, particularly as he is "know" ww1 expert? Quote

[Adopts tone of voice of the railway bore you dread sitting next to you...] Ah well you see, it's quite easy to tell. I can see from the riffle squod mark that the bullet was made in the North Croydon Works of the Machine Arms Co and they only made them with that particular riffle squod up to 17th August 1914 and the entire consignment apart from one case was used before November 1914 in the Belgian trenches on the Western Front - the one case was used in 1915 but only at Gallipoli so if I was a betting man I'd feel my money was safe in saying that is a 1914 bullet. As I was saying to my friend Roger only last Tuesday - and there's no-one knows more than Roger about riffle... [cont p.94] 4 Quote

Ukstu Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 Likewise again. I may not always post daily but i visit regularly, been watching this one. Definitely a scoundrel. Has anyone got any leverage with CCF? Might be worth posting it up on there as they have an excellent track record of getting these pulled. Quote
bagerap Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 I can't find the CCF reporting counterfeit heading anymore. I'll message the owner Bobby and see what's happening. Quote

bagerap Posted December 1, 2018 Posted December 1, 2018 The CCF boards for reporting fakes have been made private. I'll be a member by close of business today. You can apply to CCF boss bobby for entry. 1 1 Quote

I can't remember which sale, but a 1960 1/2d went for $80(?) or some similarly ludicrous sum on the back of a 65 label. But then there is only one of them known...............not Quote
