Graylord Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 I particularly like this one...Charles shilling WoooEEE!And I quote..Please note that any scans/photos on this listing are of the actual item for sale, not a library photo.Next is an E, next is an E...... Am I missing something here? I can find no fault with that listing. I have seen a Charles II half crown dug that was hardly recogniseable, almost diamond shape with rounded edges, but judged to be genuine. Many hammered coins leave the ground completely unrecognisable.Another ebay virgin, virgin on the ridiculous that is. ebayThat really is a dodo. It could be anything in that picture, even plastic.I have been tucked up on eBay a couple of times, once on a motor caravan a punter in Oxford agreed to "buy it now" for £2000 and had no intention of buying. Said it was a mistake, but you have to click two buttons, very hard to do by mistake. A mobile phone I listed was for UK buyers only and again "buy it now" was pressed by a goon in India and ebay allowed it through. The listing is then completed and you lose your listing fee. Quote

He probably read the thread on this forum and replaced them with good pictures. Quote
TomGoodheart Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 I particularly like this one... Am I missing something here? I can find no fault with that listing. That's because he has rescanned and updated his photos, the originals were a bit like this...... Quote
Rob Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 Granny's CollectionLow start due to the digs on the 1951 1/2d obverse? Quote
Graylord Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 This brings back memories, my first stater was a uniface, not as nice as this though.Ebay.co.uk Quote
Peter Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1907-British-Penny-c...1QQcmdZViewItem1907 is a very RARE age. Quote
Rob Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1907-British-Penny-c...1QQcmdZViewItem1907 is a very RARE age.And the description is a very rare form of English. Quote
TomGoodheart Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 (edited) Well yes, if a coin like that were 1907 years old it would be very rare indeed, especially in that condition!! Edited July 2, 2006 by TomGoodheart Quote
Guest Guest Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 Looks like the Type B 7 close to 0. I still have that gap in my collection. Pity the picture wasn't a bit clearer. Could be quite valuable. Quote
Rob Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 (edited) Another quality example of grading. 1843 penny It would somewhat more useful to quote firstly the correct value in Spink which is £1100 for the no colon variety instead of the with colon price and secondly the VF price of the coin £250 in Spink (or £125 if you can't identify it properly) given that the obverse struggles to this grade so the better reverse cannot compensate to any large extent - or might that bring on a dose of reality?
