Coinery Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 What worries me his other coins for sale aren't purple I had to dig out my old pink floyd albums after looking at that! ;-) Quote
azda Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 Not a laugh, more "it pisses me off" seller states its AU as per Holder, but what he's obviously not stating that it's an AU American Grade which is in effect an EF british Grade, then states it's the finest, when if you read further, its actually JOINT finest 221005640115 but it's only joint finest graded by NGC obviously Quote

I guess we'll all be hand led and spoon fed once eBay collaborates with the grading companies. It'll be like listing a mobile phone soon, where you HAVE to check various boxes to even get it on...unless you want to list it as a fobile moan or something. :-) Quote

azda Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 My link When you say "My link", do you mean that's your coin you're selling?No 'My Link' was the default name given when I posted the post. To me that crown looks cast....maybeI absolutely agree. I didn't like to say so before, as I thought it might be your listing. It definitely looks dodgy and very much like a casting.So back to this one then. I emailed the seller and she said you 2 are talking utter pish lol. Her name is Louise BTW, very nice young lady, apparenlty been doing ebay for 9 years and knows her sheeeeet Quote

(It wont be me, mine is gF)It won't be mine either, but there is a good one (EF or better) in the forthcoming DNW auction (21 Jun 2012). It's the best one that I've seen. Estimated between £3k and £4k. Quote

(It wont be me, mine is gF)Here's mine, any good?If you're after a fake, that'll do nicely.If I was in the market for one of these (I'd love one, one day), I'd certainly do my research well in advance. But, if this is indeed a fake, I have to say that upon first impressions i wouldn't be able to spot it from the pictures alone, not without being pre-armed with any pre-purchase research, that is!
