Paulus Posted August 6, 2012 Posted August 6, 2012 I'd grade that NEF pies.Indeed, or even BU, as in Blinking Unforgivable that an eBay dealer should stoop so low ...As in Nearly Entirely F*cked. Sad. Quote
Paulus Posted August 6, 2012 Posted August 6, 2012 Just sent an indignant 'question', shouldn't waste my energy really! Quote
TomGoodheart Posted August 6, 2012 Posted August 6, 2012 Perhaps by 'uncirculated' he means the scratches go straight across rather than around in circles? Quote
azda Posted August 6, 2012 Posted August 6, 2012 Some people are blatantly stupid when they buy from that muppet. He consistantly overgrades even when the coin is f****d. Him and Mr Platt are old buddies. UNC my arse. Quote
declanwmagee Posted August 6, 2012 Posted August 6, 2012 previously known as Richparfishing, if anyone remembers him. Never understood why people change their names on ebay. I've always used the same one, I buy on it and sell on it, and guess what, it's my real name!Nothing to hide. Quote
Peckris Posted August 6, 2012 Posted August 6, 2012 Perhaps by 'uncirculated' he means the scratches go straight across rather than around in circles? Yes, the reverse has been well and truly Brillo'd. Not even EF in my book. Quote

Rob Posted August 6, 2012 Posted August 6, 2012 Clearly his knowledge of history is as good as his grading. First 1901 Edward VII coin I've seen Given the predominance of shite offered, does he buy it or produce it? You have to suspect the latter. Take a grotty, dull, worn and otherwise unattractive coin. Brillo it and make a grotty, shiny, worn and otherwise unattractive coin. If people could be held accountable for their claims, he'd be in serious trouble. There must be a lot of very unhappy sellers somewhere down the line. Quote

Coinery Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 Ahh, yes, I remember it now, a bit of a long debate about the reverse if I remember correctly?I'd say that is the prettiest 'modern' silver coin I've seen in a very long time, beautiful! Quote

azda Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 Your sixpence is still a nice coin Paul, it would take a true stunner to Kick that out of your collection, in fact, i would'nt even bother looking for a replacement for it. Quote
