Peckris Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Yeah, right!About what we expect from The Daily Mail. Quote
copper123 Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 i really have a good mind to get one of these free on saturday - just so i can laugh at it and how bad it looks Quote
Peckris Posted July 12, 2014 Author Posted July 12, 2014 Is the Daily Mail no more? No, that would feature an obverse of Andy Coulson (effigy phone-hacked by Rebekah Brooks ) and a reverse depicting a grave with an episode of Strictly Come Dancing being filmed right on top of it. Quote
copper123 Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 well i did get one - i must admit it is not really that awful , while the coin itself is actually a white metal (full marks for that!) the packing is super - just a shame a few details are wrong - no reeded edge to the coin but there again they have to be sure you can tell it from an original coin Quote

copper123 Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 I will prob give it to my nephew along with a genuine one he will like that Quote
Hello17 Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 I wonder if people are trying to sell them on Ebay :lol: 1 Quote
Peckris Posted July 13, 2014 Author Posted July 13, 2014 The lion on the crown etcClose to the original design, or a laughable approximation? Quote
copper123 Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 close to the original - and yes they are selling on ebay right now Quote
copper123 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 I wonder if the people buying the kings shilling (freebie from the mail) for £5 off ebay know that for less than half that you can get a silver coin that genuinely could have been a kings shilling .Really surprises me every time , why there are so many suckers out there?

Nick Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 There is one born every minute... and they all frequent eBay. Quote
