Am group of Ceylon (Sri Lanka) coins. [ATTACH][ATTACH]
Looks ok to me - if someone were faking it they would make a better condition copy all round. No point going to all the effort to put in a split...
Just a brief update: I am still waiting for the policeman in charge of the case to contact me. Typical of the vagaries of our police system, he...
A lot of European sellers use Delcampe.net - I tried for a while but the focus does seem to be on French speaking countries. There have been some...
... and if you hadn't blown a fuse on here, not one else would have known, and you would have saved your embarrassment. For my part, I hope you...
You bet! One of my early victories was a group of 3 coins badly photographed and not Identified in the description. One was an Edward VII Half...
Just because they are not in a slab does not mean they are "rolling around in some drawer"! I treat all my old coins with a great deal of respect...

Nice Brooch! I had the coin below many years ago and sold it on before I realised what it was. It is a Transportation Love token, created using a...
Try this one from the UK - the coin is actually worth £30 to £50:...
Does this count? I only got it today - it came in a bulk lot bought as a result of a local advert. [ATTACH]
No - I will sell it on. I have never got into error coins much - in my eyes they are just imperfect. Letter will go with it though, would be a...
Yes - we are long on pretty and peaceful down here. Let me know if you are down this way again and we can meet to look at coins!
Very nice coins! I look forward to seeing them in circulation over here soon. BTW the Train one is upside down...
Yes - I liked that touch! I guess if had not been the police that sent it in, they would have just done that.
I have just acquired this from a retired Police property man in the UK. I don't usually do error coins, but I thought it was interesting, and I...
