<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 588374, member: 12965&quot;]Anyone that is following this thread should know that I&#039;ve turned it into a Copper thread, dealing with all early coppers, since I periodically run across other coppers with problems in their description. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> This next entry is something I haven&#039;t hit on yet but it&#039;s about time I did.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D160335171599" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D160335171599" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=160335171599</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What many don&#039;t realize is that out of all the Machin&#039;s Mills coppers on Ebay, about 1 out of 100 are actually Machin&#039;s Mills coppers and the rest are either British Regals or Regal counterfeits and not Machin&#039;s Mills coppers. That one is no different but when I messaged the seller to inform them of that, here&#039;s their reply:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i><b>&quot;Please pull your uneducated head out of your a**.&quot;</b></i></p><p><br /></p><p>So I replied:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i><b>Since I am uneducated, please inform this uneducated person as to what variety of Machin&#039;s Mills this is?</b></i></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here&#039;s the seller&#039;s reply:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b><i>&quot;BLOW ME...&quot;</i></b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Needless to say, the seller claims it&#039;s a 1775 and there&#039;s only one Machin&#039;s Mills with that date and it&#039;s a 4-75A:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://coinfacts.com/colonial_coins/machins_mills/1775_vlack_04_75A.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coinfacts.com/colonial_coins/machins_mills/1775_vlack_04_75A.htm" rel="nofollow">http://coinfacts.com/colonial_coins/machins_mills/1775_vlack_04_75A.htm</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It isn&#039;t that one so it isn&#039;t a Machin&#039;s Mills! :goof:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So when you run across one of the many coppers that are listed as a Machin&#039;s Mills, beware! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ps: I sent it to a few friends and all agree, it is not a Machin&#039;s Mills copper. :whistle:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Pps: Here&#039;s one that is a Machin&#039;s Mills:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&amp;item=370200629162" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&amp;item=370200629162" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&amp;item=370200629162</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
