It is unbelievable how many buyers do not read the text The picture shows a Krugerrand like coin with 1/2 g So in their mind they think they are bidding on half an ounce 15.55 grams whereas in reality they are bidding on half a gram which is around 8 euro of gold If it is truely from Liberia it will be gold If it comes from one of those that make the smallest coins of the world somewhere in Europe it can go from a gold plating to 500/1000 gold making it worth all of 4 euro A few weeks ago somebody was offering a coin or medal advertised in grains which is a weightmeasurement nearly no European will understand I can not even be bothered to calculate because my shipping cost runs typically between 7.5 and 25 euro from Germany depending on how greedy the vendor is and whether he really insist only DHL can ship a coin and the fully insured and registered and signed for delivery from the German post is not acceptable to him  |

Now this is an intresting deceiver It is called the 2001 prestige set But if you are very observant you will see a certificate is placed over the empty hole of the one ounce coin and you will read that the one ounce coin is not mentioned in the inventory below This deception from a 100 % feedbacker is disgusting and was found by a german pal of mine After they swindled me with a silver sized holder by putting a certificate over the hole in the holder I am getting very sensitive as to where people put their certificates  http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...35&rd=1&rd=1 |

Yes I know that only true americans would understand about the .........flying ............ Of course it is physically impossible We had no donuts in Belgium untill about the 1985's so I never tried when I was young The French and Belgians are a lot more realistic in their expressions That means that all their wishes are really possible but somewhat unpleasant But who knows what babelfish or any other translating program would make of that if I were allowed to post it in the original language  I speak 4 languages fluent and a fifth more basic and it is amazing all the people I met in a foreign language wanted to exchange swear words first  |

The first and the third definitely have a feel of electroplating or sandcasting ( lost wax system ) I would not buy any of these without expert authentication I once asked help on an old Italian coin and it was very quickly confirmed it was a fake ( as I suspected ) If you are intrested in buying any of these you can ask help from the specialists ( one of which is a member of this forum but I forgot which one ) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CoinF...cussionList/ |
