darge Valued Member Australia 236 Posts	Posted 10/31/2013 6:09 pm Hello crew, long time no see. Hope all well, obviously no point asking if you've been good. This poor seller is in a quandary, he can't be sure if this 1946 penny is genuine because the planchet is thinner. I would have thought having "Copy" stamped on it would have caused a bit of doubt as well. The 1930 isn't causing him any doubt though, just mentions in passing that it is a London obverse. Of course every new hopeful knows that this makes its chance of being genuine about nil, so he didn't want to state the obvious. Surely no newbie could be mislead. Here is his lament : DESCRIPTION: BRAND NEW ALBUM.....WITH FULL SET OF PENNY'S....INC 1925, 1930, 1946.... HOWEVER....THE 1930..IS A LONDON DIE....THE 1925, 1946...ARE UNSURE, DUE TO...THE PLANCHETT IS THINNER....THAN NORMAL... Report this Post to the Staff

I've lost track of the number of times people have posted coins with a COPY stamp clearer than this one here on the forum, only to say "I never even saw that there before". It's a lot easier to see such stamps on blown-up pictures of a coin than it is to spot it on the actual coin. I will admit, though, that some of the seller's auctions are confusing. The "set of penny's" they're selling here, for example - exactly how many coins are there? Four? Five? A full "set" of sixty-odd? I'm also curious about the scissel he's selling - though he calls it "webbing". I can't recall seeing RAM scissel offered for sale before. And it can't be too modern, because the RAM stopped making its own blanks in 1987. As far as I know, the Koreans don't offer their scissel for sale. I suspect it might actually be non-RAM scissel and has nothing to do with coinage at all. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
darge Valued Member Australia 236 Posts	Posted 10/31/2013 9:07 pm Thanks for the linky Sap, wasn't sure if I could do that. The other listing of his is confusing but I think it is for 5 coins. That 1946 must be quite thick because he is sure it's 100% genuine. LOL I take your point about 'copy' being clearer in the photos than in the flesh, but I think to portray the seller as completely innocent could be a stretch. LOL I have actually bought from the guy and found him honest & reliable, not on this occasion though. imho Ha Ha At your diagnosis of the scissel he has listed. Have to agree although I have never even heard of it. Why would anyone want it? Enough to pay $29. I'm dumbfounded. Report this Post to the Staff
ErikP Valued Member Australia 69 Posts	Posted 11/01/2013 01:10 am Do you think the 30 & 25 coins both have a similar metal lustre? Swap over the dates and pick the difference? regards ErikP Report this Post to the Staff

sfitzernator Valued Member Australia 271 Posts	Posted 11/02/2013 08:19 am Maybe they were both struck from the same "planchet"? Report this Post to the Staff
