I was starting to think I know what to look for but now after seeing this I'm not quite sure I do :scratch_one-s_head:

Well well! Bold as brass.
Pictures a standard coin and puts a link to a site the very clearly explains how to identify. Then, when someone sends a message to say not a wavy allows it to be seen on the listing.
If anyone buys that they have only themself to blame for being ripped off. I "asked a question" to confirm the previous opinion that had been given. I suggest you all do the same.
I have also reported it to eBay (for what good it may do).

I prefer this one AUSTRALIAN 1966 20c LONDON DIE (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/AUSTRALIAN-1966-20c-LONDON-DIE/151090532871?rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D261%26meid%3D244887564412684615%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D1088%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D2%26sd%3D141025766073%26)

I wonder whose images he ripped off? One thing's certain, and that's to avoid him like the plague.

I paid $1100.00 several years ago for my Uncirculated one.   Me thinks I did well after seeing the final selling price of the one above.

I know of a forum member who may still have a couple of these to sell.   Just post your requirement.

and that annoys me too no end when some turd gets something worth $2 on their card and wonder why I have a go :diablo: and you'd be surprised at how many say "I hear ya" when they ask how are you and I say loud enough for everyone to hear "well I'd be better if people would use cash again insead of slowing everything up with all these useless cards" :) and also I like to do what I want to do and there's no need for anyone else to know what I'm doing, but offer something for free and they get eveything they want from you..where, what and when you've bought something and it's all getting a bit much..might have to move in with trout to get away from it all  :friends:

You read my mind.

I wave the flybuys card over the scanner early in the transaction. And if the guy in front of me didn't have one, I ask if I can use it for his stuff too. They always say yes.

Then at the end its just stick the card in the slot and push one button. Much, much, MUCH faster than cash.

Oh, and the points pile up fast enough that every so often all my goodies are free. So what exactly have you got against free money, AJ?
Title: RE: um yeah ok
Post by: ausjack on August 05, 2013, 05:15:02 PM
one day you'll learn what I have against it..you think your getting something for free but that's what they want you to think..I'm not just a pretty face :laugh2: it's all part of the 75 cents idea where they ALL want 75 cents from EVERYONE'S dollar..so where does that leave their opposition and the government as they all want their 75 cents but my dollar doesn't go that far :)

Just the ADF and see what they tell you, BS baffles brains :good:
Title: RE: um yeah ok
Post by: Fulvio on August 05, 2013, 05:38:33 PM
AJ, I come from an IT background. And I had friends working on their systems as well. I know EXACTLY what data they gather, and how they use it. And I have absolutely no problem with that.

There are FAR scarier systems around that you'll never hear about.

Yeah - I paid $1500 for my uncirculated one also many years ago Goldy.

I got it graded at MS64+ and the grade was spot on for what Klaus said it would be.  Yes - I am a happy camper - would be painful to the hip pocket if I could even find one like that ever again.

I wonder what the MS66 would go for?
Title: RE: um yeah ok
Post by: ausjack on August 06, 2013, 07:19:43 AM
that's the funny thing about sales and especially auctions, cars, coins and houses etc. It depends on the day and who and how many want said item the most. Yes I'd like to see a MS66 and what it goes for..and dream :)
