This one is unusual to say the least ....

I've copied this into a document so I can read it later.
I was hoping to put my 'Shut up and take my money' picture in here too but it didn't work.

It was kind of funny and weird the description they had.

Certainly a typical username type used by fraudsters we all know of

Mmm interesting. Yeah there's a lot in a name as I didn't think when doing my ebay as it was the first site I was on so as I was new and in cyber space I decided on cyberjack but believe it or not there were a few others so I had to add an 8 on the end as that's when I first got on the puter as well but now I think I might change it to ausjack as cyberjack doesn't sound real good..yep I got cyberjacked :blink:
Lol ...... it's baaaaaaaack ........ (obviously due to popular demand NOT).
At least this time he's not putting other peoples names in the description!

Just read the advert fully, wonder what is on the CD he sells ? :-)
Very tempting to buy one and see what it is ...
I contacted the seller as he has images of 1920 pennies (my weak spot). Got a friendly reply back. His name is Sam.
So does anyone know a collector from Cessnock named Sam?

Hi nealeffendi, I thought of you when I saw those 1920 pennies.
In any case, these 4 coins are all from the Borg collection.
The 1920 No dot he suspects of being manipulated, checks out based on the notes I have on 1920 pennies. The rim beads on the obverse of the dot above bottom he's pictured are very light, where as the 1920 No Dot has clearly defined beads. It can't be a dot below because they have CBL, and the no dot in the picture has FBL.
Let me know if I'm wrong, I'll remove my post.

Hi Rob,don't remove your post as you are mostly right. Dot belows can be CBL and FBL. The ex Borg No Dot is a genuine No Dot based on the reverse circular die crack (I recognise Dots/ No Dots by knowing the markers for every die). There are over 20 FBL Dot Below dies.
The Dot Above coin is an early strike from a particularly long lasting die that struck over a third of all Dot Above coins.
