An Dodgy Error "Manufacturer" Is Back

This guy seems to re-surface every few months. He's a known manufacturer of so-called errors. Just hammering coins together. I suspect he/she made the "errors" that sold through IAG once and then more of the same type were then pulled from the next auction. Because he/she was very active on eBay at exactly the same time.

Beware. I see he/she has seeded in some real errors among the poop ones this time.

Geez Louise ...... quite a number of those look like just Misaligned Dies rather than Partial Collars (the 5c looks ok). No pics from side on though, bugga.

$75 for a MAD (I'd be a rich man in that case)...... (they'll probably sell too).

Thanks for pointing this seller out Mark & Accumulator.

Set the trap with the real errors,trying to snare some poor newbie i'd say.

Most likely. What a turd.

He's getting more inventive using GB Pennies to manufacture fake errors. The thing is, there will probably be someone naive enough to fall for them. :dodgy:

I'm inclined to think that is one of the real one's. Dunno about the $500 price tag though.

AW Crap :dash1:
I have reported this DH many times and the wankers on ebay still let him/her trade :dash1:
Must be one of Peter Wallace's protégés :ok:

I reckon it's as dodgy as a $3 note. :whistle2:

I check up on my mate go234coins every now and again. As of today 13 of his last 17 feedbacks are negative yet Ebay still allows him to continue :shok::shok:
