you sure are on the ball AJ . this will be a ' do not buy' thread
another TPG in Canberra ?[/i]

That "old Brown trout" doesn't swim in my lake Mate :ok:

[robbiegal]

I highly doubt that he has set himself up as a TPG
He probably bought them off someone else and as is

A lot of collectors use that Sheldon grading system and label accordingly to their opinion but I know that this seller doesn't know how to use that or other grading systems , so i'd reckon that these are someone else's' set-up that he has acquired and is selling on

I could be wrong too  

anyone can buy those holders - they have been on the market for years

:agreed:
I have bought off this seller and haven't had any dramas :ok:
However the $36 valuation is BS, "Blue Sheet" has this at $30 for a MS67 coin .

[Australian coin]

I know this seller, the coin is good, just been put in a slab by someone.
he wouldn't intentionally rip someone off he is too nice for that.
yeah I don't think he is into grading coins, so this is news to me

[ausjack]

I'll take ya word for it mate :winkextra:

[Australian coin]

you want something to look at, well here's a junk coin >> http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ERROR-BLANK-PLANCHET-AUSTRALIAN-5-CENT-COIN-YEAR-UNKNOWN-LOTbp-/221329927327?pt=AU_Coins2&hash=item33884aac9f#ht_1184wt_1399

and I would be returning this one for another as its clearly damaged >> http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2014-australian-mint-coin-set-with-error-1-colour-coin-very-rare-set-/271337988636?pt=AU_Coins2&hash=item3f2d01221c#ht_303wt_1399

The 5¢ looks like a very soft strike. Either a thin planchet or while they were setting up the press.

The $1 is probably damaged by the robot that assembles the sets. Damage on opposite sides would suggest it was crushed by too high a pressure.

So OK, both descriptions are crap. And the set is not worth a premium. But other than that, there's nothing dodgy going on here.

[Australian coin]

haha I never said they were dodgy just not worth buying, well not worth collecting anyway too
oh you want to see my latest purchase, haven't got it yet but yeah, its a bit crappy but I am giving it a home



$6.45 including post is ok

[ausjack]

yep that's alright for a nice little error :winkextra:

[Robster]

'nice catch' :ok:

[Fulvio]

not worth collecting anyway

Hrm.... I'd put the 3d and the 5¢ in the same basket for desirability. I'd give both a home if I found them, but I wouldn't buy either one in their condition. :angel:
