fraudulent listings

Be aware of fraud listings of Sterling Silver Coins.  People are listing Australian Florin  coins that have only 50% silver content as Sterling Silver 925. It is not.

To be Sterling silver  The content must be 92.5% Silver content and the remainder percentage of other metals usually copper.  

So Buyer beware

That is a rather sweeping statement.

Australian coins minted between 1910 and 1945 were indeed sterling silver.....after 1945 they were 50% silver.

The coins that I looked at were listed correctly.

Florins have 92.5% silver content as lyndal has stated.

You have your wires crossed and you need to educate yourself on coins.

I can imagine how many coins you must have missed out on purchasing that were of real value due to your incorrect assumption.

Claims to be a "collector" and not a "dealer" - I would suggest that given the number of his/her listings for coins and notes he is defintately a "dealer"

And is another seller who won't be responsible for any lost mail.

Well sir yes you will be responsible and you will have to refund if you indeed don't post with tracking.

And he's not a dealer it's from his own collection please lol Woman Wink

To be fair, out of 1759 fb,  he's only got 99 fb as a seller.

Good point Stawka - mostly a buyer.

 

From where I stand having bought & sold coins for in excess of 15 years...

 

I took a look at the OP's listings - alarm bells immediately went off - especially with coins :

 

Item 162623867685

 

In excess of 150 items from Dremil - except for the felt polishing wheels.

 

For me begs a question - a big question.

 

Coins.
