It is madness. Although not the forum member @Madness who, for a second, I thought you were referring to.

To keep my feet on the ground regarding some Ebay users, I sometimes search for 'chester draws' ( sic) for a laugh.......

This is bad enough to elicit a moan as it is precisely things like this that lead to ever higher numbers on slabs. Overgraded items languish in their slabs to the end of time, whereas those with a chance of receiving a higher grade are broken out and resubmitted. How this got anywhere near a 60+ number escapes me, but it only encourages the resubmission of a less bad example to try for a 64 or 65 label. From the next DNW sale, a 63 slabbed P1051. https://www.dnw.co.uk/auctions/catalogue/lot.php?auction_id=507&lot_id=50957 And my EF example of the same type, which I would contest, wins every time.

It is rather sad that so many people only care about the number on the slab rather than what the coin (and even less what the slab) looks like. Can you imagine the insult of putting for example a Charles I Oxford Crown in a plastic slab? If one were to slab such a treasure, it should be between two pieces of sapphire glass at least!

50p's to me are just things to flip. I confess to owning Kew, Olympic set, A-Z and a few other examples.I live my life in the fast lane. Numismatically I neither want or require them.

None? Any more is a slippery slope.

Thank you for pointing out the spelling error although, of coarse, I should have spotted that myself. The issue of 2 Home pages is foxing me at the moment, I can't seem to get rid of the scenic picture page, although that may just be par for the coarse.

Their GEF is barely EF. Your EF is at least GEF!
