I thought this 1926 ME I picked up recently for £250 was quite a lucky find.

my items for sale on ebay I have listed, on eBay, the bulk of my copper half penny collection. I will try to list the balance of the coins soon as time permits. I have attempted to price the items fairly based upon recent sales records. I also have an assortment of other various items listed as well. I can't do anything about the VAT, but I know that eBay insists on shipping each AUCTION lot separately. I do not know if the same applies to "Buy It Now" sales. Obviously, this does not apply to domestic USA sales. That being said, I am open to all reasonable offers, and am willing to combine individual lots into larger combined lots in order to expedite the shipping process. I find eBay International shipping provides a safer, more secure, and more economical shipping option for me. Please feel free to make an offer or contact me if there is anything of interest to you. Thank you, Gary my items for sale on EBAY

I think that was who it was. The listing has now gone. I can understand dealers buying and reselling at a profit, but collectors are quite savvy, so if there is a coin of interest come up at auction, the likelihood is that the collector will be bidding on it. A while ago, Jon Blyth listed a hammered coin on ebay (think it was a William I penny) which sold for something like £2500. A week later, the buyer relisted it for around £4500. Again, those interested would have been bidding the first time around...I would have thought.

Hi all, I'm back after about 13 years! I joined this forum when I first started collecting, and since then I've worked at Spink, Heritage Auctions, Sovereign Rarities, and am now at eBay UK as category manager for coins. It's funny logging back into my account here as my profile picture is still the first Newark shilling I ever purchased. It's been upgraded three times since, culmunating in this from the recent Mortcombe collection... a dream coin for me, a Newark showing a visible 'A' hallmark denoting its host plate's production in 1638.

I see the 1849 penny from the auction has pitched up on ebay for double the price it hammered at...😕

I have rung the wife and told her I my be a little late home
