They'll learn one day, and some may even start enjoying the hunt. The rest will find a new fad soon enough. -

Given the 20k+ queue of peeps looking at the site today, I'm not expecting any major value to be attributable to them. Of course 90 million will turn up on fleabay listed as "Rare"... -
It would seem everyone and their dog are trying to look at the RM this morning (well, everyone who is bored of the weather anyway!) ... Slow loading has given me time to eat my cornflakes and we're only up to picture "C" - Congrats on 10k posts, you've gone somewhat more grey now.

What's the reverse of that halfcrown like anyway ?
-
I was thinking lead too, it has the white crunchy look to it, like fairly recent lead which has been in a wet environment for a while.
-
One is lit from below, the other from above. Same coin IMHO.
-
*including variants.

It is quite suprising sometimes just what does get delivered. Yours must have taken some doing to get the decent-ish looking Left image. Mine looked like it might be OK and actually turned up being better than expected. I hope my run continues, 4 ish more silvers to get, and then I just need some bronze improvers and the gold to complete the "everything from 1887 pile". I know that this will probably never get finished after seeing the 5 Pounds earlier!
-
Don't forget the Mint Your Own 2018 Isaac and the 2 Paddington Bears as well
-
1887 continues with the somewhat harshly treated 1+A Shilling ( I love the way it photographs though!)
-
And for good measure .. is that even die 98 or 38 or something else.
-
Edit - it's bloody costly though
-
I'm going to say no, I can't see an overdate, the die looked like it was a bit roiugh around the edges. Allcoinvalues has an 1872 which looks equally poorly formed. another die 98 shilling doesn't seem so bad. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GREAT-BRITAIN-Victoria-1872-AR-Shilling-PCGS-MS66-KM-734-2-S3906A-Die-98/182782553503?hash=item2a8eb06d9f:g:V4AAAOSwYkBZxTeD

The last R of BritanniaR might be worth a closer look too..
-
Just when you think it's safe ... Why not ask for some coins up front or an "administration fee" so that you can "release the funds" to his account. Say ooh, about a grand. No harm in trying to scam the scammers, I say!

The Elusive 2002 Jamaica Proof Set Remains So

Finding that is like spotting the Loch Ness monster -
Thats just my crap webcam I really should do some better pictures, too many sitting in boxes without a decent photo to their name, but then .. too much to do and not enough time to enjoy a pastime.
-
I didn't know there was an R/E for 1887?
-
In a similar vein though I picked up this VictoR/Bia last week. Apologies for the crap photos, its time to go for a beer so no full camera pics until later
-
I tend to need things not quite that subtle
-
The Battle of Britain 50p has no denomination when in the RM packs, surely that should also be listed as a mule of dubious intention?
-
No, that was yesterday. Paddington Bear 50p's are the new hype.
-
I couldn't agree more Paddy, and the constant daytime TV ads designed to get frail minded pensioners to "invest" should be investigated too. Some of the small print is not on screen long enough to focus on, let alone read, and at no point do they explain that while you may get a "gold coin" it's value is vastly less than that of the sum you are paying for a "limited edition 'commemorative' coin". Worthless POS would be more accurate.
-
Personally I find transfers/paint/artificial colour on coins really really hateful. I'd buy these literally for any profit margin to be had short term from the interweb hype.
