    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    I tend to search particular denominations and dates. It shouldn't effect me. I sometimes do a sweep through early milled and hammered (hammered have cost me a bit over the years).I still do a sweep of my favoured dealers a few times a week.
  4. We buy the butchers bacon and compared to ASDA is cheaper and a fraction of the white fat.

    Bullion Shops

    I've had a few results at a local antique centre. trouble is I go for a look at the coins and often come home with clutter.
  6. I worked in a butchers when at school. My sausages were gorgeous and contained no ears,snout or gums. I do reckon the value sausages are a bit dodgy.

    Common varieties are squirrelled away.Bullion shops are few and far between. There are plenty of varieties out there it is just where you draw the line.

    2000th topic

    No! 'Most collectable' is a tough one because what people collect is subjective. Rarest is probably that Olympic swimmer 50p with the lines on the face that was withdrawn, or was just the Royal Mint being sloppy. As the public aren't aware of it though, it's not generally collected like the dateless 20p was. It was mentioned in Coin News but the press haven't picked it up.The Olympic 50p's are also being tucked away.(Even my mother keeps them)

    Hi Chris Good to see you How did the house renting scenario go? What are you collecting nowadays? I can remember you getting some nice Roman Gold. When is the next CCGB coming out? When are you going back to 1672? etc etc.

    2000th topic

    I will start this one off with the obvious undated 20p. However a £15 coin until the press picked up on it to £300 and now back to £40.I reckon a £40 coin to 2050.Nice investment....not. My 2nd choice would be the Olympic 50p's which are all fairly rare.Trouble is everyone is collecting them.

    What do you reckon to this ebay seller?

    Right here we go About 5 years ago I was at Lockdales table at the midland having a chat.They put about 100 coins in a tray at £10 each.I picked up a gothic 1853 florin.nvf I couldn't live with it...uneven toning etc so sold for £25 on ebay. After dipping it made £80.00 Who is the prat here? Unless complete novices or respected dealers...I wonder (I feel worried for Paulus)

    What do you reckon to this ebay seller?

    I've sold to him nice UNTOUCHED coins which appear on Ebay. 2 months later....dipped and mugs buy them.
  24. I do find it annoying when a seller lists a coin with a value of £10 and states no reserve....considering £50 is the lowest reserve.
