I think it depends on the individual value and what price you want for them! For instance, a couple of years ago I had a group of 6 very nice condition (EF or better) 1930s/40s farthings - cant remember the dates, so dont ask! Listed twice as a group for a tenner plus a quid P&P, and got no more than 2 watchers either time! Listed separately at a quid (plus a quid) each, and sold all 6 to a total of £23 plus P&P! Five even went to the same buyer!
-
And from the same seller... NEWSFLASH!!! 2003 £2 coins are worth £4 plus £2 P&P!!! Where is the crying smilie when I need it?!
-
Oh dear... someone clearly cant read!
-
In fairness, he might mean the hard plastic that Natwest/Lloyds issued with it... that must be worth at least an extra 50p!

:groan:

Cool - waaay better than my grandad then! Best he managed (from his sock draw!) was a almost unidentifiable 1762 quarter guinea which someone had made a donut from! So much was missing from the middle, that only the width of the crown on the reverse remained!
-
Beat me to it!
-
Do you know what the diameter is?
-
Ahh ok... I got one of them too... a grandad see's London Mint Office/Westminster Coins etc adverts in the paper and insists on buying things for me! He nearly stopped when the 1818 crown that he bought me turned out to be a barely legible date rather than the aUnc picture!
-
Westminster Coins sent me one of the Rhodium/platinum/gold-plated pennies for free... It's quite attractive in a strange way, but worth almost exactly what I paid for it! I have to ask though - if you didnt really want it, why did you buy it?!

Woohoo! Seagulls for the Premiership! Sorry - I'll go lock myself in the cupboard again! -

Giving up collecting
Cerbera100 replied to azda's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I knew teenage boys and the internet didnt mix very well! -
I clearly need to play with my resolution settings... I just get a grey dot on a brown background! Still, I might chance 99cents to see what it actually is!

One for the penny collectors! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1866-PENNY-/180696286776?pt=UK_Coins_BritishMilled_RL&hash=item2a12568638#ht_500wt_949

Don't wind the lad up. From a very early age I was convinced I had an early unrecorded hammered groat (that my father dug up in his allotment).It was of course a jetton. Apologies - I was winding myself up more than anything! The kid's got a lovely varied set of coins there, and I hope that he will become (if he's not already!) as passionate about numismatics as the rest of us!
-
I dont suppose we can get a pic of the reverse of the 1903?! Always the glimmer of hope of an open 3!
-
Yeah... possibly the 4 as well! Maybe by his maths, its a dollar a year...

I used to like chips with my SPAM and maybe an egg or 2. I then found that SPAM did not agree with me and decided to stop eating SPAM as I preferred corned beef, but not with eggs. SPAM is not good for you Sir, but eggs are. I can therefore offer you a large amount of SPAM if you are interested in my offer? Good point well made!

One sided 1974 penny error or manipulated?
Cerbera100 replied to seuk's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
A nice little error there... would be fun to know where the other half was and reunite them! In my personal opinion, the ghosting on the 'reverse' is just that... just like good old GeorgeV pennies! If you are interested in finding a new home for it, drop me a PM -
1821 sixpence BBITANNIAR?
Cerbera100 replied to Nick's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
That DNW specimen is too worn to be conclusive - it could easily be BBITANNIAR, with wear or damage to the first B which is only half there anyway. I saw this one in hand... looked at it without really reading description, then checked again and nearly laughed! If they can call that an 'apparently unrecorded variety' than the blank copper disk in my hand is the 'previously unknown and definitely unrecorded' 1933 low tide penny with die numeral below date and 1/2d sized letters! -
Not if the buyer doesnt request or pay recorded/special delivery (two cases in have in mind sold for £8 and £13 so not worth £3 for recorded)... No tracking code = seller didnt post it in PayPals eyes!
-
Ridiculously simple! Paypal has virtually no vendor protection! To the point where unless the onus is on the vendor to prove that its real or arrived in one piece/at all!
-
Well... he offers a money-back guarantee... Q: hi there this coin doesnt look real, can u offer authenticity,rgds A: hi i no the man that found all of the coins that are on this site with his metal detector and non of them are fake if so you will get you money back though a little grammar wouldn't go amiss!

The Great Scottish Weather
Cerbera100 replied to azda's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
I got back from holiday last week, and when we landed the stewardess came on the PA system saying 'welcome back to the UK, as you can see we're in the middle of the heaviest drought for X years!' Needless to say, the rain was Noah-esque!
