He might want to try Numismatik Lanz here in Munich, he mostly sells (through auctions) Celtic, Roman, Greek, Byzantine. I heard that he has the largest Byzantine collection in the world

Thought i'd kick start proceedings. Good luck (null)

Agreed but there are 2 fools in this, the 1 who slabs it straight from the mint and the other who buys it for an over-inflated price in the slab

A Quote from the ebay blurb"As a guide to price, the last example we sold some years ago went for £950" probably forget to mention the helping hand he probably gave it, this time it sold for £330 which is more realistic IF IT SOLD that is The winning bidder with a 10 feedback score, feedback will reveal if it actually sold

Maybe one for you in the Heritage sale accumulator, i like the look of that one myself http://www.sixbid.com/browse.html?auction=1105&category=22650&lot=1030290

I did'nt hinkt Hey were that rare either Peck, i's have said it was a fairly common coin as they come up for sale quite often

There does'nt seem to be quite the rush as some of those sellers anticipated. You can get one for just over face on ebay unslabbed

Is that you quoting a SPINK BOOK PRICE Rob? Surely a coins value is what a buyer is Willling to pay and Spink is merely a guide

I think Spink have left the patterns to others such as Peck and a good idea at that or else the book would be massive

I have a few things listed on the bay but i'm letting them run out and not relisting until the end of the month, all are BINs though

Agreed, best to leave it, hopefully they may come down in their Price as it's now obviously to much

I also agree with you Rob, some People think These things go cost free. I vertainly post at cost and thats without the cost of the packet included, anything over 46 Pounds goes Special delivery, under that goes signed for, but you always get People who think that postage should be 1 Pound for everything. Then there's this visibility Thing for People who post free of Charge which is a joke and an unfair Monopoly as i also pay my fees just like everyone else. In short, i hate ebay

£13.55 for a coin with a legal face value of £20! Now that's good business... for the buyer. Methinks 'motodude' drives a Reliant Robin and does shady deals on London estates. Nobody can lose so much that easily without being a real plonker. Monge twa Rodders

You forget, he has fees to pay on top, so it has been a loss. Possibly be relisted me thinks

I'm already out Peck, i was looking at two different coins, now looking at one. Accumulator is thinking this one over

PM sent Steve

Well i also have my eye on another Steve and its the one i'm more interested in. The penny is £600 so if it still interests you then let me know and i'll PM you the link, oh and you won' be able to negotiate, its fixed at that price.

Whilst on the subject of proofs, i've been watching this one with a view to buying and would like opinions of it.

Most of you who own an Apple product will know that Flash Player is'nt compatible with iphones and ipads etc. Well i was on the saleroom today and an advert popped up on the Scrolling preview suggesting a browser called puffin which would enable an iphone or ipad to use Flash. As i don't use the Laptop much These days due to having an ipad it generally frustrated me that i could'nt watch live bidding online because of the Flash Problem, anyway, i've downloaded the puffin browser (you can have a 2 week Trial or buy for 1.99) so i went ahead and purchased it and low and behold it works a treat, so DNW live bidding from the bed in the morning, just Need a serving wench to fetch me a cuppa tea

Well it is right now, but if Obama has his way we may join the VAT Club! LOL! BTW Dave, who awarded you the new Membership moniker (above your avaitar)...Chris? Just kidding! Ha,Ha! Lol, it was me Bob, thought i'd liven up the profile a bit as my friend keeps checking it out

Gewu, so its just Europe thats getring ripped off then

Jaggy, do you take into account the import duty when bidding? i've bought a couple of coins recently from the USA and both were sent in letter form, one was $800 and none of them sat in customs because of this, so it seems they can Open large packets/boxes etc but nothing that looks like normal Mail which has probably saved me 50 euros in tax

Gotta love how this thread rapidly evolved into ornothology, this was from a coin question. Amazing P.s Stuart, i knew it was that birdie as well

It certainly tries one's self-discipline if you tune in to the auction with no budget and no intention to spend any money! I just about managed to abstain (this time!) ... what did you win Garrett?I was lucky, i was looking at the same two coins as Garrett and missed out. Its funny, because when i've missed out i find myself scrambling around the catalogue again when i should just leave it be (which i managed to do this time)
