Yup, i think these are all commeratives, 1 year types

If anyone has an Edward III halfgroat they could upload the picture and let her compare it, am intruged as to how it ended up in the hoover, were you hoovering a field?

If money was no object, what coin would be first on your purchase list: For me, i have no idea as yet, i'm still relatively new at this, but i'm interested to know what a seasoned collector would buy, lets not be to outrageous though, lets say for arguements sake that you have a spare 20-30k

3/4 down the page is a part from the UK, and old guy had a furnace in his house lmfao, very imaginitive http://www.coinauthentication.co.uk/newsletter10.html#china

Its countdown for the Gothic Crown, 400 has his finger poised (on the fish) and his Heckler Koch :-)

Here's another, she states quote "Relisted Due To A Non- Payer If You Have Nothing To Do Or You Are Not Concerned About Your Ebay Account Then Go And Pester Some One Else, This Is A Serious Auction For Serious People!<<<<<<<<< (is she serious) Must cost these people a fortune to list a 50 pound coin at 3.5 million http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/UNDATED-RARE-20p-PIECE-ROYAL-MINT-ERROR_W0QQitemZ120484963226QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Coins_BritishDecimal_RL?hash=item1c0d76a39a

This one is even better http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/10-UNDATED-MULE-20p-COINS-2-FULL-COAT-OF-ARMS-SETS_W0QQitemZ270541407572QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Coins_BritishDecimal_RL?hash=item3efd864554

Must be shill bidding in order to make people think that it is actually worth that money, as you say, they are only worth around 30-50 max, send us the ebay link to it so we can all have a laugh, i personally will email him asking what his bestester BIN price would be lmfao, maybe we should all email him, he'll think he's onto a winner.

no its up at lockdales coin auction sunday 21st March. the estimate is £4000-£5000 if you fancy it. Wait till i check me wallet................Ummm skint lol

Stunning coin, is that on ebay?

I think sometimes people just miss it out because they don't see it, i know i have

I think that mite run into 4 figures

Now here's a Gothic Crown

It does look highly polished, and if you didn't realise, you can email the seller asking your question about a return if it has in fact been polished. I've seen a better one, near museum piece, but at 3k its a bit steep for me, maybe i'll ask the Frau to open her purse

There was no Sovereign Hussulo, it was a halfcrown, perhaps polished with brasso, nevertheless, it was silver, honest

I emailed the seller last night about it, and he replied and said "I have considered what you say and have to admit the coin does not grade as UNC. I have withdrawn it, changed the listing and re-listed it as VF. Thanks for your kind comments I can only say in my defence that I took my eye of the ball". Well i suppose thats fair enough, at least he done the decent thing and dropped the grade.

Ok, i hold my hand up, it was me...........The wife will kill me now

Its a polished GF Personally i would have said VF+ so thats 3 grades already for just this coin, it's not easy this grading mularky is it

Thank you again Peckris for clearing up that other mystery, learning every day

I was checking out some coins and just wondered why 1854 coins seem to be worth a whole lot more than some other dates IE 1854 Shillings and sixpences. I don't know why this is or why it seems to be a key date, can someone please enlighten me?

Here is a case of a seller stating his coin is UNC when in my opinion it blatantly isn't, for me the head is worn and there's a huge rim nick. See what you and others think. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1874-Half-Crown-Uncirculated-grade_W0QQitemZ270541912974QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Coins_BritishMilled_RL?hash=item3efd8dfb8e If you look at his description he states UNC then in the article description he says Judge and Bid, its all about enticement

Alas, I have moved them on. Now if you think shifting a 1787 Shilling in EF is a challenge, try getting rid of half a dozen Lee Enfields... Psst, Mate, wanna buy some rifles...... I bet that was interesting and very difficult, unless you're in London or Manchester, then i'd say you sold them rather easily

It sounds like thats exactly what he's done, i assume he really knew it was'nt in the particular grade he stated and used wording and the pics to "judge for yourself" but dropped in the grade to entice, there is a lot of that on ebay, so if you don't want to get your fingers burnt take a little time to study pics and grading, that way it will then only be you to blame for future mistakes, but don't make them so costly next time. Gold has always bullion value anyway, so you won't lose a huge amount on what you bought.

If war breaks out we're all coming to 400s for a coffee and a rifle

If i were you i'd ask the seller for your money back
