Coinery

Join the que. I don't think they even left the mlnt like that. The nearest you will get is a VIP proof.This is what I was thinking, Gary, even the most commonly coin has its rarity! I'd seriously like a quality one, though, if anyone has such a thing?

Just as an aside, what did CGS value it at?

I think it's a radical coin too! Anyone got an unblemished BU out there? No rim nicks, or digs, nice lustre? I want one, please!

The grammar and spelling says polished and S. plated circulation copper to me! Anyone that knows enough to "rite" scarce silver proof in their description, should also know that appalling grammar and a small feedback is not the place to roll such a piece out! Tosh!

Sell it to your dealer for £30! I can find him plenty of others if he's happy to pay that?

So, there you have it...a piece of £20 silver delivered for £117...bargain!Paulus' link (thanks, by the way!) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151310748742?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D151310748742%26_rdc%3D1

Starting to wish this was a Members Only section... Good job it wasn't you, then! You're all miles off the mark!

Just had a pleasant email! Well done, Sir!

I got around £30 for mine http://www.predecimal.com/forum/topic/7161-interesting-elizabeth-i-fake-shilling/?fromsearch=1Sold as a job lot of 3, including the H8 and E1 fake groats! So, basically a tenner each! Grrr! Edit: Looking back, it would be worth contact such sellers with a photo of an equivalent coin, and say I'd like a £100 for it! They might get their fingers burnt with greed, as I'd be surprised to see them achieve the same price twice!

LOL I've replied to the last post in a thread before this ... only to then find out it was only the last post on that page and my reply makes no sense half a page on! An easy mistake ...Also, for whatever reason, when I responded to Peck's reply, it was actually the last post showing on my refreshed page! All the other posts somehow dropped in between mine and Peck's posts...who knows what's going on, I've experienced it a lot of times?The only solution would be to multi-quote on every occasion but, for an off the cuff remark like mine, it didn't seem worth quoting half a page of text just to add it? If you know what I mean? Edit: just fully understood your post, TG...yes, I do that all the time too!

What?Difficult to write phonetically, but I meant (translates as...) 'doh, typical, phhh, just like you, Peck...laugh, laugh!'If you know what I mean? Edit: just realised a whole pile of posts occurred since I posted the Peeeck thang! Weird how that happens...you respond to a post, not wanting to jam up a page with multi-quotes, and look what happens?

Peeeeeck!

Charge an extra £100 or not? Hmmmm! To hear people talk, you would think their only interest in numismatics was purely financial! Provenance unnecessarily lost, I totally agree!

I think what Stuart is talking about is the 56 bids and £112 price Tag for a £30 coin. A clear example of shill biddingNo, looks to be a straight coin, Paul, on this occasion and, yes, spot on, Dave!

C'mon, please! 151310748742

It's clearly a larger leaf/acorn design, putting the leaves right up against the legend and date! Good major variety find, Dave! ;

I'm just so flipping annoyed at my most recently delivered package 371060410977 (link to seller please!)! It cost .99p (plus £1.25 2nd class 'letter' postage) for two variety 1967 half pennies...OK, so one could argue 'what do you expect'? But for me, this was a seller who knew enough about coins to list the varieties, yet was casual/uncaring enough to post them clanging together through our postal system in a shared plastic wallet...they were clanging like church bells, even picking them up from the post office! Why, just because they cost .99p should the seller pack them without care? I don't want bag marks on my coins, at least not addition ones from slopping packing! If they were £1k per piece that wouldn't happen (I hope)? I put a lot of time and effort into selecting pieces that look half decent, I really don't want to trust in god that they arrive as I saw them in the images, just because I didn't spend £50 on them! I could properly swear about this one...I'm furious!

Hilarious! Had the presence of mind to determine denomination, monarch, and approximate starting bid, but is conveniently absent minded about the chronology of arguably the most famous king of England!

Whooooo, hoooooo!

Just out of interest, does anyone know the relative scarcity, or not, of the D2338 proof (2+C)? Dave G has it down as 4+D but, of course, it was unconfirmed in Davies, but the same coin nonetheless. I only ask as I picked one up the other day!

What's the plan with this lot, Paulus, eBay?

Much obliged! All received with thanks! Brilliant!

For Chris, members, and members yet to join us... I just collected my decimal delivery from my father's today and, can I say, I'm absolutely delighted...softened the blow of selling two of my favourite Liz's and a J1 shilling this weekend! As I mentioned in another post, I just sifted through my brother's change and came away with £8's worth of coins from his £600 savings...comparing these to the 1970's + coins, freshly delivered from Germany, makes me chuck half my brother's coins back into circulation! Point is: many thanks, Chris; a lot of work packing peanut coins, but I have a fabulous wallet full of true BU coins with some grateful FOC coins...thank-you! Other point is: they look damn pretty in BU, I recommend anyone, any visitors, seasoned or otherwise, maybe just having a blip in finances, to give it a go! http://www.predecimal.com/coins-sale-british-decimal-coins-c-51_93.html I bought a few pre-dec Lizzies too! http://www.predecimal.com/coins-sale-british-predecimal-coins-c-51_32.html Bloody delighted!
