    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    Notice this myself he often gets double or treble what a coins worth I wonder if some shilling is going on
  2. Like the 1739 , 1746 and 1749 as well first two are fairly common the 1749 is a bit scarcer - nice chocolate tones as well on those three.
  3. Difficult when most are on dreadful cast blanks
  4. Try finding a 1862 fat eight farthing for your collection paddy - thats a hard one to find
  5. I would really like to own that 1721. farthing its a lot better than the one in my collection
  6. The 1721 farthing with a dot is not as rare as the 1721/0 but I would hazard a guess at 10 out of 100 random coins of this date would be about right the 1721/0 is probably about 4 in a 100

    Found in circulation £2

    I found this 2015 £2 coin in my change the other day , to be honest it looks like a proof or at least an ex set or something , the thing that made me check it twice was the prooflike appearence , it just seemed interesting . After checking out the coin I suddenly realised it has no "STANDING ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS" on the edge this is really dificult to picture but trust me there is just the normal reeded edge and no sign of the letters which appear on all £2 coins 1998-2015 to the best of my (little) knowledge.
  8. I was not just that, with the industial devestation in the north a but of luck was needed as well - I was very lucky I sailed though the major and thatcher years and only claimed a weeks unemployment benefit admitedly I was never on good wages but I was gainfully employed as they say

    I think that the person who did this was more a seller of the coins on ebay than a collector
