    OMG you actually counted the beads on the obverse totally pointless , I honestly dont know how anyone has that much patience LOL

    Popularity is the main thing that ensures a coin is worth a tidy sum , you could have a unique coin but it would be worth diddly-squat if no-one wanted it thus increadably rare halfpenny like the DEI GRATIA 1695 halfpenny is only worth what a cheap secondhand car is worth , yet a edward VIII sovereign is a compleatly different kettle of fish

    While interesting this sort of variety is neither sort after or particularly valueable , they can easy be picked up for the price of a regular coin

    Why have coins never realised their full potential

    copper123 replied to copper123's topic in Free for all

    The funny think is art is where you see it, that 150 year old watercolour by an unknown victorian artist might only fetch £200 because there are loads of them around , also pottery , you cannot say that the wedgewood potteries don't produce a classy and affordable product that most people could afford to stash away in a cabinet somewhere at home , likewise the arts and crafts movement and art deco have both provided the masses with stylish items that are not out of anyones budgets , they might be mass manufactured but are ever popular with collectors .

    While many auction houses usually have a no returns /sold as seen policy there is usually some way of getting your money back and they can usually contact an underbidder as well, to ask if they would like a coin/lot that they underbid on.

    If you are unhappy with the descriptions or overgradeing with ANY seller just return it and ask for a refund , any sort of decent dealer will offer that for a short time at least . It really is no good putting up with substandard coins and just moaning about them on message boards . Vote with your feet. Are you lot men or mice, eeeekkk, eeeekkk, LOL
