Yes, bend over after i've sold this coin to you, you have been screwed

Why do you think he calls himself the ring master

Stingmaster might have been more appropropriate

Poor Liz! I did wonder upon whom Mrs Shrek was based!

Not sure I'd want to get on the wrong side of the guy hiding behind that coin in the photo!

And check out his feedback response: "NOT MY FAULT THE ITEM WAS STOLEN!!" (honest, officer!)

we have all at some point moaned about ebay prices for selling and paypal costs and dicks who dont get their coins etc etc........but we have to give them enormous credit for the great laughs theyve given us here on this forum, this last one being one of the best in my book.

There was one reported that made me aware of it, and I currently own one, and know of one other... so that would make at least 3....

Another one that mystifies me! I can't see anything special about it, unless I'm missing something?

It's unique! How many coins feature those alluring folds and creases?

I think if you could sort out the bend then it would be quite a nice coin. The detail is good (VF or so, apart from maybe a few scratches). The problem being that it can be quite tricky straightening the things without leaving an obvious crease. But maybe someone feels confident?

Looks possible when viewed from the reverse, but I think that's deceptive! When viewing from the obverse that crease is so acute that even with heat it would probably leave an ugly big stress line! It also looks to me to have been struck across the bust (where's Peter?) a couple of times with an iron, it looks stepped, and deformed generally!

And what does the rest of that crown look like?

£85 last time I looked! Wow!

I've love to see the coin post treatment!
