Yes I do find it amazing that nobody else has come up with an auction site with lower fees. when you consider the size of ebays market there is plenty for a competitor to undercut. Maybe I should do it.

someone already has http://www.ebid.net/ For £49.49 you can list and sell with no fees for a lifetime. Interesting for those online dealers and for the normal everyday user the fees are reasonable.

Just registered and used the seller+ option costing 50 quid. You're allowed up to 5 stores with no insertions fees or FVFs for life, the only fee you'll have is if someone pays with Paypal now. F@@k ebay

ebay is like the bbc,like anyone else there is a market.Let the market decide...Ghengis Khan get orf my seat

Peter, the Free fees option only runs for another 24hrs then back to normal, it may well be worth the £50 now rather than fees later

Hammered Unknow Coin

Wonder why there are no bids? It certainly has been hammered. More hammered that a Glaswegian on a Friday night, I'd say.

Choice "I can see the leaters (sic) B-R-A" no doubt for the tit he thinks will buy it

I always thought that the Kingdom of Unknow had never issued the pink and black denominations?

C'mon, what's the problem? It's an english Edward XIV threeqarter-pence, copper sovereign, without stops, legend starting at 24 minutes past seven! Some people just want to be hand-held through the entire process!

Also, look at the sixpence for sale and then look at the seller's only purchase. Looks like he's a hammered shiller, too!

That looks like a squashed bottle top... Bargain at £50!

You know, old though I am, it still surprises me that people will pay more for a lesser coin because it looks like a soap bubble.

Told ya, buy a raw one and get a small tin of pertrol/paraffin, and send them back to the USA. In fact, that newbie who was doing that pryamid scheme might actually have his uses

Anybody figure what's going on here? £430.00 for a forgery, when all the others from this seller are much more reasonable? Admitedly. I haven't seen a 1787 halfpenny before but even so...

Just as you said "never seen before" I know the seller very well and was outbid by him on that lot at auction. It is a genuine sale and the coin will probably go across the pond, which is where 99% of the Georgian forgeries end up (colonoial Revolutionary period coinage anybody?)

I have sold washers for £200-£300 before just because they are scarce dies, this one I aint seen before either buddy

I would expect the 1781 to fetch a good price as well.

Either there's some determined shilling going on (suspicious bidding pattern, yes?), or else someone desperately wants it for the date. But I agree, it's a weird one. You wouldn't raise that for a regular EF halfpenny of that series, so your guess is as good as mine.

Richard is not a shiller, so we can put that to bed.

Is it lost on you that the date does not exist and does not turn up among forgeries? The price is high because it is contemporary, rare and in good condition for a series that is regularly very poorly produced. No mystery just simple supply and demand.

As you see John, that's what I said!! But on that basis, a unique date of a "To Hanover" gaming token or faked spade guinea, should command a similar value. All we're saying is that it's a weirdly high price - albeit a unique date - for what is, at the end of the day, a forgery.

Though I collect George III counterfeits I know next to nothing about the copper series. However some of those were produced in America, and if that's the case the price will probably be much higher than an English counterfeit.
