Three quid down the Swanee...

[Gary D 76]

Here's my next entry on this topic. A couple of weeks ago I won these on ebay. They were up for the normal 0.54 ausie cents but some numpty with a feedback of 20 decided to chuck $10 into the pot so I ended up paying nearly £6 including postage.

When my camera has had a bit of a charge I post a picture of the results

That's a nice 1910. Not a bad '07 either.

If anyone wants the 1906, 1907, 1909 and 1910 the first to pm me their address can have them as a free give away. The 1908 F164A worth over £600 I'm keeping myself. lol

Really? Far be it from me to doubt you, but looking at both faces (1 o'clock), I'm not sure I can see that.

Gary, do get back to us once you get the coin in hand and have a look at the edge. Very nice pickup if it is proof, even if mishandled.

Yes definitly raised edge, I actually had it in hand when I posted the reply. If you look at the ebay pictures you can just see the edge lettering. It gives the outline a slight lumpy look. Still was taking a chance with my £14 until it arrived. It has a bit of a rub on the fields but still worth flipping back onto ebay with a red box which I have spare. Not to sure when to do it though with Christmas apon us. If I put it on for 10 days it would finish on the Sunday between Christmas and new year. Not sure if anyone will be spending that sort of money then. Decision decisions.

Very nice! And you weren't taking much of a chance tbh - it's quite clearly a superior striking, the least you could have expected was a specimen ;-)

Yes, it's OE 1926, looks pretty good for 99p ! It's better than VF not far off EF I'd say

That 1938 though, isn't worth more than about 99p and you've got £1.50 postage on top (not such a bargain )

That's a very nice 1926.

I've had one disapointment this week, a 1909 which looked as if it could be a 1 to tooth. My hopes were dashed when a couple of days after I won it the seller auctioned another one using the same picture. Yup stock pictures grrrr. I have put in a 'not as described' before when this happens, but I don't know if I can be bothered this time as the coin is in a similar condition. I would have if the picture was EF+ and a worn washer turned up. I'll definitly mention it in the feedback, probably won't neg him though.

Anyway I still have hopes for this one.

1911 penny
