Good luck with that Colin. I'm not a collector of foreign, and the British coins are mostly types I've already got. I was interested in the 1689 halfcrown to fill a gap, but I think (from its appearance) that it may be a forgery? Unsure.

Good luck - some buyers may find your blanket use of the word rare off-putting particularly when all the coins are not actually rare at all.

Kind Regards

Welcome Colin!

I bought a coin from you the other day - an upgrade for my 1889 Double Florin, and was very pleased with it. Just thought I'd vouch for you, 'cos I'm good like that.

Nice to see you here.

Nice to see you here, although i'm thinking that you're more here to ply your wares other than have an interest in collecting, but hey ho.

Maybe if you do well out of the sales, you can maybe find a keyboard with a caps lock lol.

Just took a quick look at your ebay, you want to charge a tenner to post international for a worn sixpence , lets be honest, it's never gonna cost that much in reality surely? Thats a bit OTT eh?

It also looks like some of the silver coins have been polished unfortunately. The 1887 double Florin looks a likely candidate

Yes - slightly off-putting particularly when you intimate to limited knowledge!

you want to charge a tenner to post international for a worn sixpence

A touch steep, but I've seen far worse!

And the 1890 groat... and the 1887 Crown...!

Still - everything there is honestly photographed and described and I like the ruler at the top of the pics!

Regarding your neg feedback for the dollar - ignore them... if they buy a dollar, it's going to be dollar sized! You always get some ejits on fleabay!
