  1. Yesterday
  2. Arrived from Spain yesterday. Pleased to say that it is one. 9 1/2 date space and D to a tooth. Far better condition than I was expecting. Via this thread, a population of 7, known or presumed, since 2008. Extremely rare, or only 5 people bothered to look for one. Possibly the latter.😁

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    Nothing here. ☹️. Perhaps unsurprisingly . Idiot or fraudster? Likely both in this case. Jerry

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    I told the seller I have a bagful, and I've offered to sell them for £20 each.....
  10. If the sellers photos are to be believed, I think I've picked up another one.
  11. Wow! I've had a read and a look at the photos, and I have to say it looks like those examples look as close as it's going to get! I doubt it is double struck from the look of it in person but I am very grateful for the ID! I 100% agree, the period of the anarchy was definitely a numismatic free for all, whoever had a mint, minted whatever they like. I may hold onto it and see if I can get an even closer ID because there is some lettering to go off of in the obverse legend! Thank you so much once again for taking the time to help!

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    I have messaged him several times telling him that this coin is not unique or rare but he ignores me and persists to fraudulently advertise it on Ebay. Maybe a few more messages from other collectors might convince him ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266776453944?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11011.m43.l1123&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=297be0ec5ffd48a1a674033d3c313703&bu=43154646029&exe=0&ext=0&osub=-1~1&crd=20240419233910&segname=11011

    Coin prices continue to rise

    I remember that Baldwin's sold an 1863 (!) proof florin about 10 years ago for 1250 quid! That coin was subsequently graded Proof 63+ cameo.....Maybe 8-10x that now?

    Ebay's worst AI coin descriptions!

    For the past 25 years or more, nonsense descriptions have been the norm. So how would you differentiate AI from the usual garbage? Indeed, you could argue that up to now the descriptions have predominantly been made by people with artificial intelligence and that eBay is only now catching up. Literacy or accuracy have never been a strong point of eBay listings.
  19. Yes, we've all seen the hilarious AI stuff, making out some ruined Sanyo music centre from the 70's is the best thing since sliced bread regarding aesthetics and sound reproduction, but what about coins???? Please post them here!!
  20. There is coins from the Carlisle mint that were possibly struck under the Scots that have a right sided sceptre. Not sure if that's what you've got or something that's double struck.The coins from that period were a mess. https://www.britnumsoc.org/publications/Digital BNJ/pdfs/2013_BNJ_83_6.pdf

    No they stopped a few years back. The auctions take too much time of their time and are far more profitable than grading unfortunately.
  22. Earlier
  23. Proof and pattern florins have gone through the roof in the last 5 or 6 years. I only want 3 'Godless' pieces to show the 3 obverses and 3 reverses and I have two, but when the third one on the list appeared in a sale last year, it made nearly 15K, or 10 times what I paid for the other two in 2010. At this level I'm a yesterday's man.

    Coin prices continue to rise

    Yes indeed. I don't imagine it is collectors purchasing these coins.

    Coin prices continue to rise

    Was that the sale with several florin Proofs in it? Yes they were very high prices realised.
