Yes, and too many! Works the other way as well though... as a seller, I always state in the description 'sensible reserve' or words to that effect, yet people still bid £1.24! Why?! I'm hardly going to 2nd chance offer you at that price! I've got some junk from bulk lots that I would happily exchange for £1.24... If anybody offes £1.24 for my vast array of 'commemorative crowns' I would take it and run!

Thanks for the input I've put this on ebay at 99p no reserve so it will go to the highest beidder on there, On reflection it doesn't really fit in with my collection so it might as well go to somebody who will apprecitate it. Best way and good luck. BTW lowest reserve is £50 isn't it?...how many times do you see a coin worth about £30 which you quite fancy and is at £10...then you see the word reserve...Aggg. I'm with you there, I hate reserves for low value items. A lot of people have this weird infliction where they think their item is worth a fortune. Lately at car boots, I have seen people sellin ASC Victory medals for £30+. I just laugh as the true value is £8-10. People need to learn that old doesnt = valuable, I'm sure roman coin collector will understand. I went metal detecting as a child and found about 15 roman coins, wow must be worth a fortune! Total value 75p haha

Hi, My name is Joe, I am new to the forum. I am mainly a Medal collector, mostly WW1 as I love the research too, I have actually reunited some with the recipients Grandchildren etc who thought they were long gone. I do however have a soft spot for British an U.S currency and sometimes I get coins through 'job lot's' of medals I buy. Today I got this 20p and I nearly gave it back to the seller as I thought it was 'just a 20p' but the error was pointed out. I have a few questions and any help would be much appreciated. 1) How many of these are likely to be in existance? I know that is next to impossible to know but a 'guesstimate' would be great. 2) What is the approximate value? This won't be for sale either way, as I love the unusual and exotic but always nice to know. I appreciate you time, pics to follow. On the subjet of picture, sorry about the quality. We have just moved house and we are yet to unpack the camera!
