    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    I've been told these daft listings can sometimes be money laundering.

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    Completed listings shows it last closed at £155 so I suspect, whatever the seller ID, she's now so familiar people are happy to have a bit of fun at her expense. Who here remembers the slightly faulty decimal coin she asked a million for because she wanted to buy a chippy?

    "The coin does have a small hole on it likely to be from use." Eh?

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/385421080558?hash=item59bce2f7ee:g:SCwAAOSwhtxj7Tf7 I see the lucky chimney find is at £37, with 17 bids, and with 6 days still to run. I suspect it likely a few rascals having a bit of fun? Poor dear, she's been let down in the past by winning bidders who failed to pay up for her 1933 pennies hasn't she. Tsk, you just can't depend on people these days. So, fingers crossed this time eh? Told it may be worth around a quarter of a million, so listed on eBay, without reserve, at a starting price of 99p.🤞

    I despair, I really do. How long would it have taken this div to search eBay for the same coin before listing? It took me as long as it took to type '50 pence 1997 Bailiwick of Guernsey'. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=50+pence+1997+bailiwick+of+guernsey&_sacat=11116

    Is this a mule 1860 Penny?

    Is this the 1860 mule you were grading Uncirculated?

    The third came in a Whitman folder with a date run of other worn pennies and a crude hole had been cut in the margin of one of the pages for the 1933. The collection had been bought at a charity sale held at The Church of St Cross in Middleton.

    The seller ID may be fresh but that idiosyncratic voice is familiar. Is this now a third 1933 penny and accompanying tall tale in as many years?
  10. Michael-Roo

    1922 penny

    My guess is PMD.

    No H 1882 Penny :o

    I'm pretty sure I see the remains of an H in that photo.

    Simon Cowell's new face.

    Yup. His latest round of surgery.

    Four Feather Falls, Supercar, Fireball XL5, Stingray.

    Royal Mail track and trace website down

    Yes, I've just now tried to use their webpage too and after which noticed this thread in Google. As Mike says: not good.

    More Pennies

    I have many 19th and 20th century sovs, none of which look anything like this. That's a weirdly yellow/green gold. Solid or plated?

    BMC 525 Farthing - looking for a very rough valuation

    Yes, that's the collection coin, and what a beauty it is. A keeper!

    BMC 525 Farthing - looking for a very rough valuation

    To be frank I think £200 would be optimistic and I doubt you'd even get back the £155 you paid eighteen years ago. But you're not looking to sell so value doesn't really matter. Remember, this one of mine, a little better than yours and sitting in a world wide shop window, didn't sell at £75.
