You're very welcome Weaver. I'd grade Fine. Maybe one or two other members here may like to offer their assessment?

To clarify:
List price was £98 plus p&p, but the seller was offering a seasonal 10% discount on all coins so my total, for a very nice good fine Gouby X, was £91.
And I still have the one I'd grade fine, also bought from eBay a couple of years ago, for £1.50 inc p&p.

Yes, pre obverse die crack would be a bonus but surely a realistic grade would be NVF?

I would think die-fill most likely as I can see a ghosting of that missing upper horizontal.

I've attended lots of recitals and performances in the Lady Chapel, a programme of Tallis being particularly memorable. The acoustics are wonderful.

On four visits now I've stood inside St Mark's in Venice and, every time, have been overwhelmed by the beauty of my surroundings.
Old places of worship: y'can't beat 'em.
Should anyone on here find themselves in the vicinity I recommend Liverpool's Anglican cathedral. Even us Irish Catholics have to admit the building is astonishingly beautiful. 70 years to build, and every stone carved by hand.

Well at least 'Dimondgirl/Marlybob' had sense enough not to attempt it with one of these.....

No.
It's to be placed in a shoe on a wedding day. Just buy a cheap half decent example and don't overthink it.

These are available from over here. None 'icky'.

Yup, nowt wrong with that one.

Bargain!
Particularly as the reason for relisting being the final bid of £720 realised last time was considered too low.
Why not tell her you've reconsidered your offer and go lower? In the absence of shill bids it'd be fun to know just how far down she'd go.

Not Marly Bob, but didn't correct the spelling when typing as Bob Marly......
Oh, and WTF is a 'Dimond'? 😉

Apologies, I must've been awol the day the 1921 penny was declared a key date and therefore circulated specimens worth hundreds. I really must try to keep up....

Looking at the bids and feedback scores of the bidders, clearly some are the same as last time, including a suspicious "private" bidder.
Smells decidedly of fish, methinks...
£590 and counting. 34 bids from 5 bidders.

Of course, you're quite right, there were more than one.
I wonder if we'll see this bid up to 8K for a second time?
