I don't know who was the buyer, but Martin Platt was the seller (azda's best friend! Ha,Ha). Decent example, and well worth the price, despite the scrub marks on the reverse.

Ha ha Boab, i bet he's fizzing because his eBay blurb states Coin Year Book suggests £2300 in EF so am guessing he was aiming/hoping for the upper end, obviously buyers are most aware of our man Flint these days, i'm very proud, i feel like a new father, well done eBay, although he could have bought it himself 

 

I hear he does the same shite on Facebook these days..........The book states millions in EF and the likes

He's also got a little coterie of fawning followers who hang on his every condescending word. Not good. 

With that said, the 1849 is an absolute bargain given it's overall excellent condition. If I'd realised it was up for auction, I don't know about "Our Man Flint", but I'd certainly have been "In Like Flint".

If you think it's a bargain then he's probably picked this up for more than he's sold it for, as we now know, he pays the same price as every other mortal and then overgrades and does the other usual practise in order to make a profit, so he's either bought it himself or made a loss

I've no idea how he got it, what he got it for, or what he paid for it. But it is what it is - an 1849 penny in pretty good nick, again his grading is irrelevant. I make my own grading. Well worth £770.

I'd bet he's sold at a loss.
