Someone else spotted an unattributed Gouby X

[declanwmagee 122]

Serves me right for making some varieties more well known.

I only put a speculative £30 bid in, because I wasn't 100% sure, but it seems that someone else spotted an unattributed Gouby X.

Cleaned, but all the same an absolute steal to whoever else spotted it.

Anyone here the guilty party?

I know that feeling, list varieties of encased farthings that I used to get for anything between £1 and £5, they now regularly sell for £20-30 each...one sold yesterday for £70 and another recently jumped above £150!!!

Perhaps I should have collected a few more first

I think you may of saved yourself a few quid.

The seller used the same image for different years and doubt the picture of the obverse was 1911.

It certainly was not a 1911 obverse as it has the small head portrait found on 1928 to 1936 coins . Terry

Precisely...

It's just wonderfull when only one side is shown, especially when it's not showing the date...

I really dislike the use of stock pictures in certain catagories, especially coins, stamps, and other collectables....

I know!  I was so hung up on border beads I didn't even notice it was the small head.  What a twit.  I suddenly felt £30 richer, but someone's not going to be happy - they obviously thought the same as me...

If you could let me know of anyone who hasn't been duped on ebay..I think it would be a very short list.

Lets face facts we are all greedy and want a bargain.Dodging a bullet is good though.

I saw it and assumed that it was a Half Penny reverse so pass on. But as you say it's the later small head.

I am curious to see what feedback will be left .

There's always the remote chance it was the correct coin with the wrong images posted.....

Happened to me once.....

Made purchase based on the description. Looking at images was clearly 2 different coins......

A Long shot, but it happens....
