Sadly not me. But positive feedback has been given, stating a sold price of £11.50.

Oh, what a beaut. Did it really go for £11.50?

That's the stuff that dreams are made of.

No . the bidding was ended early by the seller.  Terry

That is my suspicion. The feedback shows that it did sell, the actual price remains uncertain, but a lot less than if the auction had run I suspect.

In that condition it could have easily run into 4 figures.

It's a mule - beaded border reverse, toothed border obverse.

A very striking example in excellent condition.

I had seen it, put the first bid on it and was watching it for a bid later.  I had not realised you could end an auction with active bids.  It was stopped 5 days early.  There is always the possibility it was a honey trap ....

I do not post in here often but here are a couple of newbies from @PWA 1967 :) I am not happy with my pictures, they look far better in hand.

That's an interesting atypical 1919. The obverse is very shallow (possibly due to a worn die, often seen on 1919H pennies) so giving a good rim on the reverse, and very well struck up head, face and chest of Britannia, which are more often weak than not.

That must be one of those rare coins where both the obverse and reverse are inverted.

And this must be one of those posts that mysteriously repeat themselves for no apparent reason?
