Yep, definitely the same coin, right down to the  reverse fingerprint. Pure scam - note the "seller's" feedback count, nil.

Honestly, i have no idea what your talking about lmao. But if he rings i’ll be sure to answer. 

have a nice day.

I've notified the Vatican. If the Pope rings don't hang up, it's not a scam

Honestly this is a miracle. My father works with scrap cars and brings back a ton of old coins. I was looking through them out of curiosity and began to google some of them and boom, I discovered a rare coin had teleported itself to my sofa.

ME

That same coin is for sale on JN coins, must be a miracle that it has teleported itself to your sofa LOL

I didn't think you were allowed to sell wives on Ebay:

"RS Job Lot , Flat Nose , Snipe Nose , Cutter , Screwdriver , Wench ,. Some as new not used , Wench has been used , see photos, Dispatched with Royal Mail 2nd Class."

How "used" is the Wench?

At least it has now been removed.

Most of the other items are school books and so I guess the person is either a parent or a kid. What a crazy and reckless thing to do. You have done a good deed and saved him or her from getting into some serious trouble.

Why would anyone who claims to know nothing about coins find one in a slab lying around the house? You might find a loose coin here and there, even if the coin in question is stretching things a bit, but not a slab. I suspect he genuinely knows nothing about coins, or would have realised the incongruity of what he is saying.

"Extremely rare and more so in this very high grade."

The "and more so" should be omitted, then it would be true.

It could be a 'She' Rob

This offering from the same seller made me titter

I'm sure it would stretch to a 16 or an 18 too if you put your mind to it.

"Worn only for these photographs"...perhaps that's how the stretching was discovered...

Though I see now the header has been altered to include the word 'half', and the reverse photo swapped for one of a worn 1926 half penny, which I assume is the actual 'extremely rare' coin found lying around the house.

Maybe it is a woman in that case.

Not sure it would stretch to 16 or 18 - it's managing all of 2 at the moment.

Another way of putting it is that over half of those graded by PCGS (9 out of 16) is of the same grade or higher.

Yes Diaconis, if ever proof were needed of TPG being such a daft concept these listings surely serve. 175 quid + delivery for a 1966 half crown because, er, it's the fourth best example which has passed across some bloke's desk? It's the poor saps led to believe they're investing in something which will retain, or even accrue, value I feel for.

In a drawer to my left there's one of those old red card bank rolls containing 50 mint 1967 half pennies. I can't be bothered having them slabbed myself but if anyone here would want to do it the entire roll is yours for a thousand pounds.

No?

Oh, all right then, you've a lucky face, two thousand pounds.

5p?

Come on, you're killing me here.

10p?

No, no, NO! I can't be pushed any further, you're stealing the food from my children's mouths.

11p?

Oh, alright, I know I'll regret it tomorrow, three thousand pounds, but that's my last offer. Final. No more.

12p?

Oh, you people, call yourselves coin collectors?  Go back to your Franklin Mint plates, and cabbage patch dolls, you don't know what you're talking about….
