This seller is starting to get on my nerves again with the prices .

He has a standard 1895 that is worth £100 maximum currently at £320 with twenty three bids .

Good luck to him but cant understand people bidding so high on a MS 64 common coin.

Teach me to read the description properly ,the low tide through me rather than 2 MM

Pardon my ignorance, but the low tide and 2MM are one and the same innit?

[PWA 1967 1,841]

Yes and thats what i meant by should of read the description 

The picture of the slab didnt mention 2 MM.

I assume as you have not posted before the coin was yours and i apologise.

No I am not the seller, just keen to clear the confusion. Your response makes sense to me now. Thanks and have a nice day.

Think as far as collecting coins goes this is probably the daftest thing i have ever heard that people will pay more for the lowest grade possible 

Suddenly my collection seems a whole lot more interesting.

You're not the only one.

Its just daft ,although finding a really worn 1967 Penny is probably really hard 

As far as your coins Jon they are spot on so not for you to slab and sell them as RANG

I bet there's someone out there who's been carrying a 1967 penny in with his change since...oo...about 1967. 

And not all of my coins, obviously. I got a few from you.

Considering the amount of wear, it's surprisingly good! Good edges & no nicks, dings or scratches.

That's because they have all been worn flat long ago. Rather worryingly, it appears to have been lovingly cared for during the past 70 or 80 years. I know a nice man with a large pot who would love to get his hands on that..................and he'd pay you for it.

Tell him he can have it for five quid.

It has either been chemically cleaned, or bead blasted with plastic beads. Either treatment will leave that "flat, matt like surface. It has been a nice coin, but must have had some issues.
