Nice little silk cushion for display purposes, though...bet he doesn't include that with the purchase!

His most recent feedback isn't too inspiring either:

"reported them to ebay as possible scam. Never got item and they didn't refund"

Gotta love 'em! :D

Personally, I think people should avoid this as it is the 10 leaf version and not the 11. Therefore not extremely rare and not worth............ how much? He's avin a larf

Possibly a bit later? 80s and into the 90s. Bullseye on ITV - how we spent our Sunday afternoons before the World Wide Web and Sky Sports :D Jim Bowen was a bit of a legend in his own lunch-hour.

This is being optimistically ended on Christmas Day, is this one really a Richard III? (i'm not suggesting it isn't, I know nothing about these!)

There's some skill in that coin, a shame (in some respects) to have got it so wrong!

Not a shame that eBay listened, though. Listing is gone.

Half a sixpence, is better than 'arf a penny...

161173535356

It needs a bit of a clean, apparently, and don't bother making a BIN offer, thank-you!

You may consider offering a BIN however! :)

And if at first you don't succeed, try, try, again! 161182357437

Anyone else having problems with Ebay Search?

Untitled-1-2.jpg

Ebay wont let me save any search, even though I've deleted all my old ones - I'm using Firefox 25.0.1?

You could try clearing your browser cache but this looks like eBay's problem.

You have cleared out your searches but they still register with eBay.

Maybe log out from eBay then back in again.

Else I suspect that the problem will right itself when eBay restart their servers, but you could send them an email if you like.

cheers Garrett.
