Somehow i'm tempted...

i hope that the colour inversion he's got on there and that's not the real colour of the coin...

I dunno what he means by 'wonderful condition' but i guess he means as 'wonderful' considering it as a wreck find... which i am inclined to agree

i think it may be a good buy, but it is a bit 'green/blue' coloured...and seeing this:

That's half the appeal... treasure/wreck/archaeology

Much more so trhan the coin, but it does so appear that the coin is the right denomination, right time period and in better condition than mine (that's if it's not green) it's just the price i'm a bit concerned about, it'snot like these things are rare... :rolleyes:

...if i were you then i would see how much the price gets too when there is 10 mins left...if more then £30 then leave it ;)

£30 sound about right, wouldn't go much over. (i'll probably forget to look till it's over), i will do some research on this wreck though just to make sure the bloke's got his facts right, (and not made it up! does happen you know, some of these 'shpiwreck coins' have nothing to do with a shipwreck at all, just inventive selling).

And as it happens i do have an A-Level in archaeology. :D (nearly did it as a degree too, but proffessional archis don't get paid much, if they can even find steady employment).

I got a magazine through from either the company you love-to-hate, Westminster or the Mint selling Chinese porcelain from a shipwreck. on second thought it sounds more Westminsterish than the Mint :P They werre selling saucers and cups and little figurines for hundreds of pounds. Absolute rubbish......

I know Footandankle very well. He's a Dr in the Lake district. Good customer of mine for both coins and accessories.
