Good Fine Mule £875 Any Takers?

I see the mule farthing has decreased in price , at this rate it should fetch the £150 or so it is worth by the time christmas comes along

The 1902 proof set he is selling also looks to have been cleaned. Quite a number of diagonal surface lines on some of the coins. Currently at more than £1200, somebody is in for a shock.

It's my understanding that the mint workers were very helpful in giving the 1902 proof set a good wipe before they left the mint. I don't know how true this is but I have seen a few 1902 proofs with parallel lines.

I have seen more than even quite a few with"Late Mint Stage Preparation Damage"...Most have these stigmata.

I see a much superior mule farthing has appeared for sale on ebay at the same price as the platt coin .Strange thing is even though it is considerably nicer it has less than six watchers and the platt coin had around 24 at the last time i looked.

How can this be the guy has no reputation at all, except for selling overpriced, cleaned rubbish.

You coin collectors are a strange lot.

Or maybe it is being watched by you lot on here looking for shilliing evidence

I've read that too - apparently they didn't care for the idea of matte proofs.

Mine went for £200 at the last LCN sale...similar grade but with a small edge knock....well, more of a flick than a knock really... and they arent that rare in the lower grades....

That's a good price it would not have fetched £100 eight or so years ago
