Doesn't seem a price.

Nice coin.

You can see what the hammer price at London coins.

Then you have to pay juice.

Second one is about BU so a no brainer in my book, though I haven't studied the prices. The first one MIGHT be ok - i.e. someone who is utterly clueless about setting the white balance on his camera - but I wouldn't take the chance.

Neil (Colin Cooke) has one in his September list. May have gone now but worth asking him.

Just a thought but since you're collecting by ruler wouldn't 1887 be the better option? Actually a quick scan of the 1887s listed on eBay and am not endeared to any of them but generally should be able to pick a nice one up cheaper than the 1888.

I dealt with the seller of the second coin before and he's alright and good descriptions.

Incidentally I have no idea what's going on here. :wacko:

The price reflects the expenditure incurred on sun-tan lotion. ;)

Easy when you know.

I collect a bit of everything.

My idea of getting one coin of each ruler is just a part of it:)

1888 half crown is my girlfriends birthday +100:)

Probably hoping for an American to say it's the finest rainbow toned version known :D

The last woman I had any interest in made casual references to Jimmy Choos and wasn't the slightest bit interested in coins so you're doing well there ;)
