The shipping details seem like a minor consideration for a coin of this value. If the seller will not ship at his cost from the US to the UK, he's not serious about marketing his offering.If you're serious about acquiring this specimen, you will negotiate some mutually satisfactory terms.

If anyone wants one and perhaps wants to compare with another Colin Cooke have one for sale .

Its on the cover of the new list next week.

It's a bit weird anyway. If you look at the seller's other items they are flagged up as follows:-

"$18.40 International Priority Shipping to United Kingdom via the Global Shipping program" 

So it's a bit of a mystery why this particular coin should be causing a problem, unless it's something to do with the high price and the insurance. The only option is to contact the vendor directly and ask what the issue is.

The early bird etc, I'm pleased Pete doesn't collect silver (yet!)

If they use the global shipping programme then be aware of the huge import charges eBay charge on those items, at a guess this would cost another $350 just for the import alone

A nice surprise earlier today, thought I'd do a quick check on the newly listed and this was the newest listing -

£3.25 BIN with free postage to Spain, bonus!

[jacinbox 36]

Wow a very nice find.

[Nordle11 564]

Thanks Jac. I've just been told that this seller sometimes re-uses photos, so we shall see what actually turns up

[secret santa 2,016]

That's a REAL bargain Matt !

Hope not, but I had a run in with him a while back for a dodgy description, he blocked my attempt to buy this one today. Fingers crossed for you

Jesus, blink and you'll miss it. I think it had had 3 or 4 views on the counter when I bought it, you must've searched just as it was listed!

I'll report back when it gets here, sorry he blocked you're attempt

Well I already knew this wasn't turning up as I'd been told it's already in another member's hands  alas I received a normal 1946 this morning.

At least it's in a good home-

[secret santa 2,016]

That's naughty - name that duplicitous dealer Matt !

For duplicitous read fraudulent, yes, name and shame!

[PWA 1967 1,841]

Good your keeping a smile Matt i would of been pissed off.

As i mentioned to you i bought one for a £1 you can see it on compleated listings and was sent a normal one.

However not anywere near as good as yours.

The red light was from memory he had sold the same coin and used the same picture a couple of days before.

[1949threepence 3,366]

Tough call, Matt. I agree with the others, name and shame this bounder.  

[Nick 325]

Or report him to eBay.  That'll have him quaking in his boots.

[PWA 1967 1,841]

I am not sure its done deliberately Mike as we are only talking a couple of pound.

Its just they cant be bothered taking pictures of every coin so just use the same one.

Hundreds of dealers on ebay listing 1961-67 pennies as just keep selling them.

It probably isn't, Pete, but it is careless and ultimately a misrepresentation of fact. Above all it's irritating - however, as it's such a tiny amount of money, no harm done. I was half joking about naming the seller, that's why I used the old fashioned term "bounder".
