Did they use Spinking shears?

I shrub off all your comments.

Can't we just leaf it be???

Personally I prefer a ha-ha, buts that’s just my view. Or is that too subtle? Jerry

Stop all this nonsense about hedges.....a good fence will soon sort out the gold.

Look at the sellers name!!!!!! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-1p-OLD-one-penny-1971-coin-uk-sterling-EXTREMELY-Rare/163924210633?hash=item262aa4f3c9:g:1EkAAOSwJ6JdgiNt

It really depends what you're collecting. For post-1816 I'd agree with most of the above but for earlier milled and hammered my impression is that F coins have done reasonably well and VF's a bit better. It's taken me 20+ years (before then I didn't worry about grades at all) even to eliminate, with one exception, the words Poor, Fair and VG from my collection! I'd never collect much above VF anyway as part of the fun is imagining the coins having circulated/used by people hundreds of years ago.

There's not going to be too many customers with that sales pitch. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GB-Lucky-Penny-Pre-Decimal-1911-George-V-Coin-suit-Birthday-Anniversary/383238821157?hash=item593ad05525:g:Rq8AAOSwAPlXgL4n

At least he’s up front about it.😂

Didn't Wilfred Brambell say that?

If so, let's hope they don't shrub each other up the wrong way

With no beating around the bush - or possibly just a privet arrangement between friends.

Maybe they are someone's hedge fund.
