  1. I think it was for £3.20! . I wouldn't even buy one because I have about ten at home! I think the only reason it went for so much was because it was slabbed and graded.
  2. Exactly, the descriptions are often vague. You can definately tell who are the dealers who are selling on Ebay because of the accurate and lengthy descriptions they give. Also, I saw a 1967 half penny slabbed the other day on Ebay! It was MS64 RED. I guess the owner thought that the coin was worth quite a large amount of money.
  3. I would only get my coins graded if they were really rare or really valuable. Otherwise, it is just too expensive. I don't mind buying slabbed coins though because they give me an accurate valuation.
  4. It is a recipe for false descriptions. Before anyone lists any sort of coin on Ebay, they should do some thourough research to determine which grade and variety it is.
  5. We don't know that he doesn't have an Ebay account though do we and that he isn't an experianced Ebayer.
  6. I have seen proof sets for sale at £700+ on Ebay and from dealers. Personally, I would wait until I get a second opinion from someone on this forum which won't take very long I HOPE. When we give you your valuation and you wanted to sell them then I would sell them through Ebay.
  7. First of all, the coins are all measured in ounces. You need to find the total number of ounces of gold in the set and then multiply that by the price og gold per ounce. Proof sets are usually worth a bit more than the value of the gold. I don't have the value avaliable right now, but someone else on here might?
  8. Sorry, I am merely stating that there some aspects of enamelled coins that appeal to me, and there are some which don't.
  9. Oli's right there are quite a few ones from the 19th century. I fact, the majority that I have seen come from the 19th century.
  10. I agree, however, there are people who collect enamelled coins and I respect their interest.
  11. I can see that. However, I just cannot see the appeal with them. I guess different people have different interests.
  12. He has not updated the half pennies yet!
  13. What other pictues have you used so far?
  14. I am very pleased that I bought them. They may not be perfect but they are in the grade that I am looking for. My faviorite will be the 1934 one for sure. I was very surprised to see one in such high grade, and at the right price!
  15. I hate them too! They just seem so ugly to me.
  16. I don't know why the seller has such low 'buy it now prices'. I know that Chris bought a 1925OH BU half penny from him for a very low amount!
  17. I really need that 1934 one. It is rarer than people think you know.
  18. You have got to see this: My Webpage This is described as the Ext. rare mule of beaded/toothed borders!
  19. I have just bought the following half pennies. They will help me a lot in completing my date run! Half Penny 1 Half Penny 2 Half Penny 3 What do you lot think?
  20. Excellent, Thank's Chris. A part of my collection will be famous! And yes, you have my permission!
  21. Great solution Oli, when in doubt, just google! (600th post)
  22. Sound's nice. I'll keep my eyes open for any Gibraltarian £1's.
  23. If he uses the picture of the 1903 BU half penny that I bought, then people will be envious of my collection too!
  24. I have not seen one either. I have seen most of the other denominations from my change. I do like the designs on them.
  25. Thank's Colin if you ever come on here. I see you are making good progress with the book Chris. Have you done the 1900-1936 half pennies yet because I would like to know the values in advance (if possible) .
