I assume that the slabbers are much like PCGS etc authenticating the item in question amd probably reading it before slabbing lol

This might be ebays best http://www.ebay.com/itm/311050328393

Instead of a phone camera, why not try a camera instead, and whilst your out, buy some gloves so you can Händle the coins better. Fingerprints are a big NOOOOOOOO. Apart from that, i actually like the coin

Both are the same apart from 1 edge is plain and the other grained

I would be grading it less than GVF, more. VF in my opinion. As for price, well it would depend on how many people would want it and how many are actually out there. How much did the Nicholson one go for?

Information on fake NGC holders which therefor would include the coins inside if you found any http://www.ngccoin.com/news/viewarticle.aspx?IDArticle=954

Ahhh haaaa, so still 10% but now up to £2500 value. Never the less, eBay will hopefully die a death

The cap on the final value fee (the 10% cut you give eBay of the final sale price, including p&p) will rise from £75 to £250. So anyone selling an item worth more than £750 will pay a lot mo Incrementally upto 250 Pounds. I think you just hate Ebay And how much do you think a £750 sale will actually cost you? Bear in mind it WAS £75 then ask yourself how much more expensive that same £750 item is now going to cost to the seller, he's obviously going to increase his price to incorporate the new fees.

Thats still 10%, the fee has increased

Look at post 57 and post 67. FVF capped at 250 GBP, on a 750 Pound coin this would be actually 35%

Hmmmmmmmmmm, MRD, come back in a few months and tell us how it's going. The 25% they're about to Charge sellers is going to hurt and it actually will be costing more than the 20% buying in auction. The only reason i can see for the huge Price increases is due to the fact People are leaving in numbers and those numbers equal loss of Revenue which in turn is why they've increased the charges by so much. Watch this space

They've gave the buyers far to much power and seem to have forgotten who it is exactly that pays their wags (the sellers) As i said above, i hope the next rounds price increases Pisses enough sellers off that if they leave, they'll leave in enough droves that will hurt ebay financially just like they're doing to reputable sellers

Personally now i'll never sell Amy coins on there anymore. If i sell anything it will be an odd here and there item. I really really hope that this next round of price increases Coupled with this paypal BS of 6 month return of items will Drive reputable sellers away from ebay for good

Low cost/low value, surely you mean fakes Peck

Ha, well this basically tells me that ebay is losing custom hand over fist and are making those that are left pay for those who have left. These price hikes will only be another nail in their coffin. Lets be honest here, who the hell is gonna pay or will want to pay a quarter of a coins value just in fees? £250 fee for a £750 coin, sorry but its never going to happen, dealers will be pulling out of there in quick Fashion just shortly.

What a fantastic collection, good to hear that she has an interest in them, hopefully she will add to the collection. Thanks for sharing the images. (they look more gold than copper )And technically most of the coin in this section are new aquisitions which technically are also in the wrong place as there's also a thread for that. Some stunning stuff there Declan, dös she have children, i'm avaliable for adoption

Fancy throwing them up on the forum and lets us have a drool?

They're also not popular coins, i'm with the £100 Brigade, maximum, and even less from a dealer

Is this the old dear who had all that nice Gold Declan? Did she ever sell it? No - it's a different old dear! I've known her for years but she only told me the other day who her Dad was. No idea, of course, how important his collection was. For most of his life, his family didn't even know he collected coins. And no, she's still got the gold - she got quite interested in it after all that. She may even end up buying some more....! She only needs to sell the single most valuable coin and she could afford lots more! I remember! DNW estimated £20-25k for the Sharps-Pixley 1828. Not a collection I'm ever likely to forget going through... Yup, there was some nice coins in there, did you manage to get pictures of it all before she shut up Shop on the idea of selling?

As Peck stated above, not many people will delve into a half bead wider etc.

Hi Cathrine, I think Dave meant "what was it graded as by the seller"? Sorry, yes that was what i meant.

The start of verdigris showing in the REV there, plus the small fingerprint. What was it graded as?
