I just this very minute looked at this Swesish sellers website and would have snapped it up if it had been, but its not

Did I read somewhere that Heritage won't take consignment under $5000.Correct. An elitetest auction house, yet they don't bother who buys, only with what they sell because they require much Commission

Where to sell it is up for discussion. I'm hoping it's a £200 but £20-30 on ebay definitly would be a loss.A BIN would be better or a Reserve placed on it

Curious question, but why sell through Londoncoins? Surely the Commission etc will leave you in negative? Or are you hoping its a £300-£500 coin? The 2nd thing is, in submitting, i'm assuming you've stated where it came from, thus giving CGS an easy £30 fee as they can then go look it up and assign the grade that was already given. I would have personally not mentioned it and wasted too see where they were with grade

Lol, Shetland being part of England is like saying Mexico is part of the USA

Just noticed that when selling an item for say 8.99 on fleabay that instead of it costing you the obligatory 89p (10%) they are now charding 90p, so in effect, rounding up.

Same goes for sportsmen AC, Lewis Hamilton for example. When you earn millions a year you don't want to pay such silly things such as tax, just google it with your starbucks coffee $$$$ you like what i did there?

You'll need a Visa AC I'm suddenly all in favour of an independent Scotland! I've got a Visa Debit, can I buy cheap single malt with that? Lol, we might not Take English currency

If Scotland were to become a member of the EU automatically then I'd agree with you. However, if Barosso is right and Scotland's accession were delayed by the average of around 8 years or so, or didn't manage to gain access for some reasons, then the border between Scotland and England would become a border between the EU and the rest of the world. That would surely bring all the controls associated with an international border i.e. border controls, customs etc. Maybe, but we'll all know where to go for our duty-free whisky! You'll need a Visa AC Visa cost: 6,000 McPooonds…. Or about 20p in English money. I don't really know if you realise this AC but Scotland actually has its own currency and its pounds, the same pound as England, except England does'nt Take our notes, come the reveloution my friend

Correct, just like America and China who also Trade with the EU, so as i said, i can only see obstacles being put in front of an Independent Scotland during the run up. Will be nice to become a Dubai type oasis with all our oil reserves, wonder how much an Independent Scotland would charge England for some of the Black stuff, bespring in mind we won't be part of the EU at that point

Elmbridge, not a good example of the UK tax buden Nick The wealthy district of Elmbridge in Surrey, just off the M25, paid more in tax in 2010/11 than Google did – 200 times more. This leafy haven for high-net-worth individuals – Gary Lineker and Cliff Richard live there – paid a total of £1.18bn in income tax, which is more than the city of Glasgow. That works out to about £16,100 in tax per resident, much higher than the British average of £4,300. The growing number of rich celebs colonising the area have earned Elmbridge the nickname "the Beverly Hills of Britain", but how does it compare with its California counterpart? Elmbridge, Surrey Type of entity: local-government district with borough status; shares a border with Greater London. Population: 131,400. Area: 37.2 sq miles. History: the area appears in the Domesday book (1086) as Amelebridge. The district was created in 1972. House price (average): £623,576. Famous residents: Jamie Redknapp, Ringo Starr, Elton John, Chris Tarrant, Shilpa Shetty, Ronnie Wood, Jenson Button. Annual events: "Noise Action Week. The Elmbridge Borough Council Environmental Services Team is currently highlighting noise issues and promoting a range of practical solutions. Twinned with: nothing. Recycling batteries: household batteries can be put in the collection bin in reception at the community centre in Esher.

No Peter, they'll be footballers

That would surely bring all the controls associated with an international border i.e. border controls, customs etc.Why the Rest of the World? Do we stop trading on a worldwide scale if we're not in the EU. Thats quite a Statement to make

I believe there are borders still in EU countries regardless of what member States say, so it should'nt be a biggie between Scotland and England

Yes it would work both ways but there are only 400,000 people born in England living in Scotland against 800,000 born in Scotland living in England. So they know where you are. So I guess when your passport runs out , it does record where you were born, you would either apply for a Scottish passport or take the English test and pay your £800 for a UK passport.I think mine has 10 years to run, we should be back in the EU by then this saving me the £800

Just a curious question Gary regarding the EU thing, how would you identify someone who is Scottish working in Englamd or elsewhere inside the EU? I for instance have a British Passport, it has a fair amount of years to run before it Runs out, but the same problems would therefor Apply to English persons working in Scotland would it not? Lol

AC there are no rich Scotsmen living in Germany, only rich old Germans from old German Geld, they tax me to much for me to be rich

I'm with you there Dave, but for me it's the Tory b******s in the Home Counties who should declare independence and leave the rest of the UK to everyone else including the Scots. Your part of the UK would be a bit short of income if they did. Elmbridge in Surrey (£1.18bn) alone pays more income tax than Glasgow (£898m), Sheffield (£812m), Aberdeen (£728m), Cardiff (£589m) and Newcastle (£443m). But this will be why elmbridge surrey pay more tax http://www.theguardian.com/money/shortcuts/2013/may/20/elmbridge-surrey-britains-beverly-hillsIf you want to Tell a story Nick, tell it all and not just the bits to suit the subject. There's also the strange point that Cardiff have a population 346,000 and Newcastle 265,000 yet aberdeen with a much smaller population of 220,000 pay wayyyyyy much more than those 2 cities. Strange that eh Sheffield also has 551,000 population, so Aberdeen again is paying more than this city

Elmbridge in Surrey may have more population, Scotland has a mere 5 million population. The same said elmbridge may have many rich residents compared to the millionaires that reside in Scotland. Bear in mind how much Scotland pays in oil tax. If this was taken into account and it did'nt head into the Westminster coffers then we'd probably be paying more than the UK put together.AC, i mean we as i'm Scottish, whether i can or cannot vote. Being able to vote or not does not determine who i am. oOh and if we combined Aberdeen and Glasgow the combined tax would be more than Elmbridge. 1.6 Billion or so. Wonder how mamy people live in Elmbridge Surrey who work as Stockbrokers or Play Professional Football or who own 1 million pound plus houses. Lets keep it into perspective

A coin with that amount of wear will obviously already weigh less, but there certainly looks to be something under there. Curious question, but why straight away say it must be counterfeit? Is'nt it possible for a currency coin to be overstruck?

You can't pay a national debt when you don't use the currency. As for Salmond, he's just a staunch Nationalist and i think he's getting pretty pissed off with all the scaremongering by Westminster. I shall be gutted if we lose, having to go cap in Hand to those Tory *******s who are already licking the cream from the bowl and greasing their friends Palms makes me sick to the stomach

Love it. The scare tatics don't seem to be working much http://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/top-stories/scottish-independence-salmond-gives-debt-warning-1-3305302

This is the only Matte i have, it's the halfcrown EDVII. On a mission now to find a crown that looks as good as the above coin from Paulus
