Problem is, if the Word spreads, which i'm sure it will, it may potentially have a knock on effect for stalls at coins fairs

Oh ffs!!! Anything for a dollar

Wow did'nt realise he was followed. I'm assuming he stopped for a Break somewhere and his Car robbed, is that correct? Still, a scary situation that someone is actually following you with the intention to rob. This has to be a rob to order job surely

As Paul says. Pieces of 8 are/were Spanish 8 Reales, i like those, especially the Pillar ones (the Design of 2 Pillars) which ended about 1765-69 ish. Look them up, a nice coin to own but beware of forgeries

A good example of something similar is Lord Stewartby's collection. Stolen from his house when he happened to have them there briefly for cataloguing and never seen again. The most important private collection of Scottish coins disappears either to be melted down or, more likely, to be in somebody else's collection. Yes and he was going to donate these to the Scottish Museum

To be honest Derek, i COULD see that happening. Its a cut throat business and i'm sure a bit of jealousy can creep in amoung dealers

I make the total value is £17,630 so I'm not sure where the £50k figure I was told came from... 17k is still a hefty amount in anyones eyes, plus its his job/stock

I think maybe it was that the coins are below £1000 sale price. But yeah, I can believe £50,000 worth. I've noted 36 Charles I shillings alone amongst those lost.The worry is if they aren't found soon they will just be melted. I'm sure they must be insured. But the numismatic loss .. I only hope whoever has Stolen the coins knows that they have value and hopefully can be traced at some point. You have to wonder if Lloyd was maybe a known dealer to the thieves, if thats the case then i doubt they'd be melted

There's certainly more than Neils £1000 estimate been stolen. The 1st 4 coins ran to £1400, so i'm assuming the value is much higher than whats on the BNTA Website

Well i suppose you have to be thankful it was'nt 50k worth, i would have been crying for days at losing that sort of stock. Hope the police catch them soon.

Agreed, the REVs of These were always poorly struck. Yours is a nice REV Paul, why are you selling that one?

All we have is the seller's photo, so unless a forum member shelled out the $770 we'll never knowWe can always go back and check for Feedback in a few weeks to see if anyone knows the buyer

Obverse isn't even EF, reverse is better though.Cleaned/dipped perhaps also

Apparently this is almost mint state http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360757215132?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D360757215132%26_rdc%3D1 State yes, mint state, definately not

I often wonder myself how often we have bidded against each other in various auctions. Whats your ebay name Peter? You can PM if you don't wish to divulge

Some people have to much time and money on their hands. Why split two 10ps

Sturat is safe, my Head has been turned in another direction. Rob and Tom, you both should talk because i'm definately not after the same as you both and might even leave it altogether as Richard has shown me something else plus i need a few beans for my visitation to the motherland in November.

Hopefully Stuart is'nt resting on his laurels either as i've taken a shine to a Lizzie to

They're just worried that they get it wrong, although its quite conclusive to me and the rest of us

I hope it's not the same one as me

I think you are right about the 6/8 Penny Colin. They just don't become available that often. I have been thinking about a offer on it my self. BTW...the 1877 Narrow date now resides in Great Britain! Ha,Ha! No wonder you made a trip around the British Isles. I hope you brought it with you to save the hefty tax bill that e buyer would incur lol

They are all slightly different, but behave in a similar fashion. I've just tried it with Firefox (v24.0) and I can "Save Image As..." by right clicking the image (when expanded). Me to

Invoice finally arrived and now paid. That took some time though

This is the coin that disappeared. How do you copy or save the image on these listings? Right clicking doesn't give copy as an option and I need these images for my records. Thanks.Click the sellers image Rob until it displays in its own screen, then right click and save. Wonder of we'll see that coin again.

It's absolutely pointless. As I explained. Most of the coins have a reserve but there is'nt enough people bidding to hit the reserve. When I emailed the seller of one coin 2 months ago, we'll lets just say I'm STILL awaiting his reply
