It would be quite fun to 'buy' it on ebay and then fail to pay, leaving the seller with a bill of 10% i.e. £152,100 for the ebay fees. Now that would be adding to the Greek debt crisis!! Joking aside (am I?), it looks to me as if this is either a counterfeit (the Jubilee head looks a bit rough) or this is a marriage of a hollowed out Jubilee head coin with an inserted George V 1918 reverse - looks like the India mintmark to me. Can I see a rather sharp looking line around the inner rim on the reverse? Taking a second look at the close up, there seems to be some white metal showing through in places, which possibly means its a fake, maybe like the ones I found a few years ago, which I reckon were made from depleted Uranium to give the correct weight. The 10% only applies to the 1st 750, so it would only cost $75 £75

I think he's probably in a straight jacket by now, numpty

No, I didn't update it, when's 6.1 out, Dave, do you know? My eBay app's up-to-date though??? Really annoying! Don't know when its out Stuart, but Apple knows there was a lot of problems with it, might be a few weeks or longer

Did you Update to os6? Lots of problems, perhaps the eBay app also had a problem. I have'nt updated yet, waiting for 6.1 before doing so

No problems to report here Stuart with email replies

Living in the middle of a 200 acre estate he probably thought he did'nt need it.........Mannnnn what a huge loss this is

Another interesting one from China http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180982201067?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D180982201067%26_rdc%3D1

She's a seller after your own heart Dave - "I have to of these" Lol, i emailed and asked if she'd give ME a quid two Take it off her hands :-D I sent her a message saying it's what "we in the trade call a washer" and that even her starting price of 99p overvalues it

Hahahaha, i love his description of value:

Bear in mind Gary, baldwins had 3 sales last week so they will be busy and may Take a week to get your invoice Special delivery plus a little bit for packaging. £10 in the odd hundred or thousand or two won't break the bank. I won a lot at the Baldwins auction last week via the Saleroom. What happens now? Do I get an invoice though the post or by email etc.?

Most of My invoices have come by email, i then Phone them to Pay. Regarding postage, some auction houses use 3rd Party carriers and they basically Charge what they want. I've had postage costs ranging from £10 to £25 in extreme cases and thats only for coins shipped inside the UK and not to me in Germany.

As wirh an eBay snipe Never Show your hand until later. Bidding Can be fast and furious and may well go past what you are prepared to pay anyway, if it does'nt and it slows down thats when i jump in. There is also on a majority of theae auctions a 3% surcharge for bidding live with the Saleroom

This dipped one from our friend in Truro is apparently AU 120992222929

That looks great, Numidan! The only thing that sprung to mind was how strike weakness could be factored into the equation? Superb idea though, which for the main part could work! At the end of the day a grade's a grade! Bag marks, edge knocks, etc, only affect appeal, and consequently value! Would be a very good start to get the grade right! I'm still trying to work out what the diagrams are of I'm assuming of something that someone could use in grading terms. -5 being good and -50 poor etc. I thought Derek Riley brought out a book for such requirements? Grading is always going to be subjective, no matter how we all think, we've seen it so MANNNNNNY times on this forum where we as experienced collectors do not agree, so we should basically pass that subject by and work on the rest.

Maybe Rob won it, he can sell you it for £200

Not a fooking sausage. Estimate of the lot i was watching was £300-£400, opening bid £740

Some dope has bidded it up to £51 lol

So how many of us are having a dabble? Will be interesting to see how we do with our respective wants. I have a bid on one lot but will obviously tell you Thursday

Yes, but opening in which direction? Too far South. The Antonine Wall would be a better bet Where you will be stood against with blindfold come the revolution There once was an angry young Scot Who said "You are gonna be shot" He took a wee dram That he found in his pram And his aim went completely to pot Lol.........cheeky arse
