You can still pay by cheque, but that's up to the buyer. Personaly I always favour PayPal as I can use my credit card. As a very occassional seller I find ebay not the place to sell varieties as the average ebay buyer is not that suffisticated, auctions are a better venue for that type of coins Gary Although, rare coin types have sold on ebay, the LCW under foot Penny late last year, sold for near 1000GBP also an 1849 Penny, 1250 quid, so there are intelligent ebayers out there, perhaps just very choosy

Lol, look again Derek, my above post, he has since corrected his mistake Don't go thinking you can wriggle out of the beers so easily.... Lol, i believe its you who owes me a beer 400

Fork handles, nah nah nah, i Said Four candles, lol Ronnie Barker, an absolute Comic God

Lol, look again Derek, my above post, he has since corrected his mistake

DaveG My starting price was 1 pound, 36 pound on a 360 sale is 10% then 14 pound on the PP fee so all in all about 14%. but what i resent is that they Force PP in people

Somebody should come up with a UK auction site just for coins and Charge a Flat fee of say between 3 and 5% of the Final selig Value. Its clear to me that eBay Must make an absolute fortune just from coins alone. There is so many good knowledgable People ob this Forum with many various contacts that surely a coin auction only website is sure to Be a winner, Why let eBay screw every last Penny of profit from what Little there already is in a coin. A Flat fee Sounds Way better than all the hissen BS that ebays puts out

Well it seems in Michaels rush that he did get the REV wrong he thought this was a Wide date 1874H and Since sent me an Email apologising and corrected his mistake, it is in fact F68 6+H

To Be honest Huss i thought the OBV looked a bit suspect but its a decent grade. I think i uploaded a picture last Week in coin Aquisition of the week.

Just 1 quick question on the REV of the 1st picture. Why is the rim silver, has it been filed? The 2nd picture REV also looks the same but the 3rd has the copper look on the rim. Is it the scan or does it look like that?

I sent a picture off to Michael Gouby yesterday regarding the 1874H i purchased last week, here's his reply. That would make it Freemans 69 dies 6+I Hi David, Thank you for your email. I have looked at you pictures and it does appear to be BP 1874 J (J + h). In my book I list that I know of 9 plus examples. Yours would probably make that 10 or 11 plus examples known. From your pictures it looks like the coin has been chemically cleaned (it has that fake lustre- a pinky, yellow look) is that the colour because of the way the picture was taken or is the coin really that colour ? All the best Michael

The 1st compared to the 3rd is completely different, lighthouse, date width and shield, the tridet on the 1st is also much closer to the rim than it is in the 3rd

And the date widths

I have 3 1861 Pennies now and i just thought i'd show some of the variations of the lighthouse and rocks plus date width for the members. Notice that on 1 of the pennies that the sea does NOT cross the linear line and on the other the lighthouse base curves differently. Anyone else with an 1861 that varies from these please feel free to add. I believe its always good to educate

Bought for a few dollars in the USA sold for 360GBP so a few schekles profit, but hell ebay don't half take their cut, 36 quid in all for sellers fees ebay seem to be wringing every last ounce of fun and penny out of the whole thing these days. P.s, it was a dealer who bought it Pss, i actually bought it in EF+ grade, but after seeing it didn't think so, hence i dropped the grade Forgot to add, paypal took 14 quid to, so thats 50 quid all in all, freaking joke

ColinG is the man for Access, he actually created an excellent database for his collection and sent me a blank to play with, unfortunately my knowledge of Access is zero and struggled trying to work with it. Colin uploaded a screenshot of his database in coin aquisition of the week a few months back, so take a scroll through some of the pages and see if you can find it, it look really good but it lost me unfortunately

The both have arrived and in coin aquisition of the week. The 1861 does have a weak signature under the shield

A very nice purchase there Palves

This is what i don't understand about the society in the UK anymore. Why do these 2 arseholes have to get involved in something that had nothing to do with them in the first place, then nearly kill someone for it. Glad i moved, as i've said before, the UK has gone pear shaped, i even read the other day that they have reduced police car patrolling due to petrol prices. Then they want to close some jails, Britain and its sentencing and jails are just a freaking joke, no wonder people commit serious crimes these days, it just means they can live in comfort for a few years, just to be released and commit more crime, unbelievable. Then they are paying immigrants who commit crime to go back home, JUST FREAKING DEPORT THEM!!!!!!!

Still waiting on the pair, hoping they come today, if not, then tomorrow ( i hope )

It's 6 + H. Still scarce and worth quite a bit in that condition. 6+H = R13 didn't realise this was so scarce

Just take yourself to Scotland Bob, best place in Britain

added, so had davidrj and bob

12 pints 400, you'd be anemic by the time you got to scotlands border

Will just have to wait till it comes i suppose, seller posted today, so a few days to wait
