More details here. I have to say that I quite like it. Well done that 15 year old schoolboy.

Love the under bidder 97% bids with the seller out of 576 bids in the last month Looks like protection bidding to ensure a minimum sale price is achieved. But don't worry, eBay have "sophisticated" systems in place to catch this sort of thing.

I'd be very surprised if eBay do anything about it.

I like the line stating you should avoid 1866 and 1871 halfcrowns, as these are forgeries. OK, thanks for the info..Quoting his eBay blurb here "Victoria's Half Crowns were struck from 1839 to 1901, none were struck between 1851 and 1873 because of the striking of the new decimal coin the Florin which was struck in its place. " Since when did decimalisation come into effect between 1851 and 1873? The florin was so-called a decimal coin, because it was a tenth of a pound.

Presuming that you are interested in the silver One Rupee coins after the East India Company issues then the first date will be 1862. The last year issued was 1947 and that was struck in Nickel. I don't know which dates are key, but 1915 Bombay, 1921 and 1922 are fairly low mintages.

In Victoria's reign there were only crowns minted for circulation in 1844, 1845, 1847 and 1887-1900. There were also proof crowns struck in 1839, 1853, 1887 and 1893.

Not sure I agree. The three marks look just the right width and distance apart to have been caused by a direct edge to face collision between two halfcrowns. Either way though, it's definitely not worth £1,350.

Is he not? I keep seeing him in the list of online users and according to the forum he was last active 17 minutes ago.

I looked at both pictures and nothing registered as unusual. My brain was fixated on grade, rather than the king's effigy itself.

It won't be long before you're "Almost a piece of furniture", or something like that. -
Royal Mint 2015 Sovereign from £110?
Nick replied to Colin88's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Having looked at the Royal Mint website, it seems that the £110 refers to the proof Quarter Sovereign. The Half Sovereign is £190 and the Sovereign is £360. There are also bullion versions that are a bit cheaper, but not that much. -

Noble sale 108 - March 24-26
Nick replied to Garrett's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I suspect the Skipton Castle Collection on Heritage will be more to your liking, VS. However, given the number of MS 65, 66 & 67 grades, the prices are sure to be stratospheric. -
I would say look at the edge inscription. This seems to be the hardest part to fake convincingly. It should be a well formed gothic script, nicely centred (top to bottom) all the way around.

We are talking at crossed purposes, Stuart. Dave's post references an 1862 florin, which is what I replied about. I agree with you, if we are talking godless 1849 florin.
-
"Extremely rare...almost impossible to locate in any grade"WHAT? They are rare and not easy to obtain, but I think I'd save his description for the 1863 florin.

Oh, that's just horrible! It is indeed. I suspect that CGS might give it a 78.
