Im expecting Rob will soon tell the name of the bloke who struck the coin ad what season it was and what he had for breakfast I've learnt alot lately 1. I know what i like 2. I know a bit about Edward VII shillings and florins I think but no doubt what i know is wrong 3 I know F*** all else

not strictly true my bid was £115 but didnt register as all the snipes went together. If i was paying that kind of money id need either a proper look and maybe return if not upto spec or buy from a shop From what you have posted on the forum so far pies, it looks like you have a very good eye for a bargain when it comes to Eddies! I may have to give you a wish list so you can be my personal shopper Just gambled on this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170880241738?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2648#ht_500wt_922 It's about EF

As you were gents Note to self stop buying EF 1909 florins cheap

Been watching this 1909 florin on the bay,i cant see why its made so much http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stunning-Edward-VII-Silver-Standing-Britannia-Florin-1909-Orig-Coindex-Packet-/120953683236?pt=UK_Coins_BritishMilled_RL&hash=item1c2966bd24

It must be so frustrating for you as ex police to see these things going on John! It is blatant that this person knows what he is doing. If more than one person told me I had a fake listed I would cancel the auction right away. I just had a reply from him saying he was "leaving it up to his nephew and the highest bidder to take it to the Royal Mint for identification"...???? On a lighter note, he also said "he has had some abuse" about it, so thats nice                        I got this as a reply                        Dear phpies, Please don't bid on the coin I am waiting a descision from my nephew who found the coin on his building site. He takes his metal Detector with him on every site he works because his friend discovered a small hoard of Gold Coins. I ask you not to bid as I am proposing to take the listing off because I have been unindated with messages that the coin is a Chinese copy therefore to be sure I am sending the Coin to the Royal Mint to have it checked out - dullahan78 Reply in your email program or through My Messages From: phpies To: dullahan78 Subject: Details about the item: phpies sent a message about 1860 Victorian Copper halfpenny #180937503486 Sent Date: 26-Jul-12 22:11:38 BST Dear dullahan78, Hi I'm interested in bidding on th 1860 halfpenny.

Between fine and unc is my guess

Yep,Robs inspected it and confirmed its a fake,pity but NO loss except time but lots learnt

Hi all just wondering what sort of value do you associate with provenance on a coin ie previous tickets or bills of sale Seems to me alot of value is placed on these and to me it seems a bit high
