  1. By the way ebay can often get you good money for even poor quality rubbish. Try selling in lots if your coins are not good enough on their own. Keep the postage down and describe the coins honestly. good luck!!!
  2. Thats great never never be afraid of selling and specializeing in what you are really drawn to. That way you dont just hoard and get a better idea where you want to go in the future
  3. :blink: No thanks. i always hope my death would involve cats or guns. Tripping over a cat ? Sounds a really boreing death to me. And by the way death was not mentioned - just something that far more pleasureable
  4. Or our members in her LOL
  5. Marina - in my eyes that conjours up a couple of things from the mid sixties. The lovely bardot inspired puppet that always came to troy tempests rescue. Or maybe just a pier that stinks of fish
  6. Oh chris your a real doubting Thomas arn't you . Even to the point of thinking she was not female...
  7. 26 years old and born in 1975 ???? Someone is telling porkies
  8. If she wants a boy Hello17 might be suitable- I suspect she might have him for breakfast though. A bit like Jordan did with Garath Gates......
  9. Looks like she would have my collection put on ebay , sold and dissappear into the night
  10. I always look at the scraped silver in a local scrap dealers stall he is at all the local collectors fairs /flea markets. The saddest thing is the silver medals from the first world war probably sold for £17.50 or so , it really was not worth selling them 10 years ago - they would have fetched a £5 note. To just hold one and think about what the holder had to do for the medal breaks your heart. £17.50? The darn things should be priceless!
  11. Americans DON'T hate slabs at all scott ,(And it's by far the biggist numismatic market in the world). It's just this tiny island over the pond (and most of europe too ), that hate the darn things
  12. VERY impressive! . Surely you could pass that off for serious money now , was the plug all silver? I have often wept at lovely coins with a hole on them- proper coin collectors consider them almost worthless.

  14. same goes with the 1895 halfpenny as well - but really i would expect the buyer to go for a more common date like 1901 they are pretty cheap
  15. A 1902 halfpenny in around mint state should have a lot of appeal to a type set collector. This might account for some of the silly prices offered. But if you just wait and are prepared to be outbid a few times you should get a nice one on the bay for £40 - £70 depending on it's grade and if anyone else wants it.
  16. Avoid the london mint office like the plague unless you want to buy unsellable crap.
  17. You would need nad's like a bull and a brain the size of a pea if you hope to make a profit out of anything the london mint office sell. LOL I do know they sell a mean plastic gold plated ingot
  18. Try getting him into crowns from the sixties ,seventies and early eighties. They are really cheap and will be fun for him as well
  19. Funny enough seller does not say if it is 9 carat 18 carat or 21 carat gold - it's a bit important is it not?
  20. And that george washington probably used this as admission to a public toilet in 1776 $500 -$1500 guaranteed
  21. The seller will be so pleased with you argent NOT <<< LOL better disguise yourself now
  22. To describe this stuff as junk is doing it a favour. Think very carefully before parting with good money for this rubbish. In two hundred years time you would be lucky to get your money back off this pile of c**p Invest in bullion pennies for their bronze content or scrap silver but not this
  23. i was lucky enough to get around £20 for one of these once - there a few avid collectors around , They are always brass never silver or gold
  24. Found in the woods - obviously an early example of a "hedge" fund
