  1. There again most auction stuff is either single coins worth £100 plus or bulk collections again worth £100 plus the single coins tend to be bought by collectors to boost their collection and the bulk lots tent to be bought by dealers . Obviously this is just a generalisation and the two sorts of buyers can slip into either camp.
  2. Yes 15% too 20% seems much more reasonable , by putting up their fees so much they will effectively drive all sellers to the oposition. Shrewd move NOT!!!!
  3. Really they should have taken the item down by now , arwell out of my hands now and into the hands of someone who doesnotgiveashit
  4. As marleybob has admited the coin he has for sale is stolen I have done my duty and reported the item to ebay - hopefully item should be taken down very soon
  5. Surely if it was take from a church with no permission that would make it stolen property and ou would be commiting a crime by buying it
  6. Quite interesting this - there is a seller at the moment trying to sell a 1860 TB farthing ,just an ordinary one as a mule when it quite obviously is not . Coin is worth about £30 and he has it for sale at £1600 it would be quite easy to take him to a small claims court and claim your money back , but there again why bother when you know its only worth 2% of it BIN value . Maybe he believe the old addage "A fool and his money are soon parted"
  7. Did we even know this might happen to coins back in the seventies when we put tham in these albums.
  8. OMG cannot imagine anyone even a profesional cleaner would want them
  9. Another pickup from york a political token from middlesex a rare token and ever popular . Not in the best of grade but again great VFM
  10. I think its the simple complexity of the collecting and hundreds of different varieties that puts people off - but they are great little pieces of social history and art and also show the rapidly changing social and economic pressures of the time
  11. 18th cent tokens are a great VFM area at the moment .
  12. From the title I though you were flying to oz
  13. Halfcrown is nice and the anne shilling
  14. Roll on york for the bargains LOL
  15. I remember the last e/r I had in my collection I picked up in brum it was in around fine-good fine grade and cost me £6 , I got it off a shouldhavegonetospecsavers dealer who never noticed it and I sold it a couple of years later for £32 on the bay it was very popular . I think the coin pictured is worth at least £100 pos £125 or so , still a great buy. Would grade as GVF with the ek getting a mention as well. Poss you could grade VGVF though thats debateable
  16. Anyone think its a conflict of interest when a company that makes coins also makes money from selling them !
  17. Deffo boris too young for trump
  18. so good I said it twice LOL
  19. I must say he does a great imperination of fred scuttle
  20. While I never watched it all the way through I thought jeremy hunt did really well against boris last night , pity he's 11/1 against
