6 minutes ago, Rob said:When you sign in to Easylive to register to bid on an auction it gives you the option of either a flat fee of £3 which is taken whether you win anything or not, or a 3% of hammer surcharge. That's a no-brainer. I've spent thousands on many occasions for the same £3 a pop. On very rare occasions I have not won anything, but happily paid £3 to give me the ability to bid live, particularly with less prestigious auctioneers, where you might be wary of leaving commission bids.
As I said, it's the cost of a pint and you need to do incredibly badly to spend more in wasted £3s than the 3% charge on any winnings.
Me too. £3, wins or no, is neither here nor there.

11 hours ago, DaveG38 said:I'm not surprised. I have tried to get them to include the 1695 DEI GRATIA halfpenny, for which their laughable reply was that they couldn't possibly include every minor variety. So, a major legend change is a 'minor varient', but the tiny differences in the early Victorian pennies are 'major' and worthy of inclusion. Spink are a joke and not worth the effort.
'Minor'? Ridiculous.
How many confirmed examples do we now have, seven, eight? They've included the 1694 MVRIA halfpenny for many years even though, until a recent fourth came to light, only three were known.
And if we're talking about early milled minor varieties, and whether or not they are deemed worthy of inclusion, just one 'off the top of my head' example of many, I'd suggest they might like to reconsider would be their 1675 farthing, no stop after CAROLVS. Again, been listed for years, and given a value, yet has anyone here ever seen one? I haven't, nor am I aware of anyone who has.

I must admit that Britannia making all the coins personally brings a smile to my face.
Same design as the old halfpenny trial dies. I have the 1957 one.

How about this for 'extra metal'.

'Ollies' were your regular marbles. The larger ones and ball bearings were 'Bullies'.

Yes, I thought it a tad mushy looking too.

Same seller's full list. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?item=125587797461&rt=nc&_ssn=alibat-143&_pgn=1
I'm drawn to the rather lovely 1977 crown. Very rare, apparently, so likely a snip at £150....

You're very welcome.
Did you spot, more than once, reference is made to the coining of sovereigns.

BBC. Impartial. Sport.
The BBC, being a license financed, non ad revenue, broadcaster, brand names and logos are always edited out wherever possible, even to the extent of food brand identifiers being clumsily censored by use of black tape on containers in cookery shows. Sport? Come footy post match analysis; any manager, player, associated pundit, loon with a view, is shown standing before a board festooned with ads for all manner of companies and products.
Why is this?

I've been told these daft listings can sometimes be money laundering.

12 minutes ago, Rob said:What's wrong with people. It's not even as good as the Spink plate coin, and that only cost 34K last time out with a handful of bidders.
Completed listings shows it last closed at £155 so I suspect, whatever the seller ID, she's now so familiar people are happy to have a bit of fun at her expense.
Who here remembers the slightly faulty decimal coin she asked a million for because she wanted to buy a chippy?
