This looks like a fake coin in a fake slab to me:
There are none of the bag marks on the coin that were visible last time it appeared at auction:

I just dipped my toe into Conder tokens for the first time and managed to get this Warwickshire DH36, which is rated as RRR for rarity by DH, off ebay of all places!

They never even bothered to respond to my email, I sent 2 other examples too.
I’ve just taken a look on their app., they’re certainly in no rush to pull it, it’s still ticking away.
It has now been withdrawn on the web site.

The machines are so expensive as there is a global shortage of chips at the moment so GPUs with a RRP of say 500 are commanding prices well in excess of that. I asked how do you mean as in, do you mean how do they mine or why a GPU heavy rig. Check out the Bitcoin video the BBC made. BBC Bitcoin

Useful info - thanks.
Are you (or is anybody) able to explain how one of these expensive crypto mining machines work and what they are used for?
How do you mean? If your on about how they mine then rigs like this are GPU heavy as modern graphics cards are far better at mining crytpo. The more transactions the can handle/solve/mine the more chance they will earn some crypto.

I managed to win one lot which ticks a few gaps.

That 1912 HC didn't seem to be a soft price! £440 hammer.

Sorry, they are still selling CGS coins. The "choice English coins" tab has been removed but they are still selling at the bottom of their web page.
I spoke with them last week looking to buy a few. They are not selling on the site unfortunately.

I love German coins. I have very little knowledge on them but love the designs.

@azda do you ship the coins to the USA or to a UK address for both PCGS and NGC?

The database is working for me @Paulus.

I couldn't believe the prices for items that were fairly common and cleaned.... amazing what people were paying.

Richard - his cleaning appears on the photos at least as rub, and with an abrasive cloth or some such. Spink had a sale about 4 years ago where many if not most of the coins were cleaned similarly BUT NOT MENTIONED! I purchased a few that I regret but not at high prices....
I got stung at a Spink auction as well @VickySilver. I bought a group of halfcrowns, including a 1925. It was partially my own fault as they did not show the obverse of the coins. Most were ok but the 1925 had a light X scratched on the bust. I took it as a lesson learned. It is a shame really as the 1925 is a very high grade, scratch aside.
It is a shame so many of the DNW coins are cleaned but I am glad they have flagged it before the sale.

Welcome! The best bits of advice I was given when I started were:
Buy the book before the coin. Read, read, read if you are serious about collecting.
Buy the best grade you can afford of a particular coin.
Finally if you buy coins graded by third parties (slabbed coins from LCGS, PCGS, NGC, ANACS to name the mains ones) buy the coin not the slab. That is to say dont let the grade on the plastic deterkine if you feel its a nice coin.
Good luck and I hope you enjoy this great hobby!
