£30 plus paid for a copy what's up with some people.

I have noticed that loads of times and i have seen really poor quality ones fetch good money and nice ones less and i cannot understand the logic of people.

I have seen a few on a popular auction site clearly stating they are fakes and people have paid decent money for them.

This is my Brunel and notice the Two Dounds instead of pounds and offset striking..

All as i have seen in the Midlands for years is the Standing on the shoulders of giants (standard one) and i would have noticed if i had a different style of coin. Be on the look out for fakes http://ukfakeanderrorcoins.50webs.com/OTHERS.HTML Dave

I have an almost complete collection of £2 coins and i have seen loads of those types of coins on a large auction site and i don't know why but sometimes they sell well and others not at all. A lot of people think that part of missing words, offset stamping and upside down edge writing makes their coin worth a lot but i don't think that is always the case and also it seems that most 50p's and £2 coins just lately are being offered as rare. For reference and information I like this site http://ukfakeanderrorcoins.50webs.com/index.htm You could put it on a large auction site and try and you may be lucky but at the end of the day it is worth £2 I have seen £2 coins sell for .99p and £1.20 P&P and obviously they are out of pocket on sales like that. Now if you had a Northern Ireland commonwealth games £2 coin that would be a different story. Dave

Tell me about it.

Yes mate

I would be happy pay £20 posted. Dave

I don't know to be honest as I am not sure how much postage would be. But I am not a greedy person just inexperienced with no knowledge of prices. Dave

It's a really nice set so I will put it in one day and see. Thanks Dave

I guess i am not going get much for it and struggle sell it.

Hi all I have a 1988 Canadian proof coin set and can anyone advise how much to ask as I am thinking of selling it. This is for info http://www.ebay.ca/itm/1988-Canada-Proof-Double-Dollar-Set-/370108801828?hash=item562c342324 Dave

I have had to make do with one out of a bag with small marks on it.

Why its you Jon you can have it and will post Pete tomorrow. Pete. Hi Pete Sorry for the late reply but I would be happy if Jon had that Edinburgh coin. Dave

The

In the 50's it was one of the largest estates in Europe https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bentilee Dave

And I live on an estate that was once the second largest in the UK with about 18,000 people so I am led to believe.

I have just been talking about trying to join our local estate volunteers group and they have elderly sessions where they come for a meal and I hope I can use my Victoria coins as a talking point with them if it all works out for me. Dave

I have just looked as I did not know what you meant by cartwheel but this is the type I mean with a date before 1900 https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=queen+victoria+twopence&oq=queen+victoria+twopence&aqs=chrome..69i57.14052j0j4&client=tablet-android-google&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#imgrc=kOURtuZ15PyC2M

I have just checked the detail on mine and it is pretty good so I hope someone else can benefit from it as I don't want to be selfish and have it for the sake of it. I am looking for a queen Victoria twopence but they either have holes in or are to expensive for me.

Yes I believe Edinburgh is the rarest with a mintage of about 935.000 Dave

I read this site http://ukfakeanderrorcoins.50webs.com/

http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Replica-Coins_131509244.html?spm=a2700.7724838.0.0.3z5G4k

Most of the coins in my price range have holes in them surely this ruins the coin.
