Just lately whilst viewing on a large auction site i have noticed that a lot of 50p, £1 and £2 coins seem to have the word "rare" next to them and it makes me laugh especially the wannabe millionaires selling a 50p for £400 as an example.
I live in Staffordshire and to be honest i have had about three and never bothered keep them and yesterday i had another and it is sitting here in front of me.
People are asking £14 to £18 plus delivery for a set of four capital city £1 coins and the quality is not that brilliant and i would love a set and to be honest it is the only set i have got my heart on but i just cannot get the set.

I am hoping to collect the four capital city £1 coins and I wondered if anyone could help please.
I feel embarrassed to say it but my budget is not much.
Thanks Dave
I have noticed on a large auction site that some people are asking extortionate prices like a few thousand on say a £2 coin as the date is missing so are they living on a different planet than me or are they being realistic.

They seem to go for different amounts according to quality which i understand and as such i have looked at sniping but one site said it needed my details like password so i ditched the idea.
I have the English oak, Irish Flax, Scottish thistle and the Welsh leek piedfort £1 coins for sale and there has only been 12 views in four days so maybe my wording is wrong
I thought today i had actually won a Kew gardens 50p and was beaten literally at 1 second left and it was snatched from my very eyes so i guess i need to learn how to snipe or however they do it.
Maybe it is me but I think some people ask sily prices for postage and packaging and I had one the other month and it was an envelope with a bit of cardboard in with the coin sellotaped to it and postage was about £2.50 but more fool me for buying it
Well I eventually won one for £7.50 but not exactly as good coin but at least people can see what it is.
The coin is coming from Germany and the seller said it had been in Sweden for about a 100 years although I cannot understand why.
