I went and looked at these lots as the auction is fairly local to me; under the loupe there was no doubt that they were all replicas, casting bubbles etc- and chatting to the auctioneer afterwards clearly both he and the vendor were flabbergasted! I think we’ll have to watch Ebay closely in case they re-surface!

I did buy a lot with a rare Hereford token for less than I expected and overpaid for one of the Edward penny lots including  a Berwick Blunt 4a but with a very unusual semicircle hair-line and nice face. (Always liked a nice face!)

I think you’re right about eBay! I bought 4 coins from that auction (2 lots), coins I’d previously sold on eBay to a buyer in Ludlow, I wonder if that was a deceased estate?

Ahh, if I’d known you were there…I’m still waiting for a revised invoice to include postage, it’s the longest I’ve ever had to wait. I messaged them again, yesterday.

It was a depressing auction overall for me, as I had internet issues with EE which cost me the Elizabeth Groat (lot 255) I would’ve gone £300 without hesitation. It sold for £180, gutted 😩

nb: it’s not creased, all the images of coins in capsules were the same, including the ones I previously sold, which I knew to be sound.

Yes, the groat was nice and very tempting at that price. But the marks were a little more apparent than in the photo and I had my sights elsewhere. The York shilling looked good and was a good buy for someone.

If you ever need anything collected I usually go up if there is a significant coin offering.
