Rob Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Professionally cleaned?I need to get his number so I can get him to clean some of my coins It's a pity it comes from a smoke-free home, otherwise it might have restored a bit of toning to the coin. Or is that just wishful thinking? Quote

RLC35 Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Hahahahaha, this is a first for me in terms of pictures...WTF?! That's an absolute classic! Everything about it is just so wrong...It looks like he took the picture from his PC camera, while his wife was setting in front of the PC (leaning to the right). I think that may be a First for eBay! Quote

I think that may be a First for eBay! That is the scantily clad model draped seductively across the table showing you what you to could achieve owning this fine specimen of a coin,The coin held aloft in a hard working honest mans hand,tired from the daily slog of hard labour.The little boy in the back ground making you feel secure in the knowledge that if you where to buy it,he would get his christmas lights back,and Santa would come this year,and the room would be alight with the glow from a new light blub,purchased from the profits.....go on you know you want to! 1 Quote

HistoricCoinage Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Originally listed as an Elizabeth I coin I informed him it was a fake Henry VIII. Still listed as genuine. Shame on them. The WRL kind of gives it away... Quote
HistoricCoinage Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Another fake, 'passed down' from his 'great nan'. Quote
Peter Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Another fake, 'passed down' from his 'great nan'.These turn up all the time. Quote
Rob Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 But may not be lying. Quite possibly his great nan did hand it down to him - after a day out in Blackpool. Quote

Rob Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Am I missing something?linkI assume that the bidders took the starting price of £280 to be reasonable, so that £50 over is therefore not excessive. If it had started at £180 and gone up to £230 there would be nothing to explain as it would be close to Spink book. Quote

Guess I just think of these as readily available in high grades, let's see where it ends up! - if close to £400 that is excessive as far as I'm concerned, and would suggest someone paying for the number?

Rob Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Spink says 225 UNC.Anyway, MS64 is something I would want to check very carefully for wear in the hand. There are too many EF or gEF MS64s about to take a punt. Quote
Peckris Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 Am I missing something?linkIt's the proof, right? Strange thing is, it doesn't LOOK like the proof.I do have the ultra-common currency strike in that condition, which I rate somewhere between £100 - £150, so it MUST be a cheap proof, right? (Mine cost a shade under £38 in 1999, and it obviously hasn't gone up by £300 in 15 years, or nearly 1000%...)It's the proof, right? Even though it doesn't look anything like a proof. Quote
