Resale value of the copy will be about a quid. Resale value of the £2500 coin will be about ........... £2500. In fact you would probably lose more money in total on the copy than the real thing, despite the price difference. Bizarre. Quote
VickySilver Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 The 1853 1/2 crown is over 47 quid now.... Quote
HistoricCoinage Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 A screenshot as I suspect it'll be changed soon. 1 Quote
Rob Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Brilliant. What's disconcerting is how any of the images could ever be confused with coins. A single image, ok, but to add 5 wrong images beggars belief. Quote

Probably worth 100-150 at best ... Quote
Coinery Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Oh, my goodness, and from a fine seller with prominent feedback too! Quote
Paulus Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Clearly these items are worth a fraction of what he is asking, and shilling is out for BINs, what is he hoping do you think? Quote
azda Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 I think he's hoping for a mug punter Paul, now there's an ebay novelty Quote
Coinery Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 You can copy the numbers and paste them directly into eBay's search box, Scott! Quote
Paulus Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) I don't have a problem with people asking any price for anything on eBay, you see it all the time with antiques, for example - as long as the item is as described and the pics un-photoshopped! I guess the word 'mug' applies to people paying over the top for these items, without doing any due diligence, and not returning them if they are not happy.However, when it comes to experienced coin sellers, while it doesn't breach any rules, trying to take advantage of human nature lusting after a bargain, without offering a grade or current price guide, is not going to win many friends or loyal customers.

Paulus Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Bizarre, was GIII considered to have 'died' around 1800 when the Regency period started? Or is this just a 'silly' coin with non-contemporary graffiti on it?http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1797-King-George-III-Cartwheel-Death-Penny-/251910891180?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3aa70f26ac Quote

Doesn't look too bad providing you go by the coin not the label.... Quote
azda Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 The labels are certainly out, although the coins themselves do look reasonable at EF grades and not UNCs, best offer options are avaliable Quote
