But I think the seller is being fair since he is only charging 99p including p+p. I guess most people don't care much about a quid these days. The item I was commenting on has ended.

This could be his first sale on Ebay according to his feedbacks. Quote

Coin#addict Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 £133 or thereabouts seems rather expensive for the 1933 penny. The thing is I have seen them on ebay maybe three times. Where do these coins surface from and why are there not a lot more of them being touted. Quote

Diaconis Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 That 'treasure chest' is just awful, "You’re George III coins are displayed a fabulous wooden sea chest, just like the Captain of the Admiral Gardner may have owned". Talk about anachronisms. If the Captain of the Admiral Gardner had owned a chest like that, then along with inventing the cross head screw, Henry Phillips must have had access to a tardis. Quote

Indeed - I noticed your identical post on September 26th. I would though take this opportunity to add that Bletchley Park is well worth a visit if anybody has the time. Also, you get a year pass, so can revisit free of charge as many times as you want in the following 12 months. Hall Place is in Bexley, Kent and is also well worth a visit link Quote Codename Santa Fe: The Secret Wartime History of Hall Place explores how American soldiers stationed at Hall Place – code name Santa Fe – intercepted encoded messages sent by the Germans. GI veterans’ memories and declassified files reveal the importance of their round-the-clock, top-secret work, which helped defeat, the Nazis. Quote

That being said, thank you for your support in commenting favorably.... I used to have this problem - when I created a new post, the text of my previous one would always appear in the box. Sometimes I could select it and it would delete and on other occasions it would not. Often I would need to go to another computer to be rid of the problem on that occasion. The issue disappeared for me when I upgraded my laptop so it appears to be a compatibility problem. Frank Quote
Unwilling Numismatist Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 * Side note for techy parts: The new forum software will now give the option to clear the editor (I think your old post needs to be > 24 hours for this to show). In the event that you do not get that option, simply refresh the page and that should clear it. Either the Browser "refresh" button, or press CTRL+F5 (works in most browsers) ** Resume thread topic ... That's a nice hold with a penny around it! Quote
