Rob Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 It gets better. The errors were pointed out and the problem is quote THANKS ROB. BLOODY AUTO LIST MANAGER TOOL. CHANGED TO MANUAL MUCH SAFER. REGARDS RICHClearly you can't trust computers these days. They insert wrong dates, wrong monarchs, changed George VI's wife's name to Mary or changed William's to George and to cap it all it appears that the coin is now cupro-nickel and a VIP proof!! - with more emphasis on the cupro than the nickel if the washed out colours are anything to go by. Must be the computer's fault. I wonder what the original coin was with the initial description? I don't normally use emoticons, but I wish there was one with a sad look shaking it's head.Do these people really exist or is someone just taking the p***???????????????? Quote
Rob Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Now we have gone up-market to a 1953 King's Norton Crown Quote
Peter Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 At least shilling is spelt correctly and the KN obviously refers to knochwurst. Ja ? Quote
kuhli Posted November 28, 2005 Author Posted November 28, 2005 At least shilling is spelt correctly and the KN obviously refers to knochwurst. Ja ? Gotta give this one a little credit. Perhaps he is referring to the base-metal content of the crown, which in German would be kuper-nikel. Quote

Never mind, there will always be another one along soon. Quote

Peter Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 If its a speaking coin then it is rare....probably AngloDeutsch.The last 3 coins would be woth more with a hole drilled in them to become washers.You see some stuff that people bid on and you have to ask why? Quote
Peter Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 I wonder if its a Elizabeth Ryal or Sovereign....Who is going to check ? Quote
Rob Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 Why would anyone want to pay 50p to get rid of a 1p coin? Why don't they just throw it away?1p coin Quote

Peter Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 (edited) One day someone will list a 1952 or 54 1d at £7.99 in NF.Actually I saw a 1888 inverted 1 Double Florin once but I was amongst the masses Edited January 3, 2006 by Peter Quote
Master Jmd Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 Some people are just too desperate me thinks:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-UK-Fifty-pence-5...1QQcmdZViewItemhttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-UK-Fifty-pence-5...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote
Rob Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 One day someone will list a 1952 or 54 1d at £7.99 in NF. And it will probably sell for under a tenner. I listed an 1826/2 shilling once and it sold for £1.71. Even in dire grade it had to be worth more than that. Still, Footandankle was happy. What is it about ebay that enables a piece of crap worth literally nothing other than scrap value to sell for £10, 20 or 30, yet start a piece worth £10 for £4.99 or even £1.99 and it doesn't sell because you didn't start at 99p?

custard1966 Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Do I detect something suspicious about the bidding on this item ?http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1826-GEORGE-IV-PENNY...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote
Geordie582 Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 £175 with 30 days to go for a VF penny catalogued (in 2004) at £40 seems strange - unless there are a lot of people out there with bags of Chrismas present money (or refunds) Quote
custard1966 Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 And notice how all but the first bidder have zero feedback Quote
