Red Riley Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 I thought the reverse would bring it down to a VFI would give the whole coin a nice GVF (obv. check wear on curl in front of ear and on leaves), but it does look nice and could approach EF prices. Quote

Put it this way, I'm not sure I'd want it (but these things are entirely subjective). Quote

Gary D Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 Yes and they look at world coins through american eyes with vastly over inflated ideas of value. There was a guy on another forum asking the value of a 1953 scottish proof shilling. Another american came back with $150, it was soon pointed out that they were common and $15 was closer to the truth. Quote

So if he's wrong about that... Quote
wybrit Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Although not quite as ridiculous as the Heritage auction price, a 1901 NGC MS65RD penny just fetched US$400 on ebay Sunday (Feb 21). The buyer was Aspen Park Rare Coins. Can these silly prices sustain themselves? Quote

And that 1934 Crown looks EF at best. Still, I'm sure both will find buyers at prices that make our jaws drop. Quote

Way out of my league but worth keeping the pictures. Quote

Coppers Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Yuk...Artificial toning has no place in my collectionUS collectors often pay incredible sums for toned coins, many of which had help getting that way. Quote
Coin_Hunter Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Yuk...Artificial toning has no place in my collectionUS collectors often pay incredible sums for toned coins, many of which had help getting that way.Yeah. But don't they just sit them on the TV to make them tone - I would've thought you could just buy a BU coins and do that yourself, save some money.... Quote

Flash Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 I put it down to genuine stupidity. I've been offered somewhere in the region of 50 to 100 of these and from day one I've turned them all down. Prices quoted have ranged from a serious £5,000,000.00 (he geuninely thought that was what he would get and that I was trying to rip him off by quoting £30.00 right up to the point where I said I wouldn't buy it anyway even at £30.00). Only yesterday I had a text saying £3,000.00, no offers, and an address to post the cheque to :-) These people genuinely believe the undated 20p's are worth a fortune!!!!!!!Oh well, at least it's calmed down a bit and eBay seem to be removing the total rip off merchants although in my opinion anyone who's bought a genuine undated 20p for more than £20.00 has been ripped off :-( Quote
