Rob Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 "Never even been handled by human hands"linkIronically, if it has come out of a 1973 proof set it may in fact be one of the few modern rainbow toned coins that are not AT. The sets for that year inevitably contain toned coins because something in the plastic case or the holder leaches out. The never handled by human hands may also apply as the seller purports to operate a zoo judging by the name. Quote

My favourite bit is "This is a chance that comes up once every lifetime"!"...but only if you're lucky" Apparently! Now here's a chance that must only come up once in every hundred lifetimes.... A roll of 2p coins I bought back in 1973 that seemed to have leaked! Quote

Accumulator Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 "In good nick but needs a good clean"Actually it looks like the cleaning process has already been started. Maybe the seller ran out of Brillo pads?Anyway, the low £5 start price should see the bids rolling in. Quote
azda Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Is it me or does there just seem to be a whole heap of junk on ebay right now? There used to be some nice coins inbetween the shite, but it's all shite right now Quote

There used to be some nice coins inbetween the shite, but it's all shite right nowIf it stays like that for any length of time, even the lesser crap will look good. RESIST at all costs - there is a world outside ebay. Quote

Rob Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) It's a good job ebay don't impose the same demands as this vendor, otherwise we wouldn't have a thread worth the name. link. Black pots and kettles spring to mind. Edited March 27, 2011 by Rob Quote
