DaveG38 Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 I reckon the seller's been on something above 40o proof if he thinks this one's a proof halfcrown.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200893092428&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123 Quote

I used to deal (and still dabble) in antique silver. I bought one for tarnished flatware and it was pretty useless at removing anything, other than the £10 from my wallet to buy it of course! Quote

I quite often get my head into the Clevedon Salerooms, and I see all this lovely GIII/WIV silver going out, just wishing I knew enough to buy some without throwing my money away. Quote

Flatware is a non-starter unless you can find Paul Storr (VERY VERY collectable) workshop pieces. You have my number if you need advice (25p connection charge and £1.50/min after that as it doubles as my wifes chatline ). Quote

Coinery Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 Not so much a laugh, really! I'm beginning to wonder whether the bidders have missed the former reverse brooch mount on this one! 111022820896 Quote
HistoricCoinage Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 Not so much a laugh, really! I'm beginning to wonder whether the bidders have missed the former reverse brooch mount on this one! 111022820896 I saw this and thought the same. Also, it appears that Edward was a fan of Twitter as it's got a lovely hashtag on the obverse, too. Shame. Quote

Lucky Bevpub indeed.... private listings always leave me slightly suspicious however! What was it, penny or shilling?We'll never know for sure. That's why I never bid on private listings. Quote
