I think thats about the 3rd time thats been listed! My favourite bit is "This is a chance that comes up once every lifetime"!

Ironically, 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.

"...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!

Steve, if they all say new pence and the Queen is on them wearing a necklace you should sell them on ebay; "cos sumone telled me that this a RARE coin and is gud for colectors and will be a gud invesment"

If they have a butt-ugly rainbow tone that works out at them being worth 37 grand!

Not an e bay laugh, but actually a genuine bargain for a starter collector, or one without too much spare cash

"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.

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

If 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.

[azda 978]

Oh don't worry Rob i'm not interested in scrap material

"You might get other coins rather than the one shown in the picture, but they are all in similar condition." Oh great. You mean I might get a circulated 2009 £1 coin? Gee whiz. Quick quick, let me bid, NOW.

[Rob 3,106]

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.
