I received a coin from a smoker yesterday. Not a pleasant experience opening the envelope.

You could add, why is he only selling to the UK only, too?

Nobody in their right mind is going to pay more than a quid for this whether slabbed or raw.

VG-8? i think it is better then VG-8

That would stand out as UNC in your collection. ;)

Only kidding Scott.I agree with you.It is a very nice (but less than fine)

The wear on the central reverse spoils it.

I would buy it on a whim for £30.

Post note...bloody hell it is £44 with 2 hrs to go. :o

I just hadn't seen such a low grade slabbed, and yes it does seem a little harsh! VG 8 is equivalent to Fair I believe, i.e. 'very little detail visible'

Surprised the Yanks didn't give it Fine and listed it as a shilling.

Actually I have a few NGC/PCGS slabs which I haven't broken out.Maybe one day.

Once they get post MS63 the coins are usually OK A/UNC UNCish.

What I do notice NGC/PCGS are grading brand new coins...FFS go to the bank.

Talk about the tail wagging the dog.

I don't rate it higher than Fair tbh. The obverse is a bit better, but the reverse is verging on Poor in places.

I would say that Fair is "very little finer details visible", but the legend and main design should still be discernible. The portrait should be more than a silhouette too, though there would be precious little hair detail if any.

FUTURE CURRENCY. SURVIVAL. POST APOCALYPSE. BOOK OF ELI. MAD MAX.

"IT'S STARTED ALREADY, HYPER INFLATION, NATIONAL DEBT, CURRENCIES STARTING TO FAIL. WE'VE ALL SEEN THE MOVIES, POST APOCALYPSE, MONEY, ANY MONEY, WILL BE WORTHLESS. SO AFTER THE PROVERBIAL FAN HAS BEEN WELL AND TRULY HIT WE WILL BE BACK TO THE BARTER SYSTEM, TRADING IN ANYTHING THAT IS OF VALUE TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE. SO WHAT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT THE HUMAN RACE CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT, VITAL TO THE SURVIVAL OF THE SPECIES, EASILY CARRIED IN CONVENIENTLY SMALL INDIVIDUAL SEALED BLUE SACHETS? WHO KNOWS WHAT FUTURE VALUE THESE WILL HAVE?. I HAVE SPENT MANY YEARS BUILDING UP THIS COLLECTION ( APPROXIMATELY 150 IN 1 GRAM SACHETS )OF INFLATION PROOF "FUTURE CURRENCY" FROM ( JUST IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T GUESSED YET ), CERTAIN BAGS OF THINLY SLICED FRIED POTATO SNACKS, NOT FROM "SALT YOUR OWN" OR OTHER GENERIC COPIES, BUT FROM THE ORIGINATORS OF SAID SNACK. SOME OF THE SACHETS ARE INCREDIBLY RARE, YOU KNOW SOMETIMES WHEN YOU OPEN A PACK AND NO MATTER HOW LONG YOU SEARCH THE SACHET IS MISSING, THEN MONTHS LATER THE MISSING ONE TURNS UP IN A DIFFERENT BAG ALONG WITH ANOTHER ONE! I MEAN, HOW LUCKY IS THAT? THERE ARE AT LEAST THREE OF THESE IN THIS COLLECTION, BUT SINCE I DROPPED THEM I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONES THEY ARE NOW, PERHAPS I SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT A BIT MORE ABOUT THAT ONE. ANYWAY, SOMETHING HAS CROPPED UP THAT I NEED ORDINARY " MONEY" FOR AND THE PEOPLE AT THE DEALERSHIP DON'T APPEAR TO HAVE THE SAME FORESIGHT REGARDING THE FUTURE VALUE OF THESE AS I DO! SO UNFORTUNATELY I WILL HAVE TO TRADE EARLIER THAN EXPECTED. SO BE PREPARED, GET SOME FUTURE PROOF CURRENCY NOW BEFORE EVERYONE CATCHES ON OR HEAVEN FORBID I'M BOUGHT OUT BY BILLY GATES. ;)"

That's just modern crap, the guy's talking out of his bottom. The genuine originals came in a twist of blue wax paper.
