Indeed, it would have cost a pretty penny if genuine, really is a strange one, I shall look out for feedback!

"A first class all round service very pleased thank you,wonderful seller."

Looks like it was genuine!

There's an area of Bournemouth called Boscombe which boasts around 10 "antique" shops, although the majority are selling high end tat. I visit one regularly because he knows nothing about medals and i

I know its a major rarity, but £9k in that condition looks optimistic to me - still there may be a halfpenny collector who must have it!!

Especially as the authorities can't agree whether it's a pattern or a medallion.

And the Nicholson example was sold by Colin Cooke for £550, and wasn't much different with respect to grade, although it did suffer less corrosion, but had less detail remaining. At best, I'd say it might be worth a punt at £900, but not £9,000. Even then it's not a pretty sight, but then many specimens of this era in well known collections are not in top condition either.

This Gentleman and coin were both on coincommunity forum. He apparently sent pictures to spink who were not interested in his coin. Apparently i'm banned from there, maybe Peter can dig out the link

This is apparently AEF. Terrible grading from a dealer.

Well, I was thinking one of two things when I wrote the above; that I was either an employee of a TPGC or had my tongue in my cheek! ;)

Edit: I think you'll find the small curls that fall in front the forehead, and the proximal end of the topmost ribbon has AEF Details! I feel certain that this was what he was referring to! (Really big winky eye)! ;):)

I think he slipped that "E" in, accidentally on purpose :lol:

Yes, but shouldn't the grading be H (hairy), VH (very hairy) and EH (extremely hairy)? Where does the F come into it or does it stand for Furry?

Dave you worry me.

I always thought you were a nice Scottie who liked his tummy rubbed. A big hairy Jock with a Kilt and Bollocks as big as an Aberdeen Angus spoils it. :unsure:

Moving away from Dave's arse for a second (not quite sure how that started!), this guy has had some high grade coins for sale today, some of which received no bids at all. This might be in part down to his 'Item condition' statement ("used with wear") which is at variance with his item description ("probably unc")!

Here's an example:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1887-QUEEN-VICTORIA-HALF-CROWN-2-6d-SILVER-925-COIN-0300-/230918677651?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&autorefresh=true&nma=true&si=lwoW94bIzNFaHgBs%252BW1cUSuae4I%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

although his starting price in this case was way too high

I have also made mistakes in my eBay listings (assuming this was a mistake) listing a 'similar item' and failing to change all the description fields from the previous ones, then finding I can't correct my error after a bid has been placed ... has anyone come a major cropper in the same scenario?
