azda Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Perhaps we should recognise a new class of ancient coin - the Anglo-Saxby?More to the point, Perhaps we should recognise a new Dick Turpin. Quote
HistoricCoinage Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 I've emailed the seller, I wonder if he'll do anything. Quote

Paulus Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) Sorry to ask been following a cgs 1858 penny not scarce but a nice grade .Can someone please tell me why wtih a couple of days left it is at £490 . Again sorry but its blown my head in.Sharkster's high grade CGS coins have all been doing very very well on eBay auctions, I have been keeping a record of them, he has been selling for a few weeks nowLINK Edited June 13, 2014 by Paulus Quote
PWA 1967 Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Always not sure on private listings paulus i have just had about thirty graded by cgs and a lot finest known an 1841 at 85 and would not expect £490 even though there value is £600. Was watching the others and good luck to him.Maybe i should be selling mine Quote
Paulus Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 You might be surprised, I have done pretty well with my silver, getting near CGS/Spink values in many cases, sometimes higher Quote
Peckris Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Sorry to ask been following a cgs 1858 penny not scarce but a nice grade .Can someone please tell me why wtih a couple of days left it is at £490 . Again sorry but its blown my head in.Private listing - I wouldn't go near that auction with a bargepole. The three commonest Vicky copper pennies are 1854, 1855, and 1858 (despite all the latter's varieties). In that condition? £200 max I'd say. (Don't quote Spink at me - they are often overpriced...)

PWA 1967 Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Yes thats why i posted peck .They have it on the c g s site at £350 and it is a nice grade,was going to throw a late bid in of £250.But £490 is not possible surely Quote
Rob Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Yes thats why i posted peck .They have it on the c g s site at £350 and it is a nice grade,was going to throw a late bid in of £250.But £490 is not possible surelyAnything's possible if someone breaks the connection between logic and action Quote
PWA 1967 Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Thanks for your reply rob was starting to think i was becoming dafter than i am. Quote
Peter Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 I hope the slab monkeys don't take over....I promise I will never buy a slabbed coin over £10. Quote
PWA 1967 Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Somtimes buying slabs is the only way over the last couple of years peter to get what you may want / need . An 1869 penny sold at the last l.c.a . For £1400 plus commision in a reasonable grade . I would be happy to pay a lot more for an unc one weather in a slab .cardboard box or even a durex.Does not matter. Quote

Was watching the others and good luck to him.Maybe i should be selling mineThe winning bidder has a 12583 feedback Quote
PWA 1967 Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Thats fantastic and hope does well ,my queary was it seems way over the top and always needs to be an underbidder. Quote
azda Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) I know because i use an aye pad. The ebay app for ipad has a small flaw where you can see the screened winning bidder only. Now, here's where it gets interesting. I checked this sellers auctions and 1 bidder is winning 17 of his 24 auctions, so for me, These are DEFINATELY being shilled.The total of winning bids equals 2122 GBP the winning bidder has a 46 Feedback score and has a***c in his Name, he's winning the following coins1862/73 and 75 pennies1811-12-13 and 15 eighteen pence bank tokens1845 1836 1927 1847 1872 and 1856 Shillings1853 Sixpence1746 Halfcrown1927 Proof threepence1927 Proof SixpenceNo wonder his CGS graded auctions have been doibg well, when they are shilled uponThe Person who's winning the 1858 Penny has also left Feedback for another coin he won, Feedback was left on the 08.05.14 Edited June 14, 2014 by azda Quote
PWA 1967 Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Sorry azda all makes sense was a bit tongue in cheek and i apologise .The coin does not finish until tomorrow and thought i had been drinking to much.Most of the ones he has sold have been over the top.Anyway thought it was nice that we agree that they dont stack up Quote
azda Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 No Need for an apology, this also helps other members, new and old that These coins are being pushed for greedy sellers, i doubt half of them would get what they are getting if they were'nt shilled up. I have however sent the seller a message telling him WHO is shilling his auctions and WHICH auctions are being shilled, i'll be interested in his reply, IF he replies Quote
PWA 1967 Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Suppose its peoples instinct to be greedy ,however dont like anyone to be ripped off.Be interested in original post from paulus as to his thoughts .I no its no big deal and we all spend money on what we like although£490 is not realistic.Hope he gets stuck with it .Be lucky Quote
Paulus Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 If his coins ARE being shilled (which sounds highly likely) then of course he will know and would be unlikely to admit it! I'd be interested to hear if you get any kind of reply Dave! He is called Sharkster after all!Of course for successful shilling there still needs to be someone out there willing to bid higher than the shiller - Rob's comment sounds appropriate!As I said, I have been watching his high grade CGS coins the last few weeks, many of them have gone for eye-watering amounts.

The one bidder has bidded on 17 out of 24 auctions, there's no way they are genuine bids Quote
PWA 1967 Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 You can have two shill bidders and make any number of excuses why the winner/winners did not pay .I have had numerous offers to buy ,down the line and all becoming a joke. Quote
