PINMAN Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) The sellers name made me laugh. Edited February 5, 2009 by PINMAN Quote

Peter Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 With my current work demand and the worry of future income I'm considering online trading for coins. How ever the crud I'm now seeing makes me realise my stuff up the attic may yield a few bob.....A worrying time before @ Quote
Stechlin Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Somebody in this forum prepares a book about grading. Unfortunately I've forgotten who it is. But nobody needs this book. Just trust the ebay sellers!http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1848-7-OTPenny-About...A1%7C240%3A1318Stechlin Quote

Just trust the ebay sellers!http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1848-7-OTPenny-About...A1%7C240%3A1318Stechlin"This coin is slightly better than the pictures but it was hard to get the detail with the camera that ive got. No, honestly, the picture tells me everything I need to know! Coins like this go for over £100 on ebay what, 'like this' as in round and made of metal? so grab a bargin! With all my lots you will get exactly what you see in picture, no more Indeed! no less! " Quote
scott Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 yea but only £2.20, cant even properly see the date... Quote
Chingford Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) "This coin is slightly better than the pictures but it was hard to get the detail with the camera that ive got"Have they not considered that might be because there isn't any? Edited February 15, 2009 by Chingford Quote
Rob Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Nice lustre on the index finger though shame about the carbon spot, or is it a mole?On a more serious note, I'm amazed the vendor was able to establish the monarch let alone the overstrike on the date! Quote

On the whole, if you put something decent on then buyers assume there is a catch and so bid low. It's psychology - everyone wants a bargain either by bidding low on the good stuff, or hoping that the washer portrayed in the listing will turn out better in the flesh and so justify the OTT price paid.

The joys of eBay!! Quote

Coppers Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Seeing is believing, but perhaps not in this case....Threepence auction Quote
Chris Perkins Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 What a relief that no-one capable of spending £12k on a coin would be stupid enough to buy what is now nothing more than a piece of earth which used to be a brass threepence! Quote
HistoricCoinage Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Right, so I saw this on eBay today and was intrigued: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...E:X:RTQ:GB:1123I decided to ask as to how the seller came to the conclusion that it was, indeed, 'magical'. I was most surprised by the reply."believed to be dug up in the garden of paul daniels!" Anyway, still think it's a Henry VIII Halfgroat rather than an Edward VI Penny... Quote
scott Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 anyone want to buy a pound?http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/British-pound-coin_W...%3A1|240%3A1318 Quote

Rob Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 If it sells he can spend some of the cash generated on literacy classes. Why are so many people in this country incapable of spelling words, or communicating in general in their own language? Quote
