From the description of one of her current items: "I'm letting the rest of mums collection go I would have listed mums penny with these but I dont have to sell that one if I don't want that one may be kept" Hopefully she will be keeping that as an "heirloom" and the item and the story will not surface again. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Unauthenticated-1933-george-v-bronze-type-penny-gap-filler-dirty-bent-read-all/124535324180?hash=item1cfee23e14:g:I4cAAOSwYBRf8Z6b She didn't take long. Relisted with starting price of 10k. "This coin was cancelled at 370 due to the private offers and the amount of good feedback. people saying it could worth alot .. I had a lot of them. So now it's simply going on for the price of a car then a girl will be happy" "but I really can't say if it's genuine i can only tell you what mum told me so it's fifty fifty chance" Edited January 19, 2021 by Sword Quote

Really? That would suggest there's a 50% chance it's kosher. So it's a car now? You may remember, when first brought to our attention, she wanted a daft amount (a million, wasn't it?) for a pound coin featuring a minor production error, because she wanted to buy a fish and chip shop.

They need a million to pay for the chippy because its in middleton - I have been a few times and it would give Jaywick a run for its money on being the most rundown place in the uk. Thats why they breed ebay fraudsters so well there - they just sit on a computer every day and dream up bull*shit. 1 1 Quote

Michael-Roo Posted January 22, 2021 Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) Yes, caveat emptor. Nothing random going on here, and the intention is clear, the fakes have been bought with the intention of selling on at a profit to people who shouldn't be allowed out unsupervised.

The mint have already confirmed this isn't a mistake but the designer's personal interpretation. You have got to laugh. Correct guess! She has finally revealed "her" valuable secret. Apparently she has noticed that The Guardian has reported on 5th January that the design of the HG Wells two pound is not faithful to the novels. She even said "I will be soon letting the cat out of the bag ..and informing sellers that there selling errors " after it has been reported in national newspaper. The Guardian reported "Asked about the errors, a spokesperson for The Royal Mint said, “We have created a new £2 coin to celebrate the life and works of HG Wells. The coin depicts scenes from famous works such as War of the Worlds and the Invisible Man as imagined by designer Chris Costello.” Costello has said he was inspired by “vintage HG Wells book covers and movie posters”." I guess she did that since she has a large stock to sell. Asking price? Just a round hundred. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Massive-error-2021-H-G-WELLS-TWO-2-POUND-BRILLIANT-UNCIRCULATED/124543026219?hash=item1cff57c42b:g:VJQAAOSwpjxgDaXW The Royal Mint is selling the 2021 year set for £55 and it includes the HG Wells £2, Walter Scott £2, pitch fork £2 and a £5 piece etc. I wonder if she think that errors in films make them more desirable!
