scott Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) o great, a rare variaty... that i cant see... i was enjoying watching the 1954 B 50 francs shooting up though cos i remembered i found one for 10p a while ago Edited December 15, 2010 by scott Quote
azda Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 I don't know how you can see a rare variety from those 3, i'm still fairly wet behind the ears, but i wouldn't have paid that amount for them. I like an OBV/REV i can see unfortunately, because those cost Geld Quote

My €25 snipe didn't stand an earthly 1860 with missing colonafter F:DAt the risk of stating the obvious, they are also missing most detail. Presumably there's 200 euros worth of haircut for a start. I can't get my head round this fascination (and money spent) on blocked dies and random dot flaws. Quote

I have you saved as a prefered seller and although I dont see your name in the actual item bidding I can see your feedback score and check it against my prefered sellers list! Quote

My €25 snipe didn't stand an earthly 1860 with missing colonafter F:Dh***i's bid, with one second to spare, has to have been a previously laid snipe. He couldn't possibly have had time to make a manual over bid with just 3 seconds to spare. Bet he's cursing that other late very high bid edit:I confess...

I am suprised that there are any 1860/61 pennies and halfpennies left out there at the rate our friend takes them out of circulation Quote
Bronze & Copper Collector Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 Here's a good one....Talk about excessive shipping rates...ebay item # 330509932583At least it's "signed for" for your protection..... Quote

VickySilver Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 Too bad about the grading, and 831 seems a bit high though 750 perhaps not? Quote
Peckris Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 Too bad about the grading, and 831 seems a bit high though 750 perhaps not? It's not that much better than VF! Perhaps between VF and EF at most. I'd rate it a £250 - £300 coin. Quote

Perhaps between VF and EF at most. I'd rate it a £250 - £300 coin.Reverse looks pretty much EF, but you aren't buying the reverse on a 26ME. I will be charitable and say that the photograph may not do the obverse justice, although the ear doesn't seem to show that much wear. AU though? Hmmm... Quote

Penny should have an upper case P as it's a proper noun. The cost of shipping Penny around the UK is remarkably cheap. The costs to Europe or the rest of the world is roughly the cost of one bum on one seat in a plane. Presumably Penny is a normal person, though I suspect with a 100 examples of her available it might be construed as people trafficking (or an advert for a brothel) Edited December 20, 2010 by Rob Quote
