davidrj Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 Not so much a laugh, but how on earth has this 1860 penny 3+D (as far as I can see from the rather low res pics) reached £550 with 15 hours to go? Am I missing something?Looks like 2+D, N over sideways N (Z)... barely visible but the die crack by the date is a giveaway. Not quite as rare as people make out but a nice example and price probably about right...I agree, N over Z, the other clue if you look carefully is the re-entered O in ONE, the two always seem to go together (Gouby 1860 JA). Mine has the same die crack alsoDavidThere's another (low grade) one here if anyone needs an example, once seen they are very easy to spotDavid Quote

Cerbera100 Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 At least she's not said dated 1933... I wonder if they chose a '66 for any particular reason?! Quote

Debbie Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Obviously does not! Bear with me as I am trying to post some new emotions! Quote
Peckris Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Just ignore me ! Nice idea Debbie - even if it doesn't work (I especially like the ROFL one ) Quote

Hiding your dirty deeds behind an anonymous eBay pseudonym Actually I really need a BU 1953. Mine is full lustre but an awful strike and I made a mental note to upgrade it ages ago. If you find a perfect one (currency, not proof), I'll buy it! Quote
ski Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 buy it now price seems a little high. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2011-Various-Olympics-2012-50p-Coins-/320806345593?pt=UK_Coins_BritishDecimal_RL&var=&hash=item76c134a029 Quote
Rob Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 buy it now price seems a little high. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2011-Various-Olympics-2012-50p-Coins-/320806345593?pt=UK_Coins_BritishDecimal_RL&var=&hash=item76c134a029That's silly. The whole set of 29 costs less than £100 from the RM. I can't believe that he has sold 29 partial sets. Quote
Debbie Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 I think that was a typo as further down it says that the whole set is £29. Quote
Gollum Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) I think that was a typo as further down it says that the whole set is £29.Yeah, it also says £1.25 each. But don't the royal mint have these at face price ?. Oh no, £45 the set ( silver of course ), ebay looks cheap now.... Edited December 28, 2011 by Gollum Quote

Don't they do the "normal joe bloggs unc non silver" sets ?. Quote
Cerbera100 Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 Yep, £2.95 per coin - individually packed Quote
azda Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 I think that was a typo as further down it says that the whole set is £29.It actually says £23 for 16 coins Quote
ski Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 maybe £230 is right and all the others are typos Quote
TomGoodheart Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Not so much a laugh as an interesting curiosity. A counterfeit shilling. Now I don't normally recommend these, however this is as far as I can tell, not a modern concoction, but a contemporary (ie 17th century) coin. The design is surprisingly good (I do wonder if ex-mint employees might not have turned their hands to making counterfeits in the war years) though the silver wash is thin and the base metal shows through, it's an interesting piece of numismatic history.Personally I think at £80 it's a bit over priced, but these things are actually very rare. And this is a nice example and not a design I've seen elsewhere.Counterfeit Charles I shilling Quote
