Sylvester Posted April 10, 2004 Posted April 10, 2004 i hope that the colour inversion he's got on there and that's not the real colour of the coin...I dunno what he means by 'wonderful condition' but i guess he means as 'wonderful' considering it as a wreck find... which i am inclined to agreehttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...7&category=4399 Quote
Master Jmd Posted April 10, 2004 Posted April 10, 2004 i think it may be a good buy, but it is a bit 'green/blue' coloured...and seeing this:they have obviously got lots more of them coins... Quote
Sylvester Posted April 10, 2004 Author Posted April 10, 2004 That's half the appeal... treasure/wreck/archaeologyMuch more so trhan the coin, but it does so appear that the coin is the right denomination, right time period and in better condition than mine (that's if it's not green) it's just the price i'm a bit concerned about, it'snot like these things are rare...

Master Jmd Posted April 10, 2004 Posted April 10, 2004 That's half the appeal... treasure/wreck/archaeology sound like you should be a archaeologist....Much more so trhan the coin, but it does so appear that the coin is the right denomination, right time period and in better condition than mine (that's if it's not green) it's just the price i'm a bit concerned about, it'snot like these things are rare... ...if i were you then i would see how much the price gets too when there is 10 mins left...if more then £30 then leave it Quote
Sylvester Posted April 10, 2004 Author Posted April 10, 2004 £30 sound about right, wouldn't go much over. (i'll probably forget to look till it's over), i will do some research on this wreck though just to make sure the bloke's got his facts right, (and not made it up! does happen you know, some of these 'shpiwreck coins' have nothing to do with a shipwreck at all, just inventive selling).And as it happens i do have an A-Level in archaeology. (nearly did it as a degree too, but proffessional archis don't get paid much, if they can even find steady employment). Quote
Emperor Oli Posted April 10, 2004 Posted April 10, 2004 I got a magazine through from either the company you love-to-hate, Westminster or the Mint selling Chinese porcelain from a shipwreck. on second thought it sounds more Westminsterish than the Mint They werre selling saucers and cups and little figurines for hundreds of pounds. Absolute rubbish...... Quote
Emperor Oli Posted April 10, 2004 Posted April 10, 2004 That's magnificent and a bargain at the price! Quote
Sylvester Posted April 10, 2004 Author Posted April 10, 2004 That's magnificent and a bargain at the price! i've seen that already! Quote
Emperor Oli Posted April 11, 2004 Posted April 11, 2004 Unless he's called footandankle (which I doubt!) he hasn't got it unfortunately Quote
Sylvester Posted April 11, 2004 Author Posted April 11, 2004 Unless he's called footandankle (which I doubt!) he hasn't got it unfortunately nope, the internet hours ran out... i couldn't get on again till one past midnight. Quote
Sylvester Posted April 11, 2004 Author Posted April 11, 2004 also at the price it went for i wouldn't have gone that high anyhow. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted April 11, 2004 Posted April 11, 2004 I know Footandankle very well. He's a Dr in the Lake district. Good customer of mine for both coins and accessories. Quote

Chris Perkins Posted April 11, 2004 Posted April 11, 2004 I have no idea, perhaps he's a chiropodist. Quote
