Half Penny Jon Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 Gold.When I went onto ebay.com, I found this seller who is selling the most wonderful collection of gold I have ever seen: Quote
Emperor Oli Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 Have you seen he want's 20% comission!PfffLoads of nice stuff, we don't get that on ebay.co.uk Quote
Emperor Oli Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 ...getting remarkably good prices I hasten to add! Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted May 23, 2004 Author Posted May 23, 2004 You mean people are actually BUYING churchill crowns! Quote
Emperor Oli Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 I saw a lot of eight I think go for £10 which I thought was a super price! Quote
Sylvester Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 that's a very good price, over a £1 a piece!!! Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted May 23, 2004 Author Posted May 23, 2004 I didn't think that anyone would pay over 25p (their face value) for them. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 Blimey, I'd better get mine when next in the UK before the Churchill Crown bubble bursts! Quote
Sylvester Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 i'm not sure if they are still legal tender or not, they are predecimal you know. I heard someone say they definately weren't, but i don't recall them being demonetised. Quote
Sylvester Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 i say we destroy a few hundred thousand, no one will notice. Quote
Geoff T Posted May 24, 2004 Posted May 24, 2004 i'm not sure if they are still legal tender or not, they are predecimal you know. I heard someone say they definately weren't, but i don't recall them being demonetised. Yes. all post-1816 crowns are still legal tender. The letters patent of 1971 specifically refers to coins of 5/- being redefined as coins of 25p. Post-1902 crowns have always had an odd status anyway; they're principally commemoratives but can be used as legal tender. That's true of the current £5 coins as well. Therefore, unless they are formally demonetised at some stage, crowns remain currency. Now try spending your Churchills in ASDA... Quote
Chris Perkins Posted May 24, 2004 Posted May 24, 2004 I tell you what gets on my nerves, and it happens a lot....People assume that because modern Crowns have a £5 face value, that the old Crowns must do too. People actually want 5 whole pounds for their churchill etc crowns!Of course when I tell them the actual 25p truth I rarely hear anything back, which normally is quite rude, but on those occasions, I don't want the bloody things anyway!

GDJMSP Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 Have you seen he want's 20% comission! If you don't wish to pay the 20% ebay commission - then don't. Just go to Goldberg's home site Goldberg Quote
