Mongo Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Going by the prices on Tony Claytons website, the price does not seem that bad pies? Unless I have missed something on that listing Quote
Nick Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Spink book price is £300 in EF, so it's in the right ballpark. Quote
pies Posted July 27, 2012 Author Posted July 27, 2012 As you were gents Note to self stop buying EF 1909 florins cheap Quote
argentumandcoins Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) It would be in the ball park if it was EF, sadly it looks like a raggedy assed GVF complete with rim nicks, edge knocks and scratches to me. Edited July 27, 2012 by argentumandcoins Quote
Coinery Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Edward VII always seems to achieve good money in the better grades on eBay, just one of those monarchs I guess! Quote
Peter Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Only 2 bidders were willing to part with over £80.It very nearly crashed and burned. Quote

I may have to give you a wish list so you can be my personal shopper Quote

I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing a good quality picture of that on the forum! He who dares wins, Rodney (sometimes)! Quote
Peckris Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 It would be in the ball park if it was EF, sadly it looks like a raggedy assed GVF complete with rim nicks, edge knocks and scratches to me.I would rate it EF but you're right about the general ugliness. Someone paid way too much IMO. Quote

Someone paid way too much IMO.Yes, I'd go with EF or around that, but it's a fairly poor photo and could be lower. I think my valuation would be round about what pies offered, so somebody may well have got carried away. Quote
