Paulus Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Circumstances dictate that I must sell part of my collection, those coins that I am selling through eBay auctions are listed here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/starling69/m.html?item=201030249069&ssPageName=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 I hope there is some interest, please bid generously! Note - I trust I haven't broken any Forum rules posting this link here, I realise that many members permanently have coins for sale on their own web sites or on eBay, on which I have sold many myself in the past. But this is a significant decision for me, and I think there will be some coins of interest to members Edited February 6, 2014 by Paulus
Coinery Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 I'd be surprised if anyone took offence, Paulus! I know the down-sizing situation only too well, the exciting bit it doing it all again with experience in your wallet!I hope life isn't laying too much stress upon you? I'll do my bit in wishing for happier days if it is!Take it easy out there, Stuart

declanwmagee Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 I saw those, Paul, doing my regular Thursday night newly listed check. I have put plenty of them in my watch list too!
Paulus Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 I saw those, Paul, doing my regular Thursday night newly listed check. I have put plenty of them in my watch list too!Thanks Declan! Yes, the old 'Thursday = 10 days 'til Sunday week' check is the best! It's painful but I need to 'downsize' quite significantly!
Coinery Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) ...or better still, Brandon! - no offense!...in photographing my coins, none of my pics do them justice, and I do try very hard! Brandon who? My photography is a million miles to go, yet, Paulus! However, yes, unfortunately, you're shaving a minimum 25% off your coins' potential on account of your images (I've not looked at your most recent listings to be fair)!How desperate are you? Can I help FOC?You've got my email address if you can think of any other way to do this? Edited February 6, 2014 by Coinery
azda Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) If it helps i believe Chris our Forum leader is looking for stuff. I have bidded on one, Do you have a list of what too expect? Edited February 7, 2014 by azda
Accumulator Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 I think its fine for regular members to put up links to any coins for sale on eBay or elsewhere, Paulus. I've done the same in another thread.
Peter Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Paulus so sad.Don't leave us.....cracking coinsAs a family we have spent many British holidays in Dawlish..gutted....we had our own private beach.Shell Cove.Mrs Peter is in tears
Paulus Posted February 7, 2014 Author Posted February 7, 2014 Thanks Peter, I won't be leaving, or giving up collecting, but I do need to raise funds. I will be resisting selling my very best/favourite coins at the heart of my collecting focus.
Colin G. Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Thanks Peter, I won't be leaving, or giving up collecting, but I do need to raise funds. I will be resisting selling my very best/favourite coins at the heart of my collecting focus. Glad to hear you are sticking around...I have to admit there are some coins I would hate to part with
Chris Perkins Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 If it helps i believe Chris our Forum leader is looking for stuff. I have bidded on one, Do you have a list of what too expect?That's right. What have you got that's for sale and not on eBay?

Paulus Posted February 7, 2014 Author Posted February 7, 2014 If you have any pennies, Paulus…. My only decent ones are 1901 & 1910, the rest are either George V or later or too worn (although who knows, there may be a rare variety in their somewhere!)

Paulus,I will have a look at your farthings for you if Chris is not interested
Paulus Posted February 8, 2014 Author Posted February 8, 2014 I'm intrigued to see the hammereds. I will try and take some half decent pics this weekend
Coinery Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 I'd be interested in your UNC G6 stuff, Paul?
Peter Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 I will only sell my coins when me and Mrs Peter go around the world....When ....I don't know but as soon as the minxes are through education.The farthings will stay.....and turn green.

Paulus Posted February 20, 2014 Author Posted February 20, 2014 Thanks to all or any of you who took an interest in, or perhaps even bid on, any of the coins I sold last Sunday.My final (for now) batch of items has been sent to the slaughter house for auctions ending Sunday 2 March:http://my.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MyEbay&gbh=1&CurrentPage=MyeBayAllSelling&ssPageName=STRK:ME:LNLK:MESXPS - I don't anticipate any forum members will be taking any interest in my Kew 50 pees!

So I can't see your coins.
