goomolique Posted September 17, 2014 Author Posted September 17, 2014 Yeah thats what i thought Quote
azda Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) It also Has many bagmarks. 2nd is slighty better in my opinion Edited September 17, 2014 by azda Quote
goomolique Posted September 17, 2014 Author Posted September 17, 2014 Or maybe someone have seen an UNC one somewhere? Quote
azda Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 They're mostly UNCs on ebay Itsa case of not rushing in and making educated choices Quote
Peter Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Doesn't seem a price.Nice coin.You can see what the hammer price at London coins.Then you have to pay juice. Quote
Peckris Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Second one is about BU so a no brainer in my book, though I haven't studied the prices. The first one MIGHT be ok - i.e. someone who is utterly clueless about setting the white balance on his camera - but I wouldn't take the chance. Quote
damian1986 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Neil (Colin Cooke) has one in his September list. May have gone now but worth asking him.Just a thought but since you're collecting by ruler wouldn't 1887 be the better option? Actually a quick scan of the 1887s listed on eBay and am not endeared to any of them but generally should be able to pick a nice one up cheaper than the 1888. I dealt with the seller of the second coin before and he's alright and good descriptions. Incidentally I have no idea what's going on here. Quote

The price reflects the expenditure incurred on sun-tan lotion. Easy when you know. Quote
