Scroll up the thread, Richard. It's further up.

Thanks Mick. Due to my lousy broadband, that picture wasn't showing yesterday evening. Today it's fine.

I'm adding it to my rare penny site - can someone tell me about its provenance, e.g. was it advertised/sold on Facebook ?

Don't worry, I've just seen the Facebook entry.

The ones I wanted (although I was about to cash in my £2k's worth of premium bonds to get them) were the 1856 OT in A UNC/GEF, and the 1897 F148 high tide UNC with 70% lustre.

 

I would like an 1897 F148 as well, in a decent grade. I do have an 1856 OT, though not for sale. So I have signed up for the newsletter now. Thanks for mentioning it.

I must sign up too....sounds like there are some good coins on his lists...I couldn't find anything on line.

Was the F148 expensive?   Pricing this type of rarity must be very difficult....

The number of times I've just missed out on getting a decent F148 is getting ridiculous. I've also got an 1856 OT, but only in fine.

£975, which for an UNC with 70% lustre isn't at all bad.

You won't find anything on line for Dave Craddock. He's a bit old school and doesn't have a website - e mails out his lists about once every 4 or so months.

I'm at work at the moment, but when I get home I will send you his e mail address and phone No so you can get added on. Unless somebody does it in the meantime.

It's actually a very nice coin even without the attributes, and silly price.

I don't think it's a repaired 8.

All the numerals are doubled, like this one, die 'bounce'.............not a repair.

Yes, so why lie about its attributes ? I think we know why.

Good shout, Paddy - I bet that's exactly it!

Wonder if the original high bidder got cold feet as a result of the forum or Richard's website?

I see the new listing has now got a bid... which removes the offer option, but I will keep watching to see what it finally makes. I still wouldn't be surprised if it goes for silly money "just in case", in the mind of an ignorant punter!

 

He has...

Now at £30, with 18 bids, and just under three days to go...

Who fancies a sweepstake on its final silly sale price? I will say £250. Anyone else fancy playing?!😜

I'll go £95

Looks a bit like yours, Pete.

I was going to sell it privately but after speaking to a couple of penny experts / dealers they informed me due to its rarity and grade it was hard to determin a price and to put it in an Auction.
