Given the seller's feedback it might well be a special coin but I am not too sure. Just spotted this post. You know, I'm sure that it was a 1912H that Tony Crocker put on Ebay years ago that I was watching, and it went for a ridiculous amount. I was chatting with him on the phone, and asked him why it went for such an amount, and he said that the buyer said the nose was "different"....we both couldn't see it..... Quote

Very easy way to tell a 1926 ME from a 1926 regular - the lower colon dot after "GRA" is much closer to the A than on a regular. 1 Quote

blakeyboy Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 I narrowly missed out- I spat my coffee out when I first saw it. When it was up over £100 within a day I contacted the seller and advised him to remain calm- we had a good chat over the next few days and he said he was hoping for £5-6, and was quite stunned. I expected it to do over £1000- who knows what the winning bidder had as their maximum.... Quote

I knew from his other listings that he wasn't selling stuff he thought to be amazing, and would be stunned by how this one lot went. I've been there- I had a whole pile of old audio gear on Ebay a few years ago, and one valve amp went mad-it was, unknown to me slightly different to the common ones. I had one guy contact me and advise me what was happening, and his advice was so useful- I had so many comedy offers to Buy It Now ( just like the penny seller had! ) and I was advised to let it run, and an amp that i thought would be £150 went for over a grand, thanks to him....

blakeyboy Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 An interesting question to ask is why did the penny sell for less than half what It would go for at auction? What forces are at work that makes the Ebay coin seem less worthy? Is this true of all coins on Ebay compared to say, LCA? Quote
