I also quite like the error silver Hay Internment token, and the proof 1910 threepence that will apparently be sent to auction in London if it doesn't sell for enough, even though the listing has started at 99 cents!

Any yet people have bid that 3d up to $190.  Sometimes I wonder where mankind is heading with that sort of behaviour.

My favourite part of the listings: "I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING FOR A LONG TIME BUT I STILL GET GRADING WRONG SO   PLEASE GRADE FROM PHOTOS"

This might be a genuine statment , The seller may have only bought TPG graded coins before and may have no Interest/Knowlage about how to grade.:nea:
Just looks like a genuine seller has gone to the "Dark Side":dodgy:

Only specimens were produced of the 1911 coppers. That isn't one of them.

I think I'll turn bad and sneaky.  And then, by the end of the month I should be able to afford a 1930 penny
