A littly baggy on the obverse but with very strong lustre. Free to a good home.

If your giving it away I am more than happy to pay the postage costs to The Gold Coast?
This would give me a good guide to coin grades.

Yes I drop in probably twice a day to look and learn don't post much unless I have something of interest.
well hi there anyways!!! :d_sunny:
I drop in most days but i'm such a chatterbox that I end up posting
I should be quieter!!
Dissapointed to see a member profiting from a kind offer of goodwill from this forum.
OK while I don't like to single out members here I find what has happened to this coin to be in particularly poor taste. It was given away in good spirits by generous member and now is being offered for sale by the recipient. I understand that it's his/hers to do with as he/she wishes but still, it's poor form. I am not he only one to think this, it has been pointed out to me by several members of the forum AND the original person who gave the coin away.

If anyone responds to this thread I suggest they consider very carefully what they post. I do not want this to turn into a flame war and I'll delete things I don't like the look of. I do, however, invite a response from the member who is selling the coin.
Here's a PM I just received from a member (edited slightly to protect their identity)
QuoteHi Mark.
It is unfortunate that emu666's generosity was abused the way it was But that shouldn't stop people from giving the odd coin away from time to time. We ALL are not "Jaded" by what happened and I hope the practice of sharing with other collectors doesn't die out.
Cheers
AForumMember.
hmm each to their own I guess, that's why I don't put my hand up for coins unless it for my collection.
I also help sell peoples coins (forum members) if they don't have that option or don't know how to get rid of their spares, and they get the $ for it, they can even watch it sell too
but to get a free coin and sell it for profit.. that not right, I would have just passed it on if I didn't need it, make a newbie very happy

That's very true, but its rather rude, not to mention silly, for this to happen as it has here. If only because this forum has quite a reputation for spotting things out there that are
'Not Quite Right'.
I would hope this was simply an oversight, and not a deliberate play on the generosity of forum members. What happens next will tell us which it was, and I hope the answer unruffles emu's feathers, and washes the bad taste out of al our mouths.
Hows it an oversight? Generous person donated coin, recipient selling it..Bad taste still in mouth.

Yep, how I see it as well!
I have several coins here at the moment that have been given to me by forum and non forum members.
I would feel very guilty to sell these "gifts" but I would not hesitate to pass them on to someone who really need it/them at no cost and then to advise the giver what I had done.
I can remember when I forwarded some coins to a forum member that he/she had asked me to get for him/her. I went to the show, got the coins and passed them on at cost with no inflated price.
The next thing the coins were up on ebay at a greatly inflated price.
Never again did I accept orders from that person.
Sorry, that's just me.

Perhaps I'm overly generous, but I can imagine mistakes being made, and prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt. I have a forum member who owes me about three grand worth of coins, and I'm still hopeful I haven't been stiffed, that its just down to real world complications. Life does that kind of thing to us sometimes.
Yes, it leaves a bad taste, but I'm not quite ready to write people off until all the facts are in. Call me naive if you like.
Regardless, the seller's reaction will be most telling.
QuoteCall me naive if you like.
I don't consider it Naïve to hope for the best in people Fulvio, I would consider that you have a generous and forgiving nature thinking that way Mate :ok:
I tended to side with fulvio and give the benefit of the doubt (Initially ) but seeing that this has been relisted after all the comments made about this, it is just rude and insensitive.
Why not simply poke a stick in emu's eye .
This bloke is a great asset to the forum and a bloody nice human being to boot, He hasn't posted since this event and quite frankly I don't blame him one iota.

Maybe we should all bid on it & see how high we can get it to.

Relisted? Seriously?
Do I need to update my scumbag file? :(
QuoteDo I need to update my scumbag file? Sad
No need for that fulvio , As this is such a rare occurrence amongst the civilized collectors on this forum it can be committed to memory :ok:
OK, I think we've all made our point here. Closing this thread again.
