As i said on the other forum,i'd give up my left testy to have this in my collection !
They removed my comment over there >>>> family site & all you know :winkextra:
Don't think there will be any chance of me being able to afford the end price though.
Strange place to sell a very desirable error.
Probably a 4 figure coin at any of the Auction Houses.
Shall watch. (Only)

I'll advise the seller of your offer but I suspect he'd prefer cash to body parts.

ShaneW on CCF seems to think it's worth $10,000. I bet the seller would be stoked to get that for it :)

Wonder what else is lying around?

Saw that beauty just after it was listed. I bid on it and had the highest bid:yahoo:
For about 5 minutes:(
Getting too rich for my pocket and I'm sure the deep pockets will send it up into the 4 figures.
Any way to work out the mint and/or the year?
between 38 and 52 is all I can tell from those pic's sorry, bloody nice coin :(

Well, I guess we already know who the new owner will be,unless someone else is prepared to pay more of course, i'm thinking not though.
and I say between 38 and 52 because you can just see the back of George VI head and if it was George V you'd see crown and if lizzy you'd see her face so that's how I come to that :)

We can even narrow it down a little; legend has F D tather than FIDEI DEF and F is lined up with a denticle so it from 1938 to 1948 and either a Melbourne or Perth Mint coin; but not Bombay.
Thanks Peter, I'm learning all the time :good:
We could shill bid it up for our mate shane?
:laugh2: your a shocker Matty, knowing my luck I'd get stuck with it and have to sell everything I own just for the deposit :-/

I think I'd get murdered if I bid it up to $9750 and then he didn't buy it.
don't worry mate, we'd all come to the wake :friends:
What sort of flowers would you like PP :(

Cauliflowers.
I don't think she'd murder you Mark but I think you would be paying for a very long time :blackeye:
:laugh2: good on ya, I reckon your ears would be like cauliflowers if you even thought about bidding..wouldn't like to be in your shoes then mate, take it you can run pretty fast :winkextra:
It's definately a coin that would fit nicely in my collection.
It needs a friend.

What, you want to live forever? Go on, don't be a wuss... its an awesome error, and PP has a nice little playmate for it already, so it would be right at home... Heck, if I hadn't just blown my life savings I'd even play along with ya! :angel:

does that seller have a shop?
Quote from: 'robbiegal' pid='45547' dateline='1396430750'does that seller have a shop?
He has an office, hence the no pickups condition. He was saying that he's pretty much gotten out of coins since going into precious metals... more money for less hassles. I suspect this was either from his personal collection or part of a job lot he bought to refine. Want me to ask? He's probably read this thread already anyway. ;)
Oh so he is a member? hello there!
just curious as it is good to know where shops are small or bigger - the smaller ones are usually more friendly
Quote from: 'robbiegal' pid='45611' dateline='1396510843'the smaller ones are usually more friendly
I find it has nothing to do with the size of the premises, and everything to do with the personality of the owner actually. Although perhaps the wrong sort of person may well tend to go for bigger and showier, come to think of it... :dodgy:
This finished at $860. A little more than I expected.

I was watching that and those 2 UNC overdates (penny and half) that all finished within a few minutes of each other.
Don't see that many Unc variety coins on eBay very often.

hummm .... and where will that little treasure be posted to?
Well this arrived today. A bit disappointed in it, scuffed on all the high points indicating that perhaps it came out of scrap. Hairlines on one side of the unstruck part of the planchet. Technically it's UNC but probably not something we'd have bought if we saw it in hand. Still it's an interesting error.

AJ identified earlier in this thread as a George VI penny (1938 to 1952). I guess one of the penny-philes may be able to narrow it down based on denticle alignment. I'd probably rule out it being an Indian minted coin, the roo's head looks wrong and the reverse denticles don't look right.
cool, only skip tru posts, didn't put much effort into learning pennies, only that the ones to look for 1930, 1925 etc hahaha
thx FP
eek lost me at Indian minted and denticles, bahaha thx mark
Nice Coin !, whats with the extra flat areas & the denticle patterns a little further up than the actual strike ?
Quote from: 'accumulator' pid='47129' dateline='1398143748'Nice Coin !, whats with the extra flat areas & the denticle patterns a little further up than the actual strike ?
Yes I was wondering that myself. The flat part I understand, it's the top of the collar or whatever is around the die to contain it. The other denticle bits? Maybe they are not denticles, perhaps it's some part of the blank being pushed against bits of the press it was never supposed to be pressed against.

Would you?
I'm reckoning that the mark on the top of the coin on the pic on the right is either an M or and N from the obvers die going off the little flicked up bit, can't think of anything else that would go there..but I could be wrong but I doubt it :laugh2:
also added the V and the X sorry :)
the denticle things looks the same as the obvers as the reverse has those little straight bits between the round bits
