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.

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)

Hi 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

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

[Fulvio]

I understand that it's his/hers to do with as he/she wishes

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.
