Thanks Basil ...... doing tax returns is one thing I don't miss ..... to quote Banjo ..... while he faced the round eternal of the cash-book and the journal.

I have one of these too, but I'm not a collector and I'm not sure what to do with it. I took it to a dealer and he offered me $250 for it, then quickly upped the offer to $300. He confirmed that it was a mule and commented that it had lost most of its mint lustre. Any thoughts?

[JeffH]

•My first thought is that they are generally fetching about twice the dealer offer on eBay.
•My second thought is we need to see some photos to make a value judgement.
•My third thought is very few of those would have much, or any, mint lustre left. I say a ploy by the dealer to downgrade the apparent value -but, to be fair, he has to make a living, pay rent, pay insurance etc. Mint lustre is nice (even desirable) but it is not a major factor in what the coin is worth. Wear and marking (downgrades the coin) and the amount of offset of the rims are more important.

Looking Good so far Uni :good:
With all the recent publicity about these mules and it being Tax return time you should get some determined bidders:yahoo:

Thanks Troutski, fingers crossed!

The last 60 seconds of your listing will be quite interesting I venture to guess

[drewguts]

Thanks to those of you who responded to my query, and sorry for hijacking Unicorn's thread (I couldn't work out how to create a new thread...)
I do have some pics, trying to upload them but I'm not sure if it's working - maybe I'm just having a bad technology day. If I can't upload them here I'm happy to try and pm them to anyone who might be interested.
Cheers,
Drew

drewguts:-   Send me the picture via a PM and I'll d my best to upload it for you.

[Fulvio]

If I can't upload them here

Dead simple.

Go to imgur.com,sign up, then drag and drop them onto your page. Then copy the links (there's even a preconfigured Forum link, though you can just grab the .jpg URL (not the image page, the actual picture) and stick it here, surrounded by img and /img tags) and paste into a reply.

Oh, and Welcome!

Rolling along nicely Uni :good:
