That's the second time that seller has sold that coin.  The first sale got $100.

I've noticed that they seem to fetch more than other offset coins but not sure why

Maybe there are a few keen 2c error collectors out there?

Arh yes,same with the 62 threepence mistrike,no 2 guesses who the high bidder was,looks like the fish is on the hook this time round though.:ireful:

Yes Stevo,the punters are just going mad over them of late,some pennies & halves as well, but the silver errors don't seem to be jumping in leaps & bounds like the copper.:scratch_one-s_head:

Another dodgy seller.It's certainly tough out there for the novice collector

Your probaly right Matt but it does'nt help when someone is jacking the price up in this case at least.

I spent a few hours going through my error coin collection today to look for doubles of 1960 coins for you, unfortunately i only have 3 1960 error coins all up,the ramstrike i showed the other day & a clipped Florin & a clipped shilling,i thought i had a 1960 mistrike threeepence too but can't find it,the mint must have had a good year that year or i've just overlooked them.

So we have a seller re-selling two errors.  The first time those errors sold they sold to a buyer with 83 feedback and the transaction fell through.  Second time they are selling the under bidder on both is someone with 83 feedback.  The whole thing stinks.
