Ok Peter Are you pulling my leg?  I can find no reference to a "type 2" 1930 penny. To quote different strokes Quote:
What you talkin' about Willis? |

Based on Stevo1962 and Appleangel07's verification that this is the real deal. That raises a question, Why would you sell something like this on ebay? Surely you'd be better off in an "official" auction. Got me stumped. Oh, and now I'm really disappointed that I can't afford this one. I still need a 30 for my set.   |

Hi Peter Thomas What a lovely "one of a kind" 1930 (Type 2) "roo" penny.  "Made in China" on the obverse perhaps ?   Squire Edited by Squire Wilson

I agree completely with stevo, spare cash, buy it & see how you go. Considering those PMD notes that I saw the other day both sold at ridiculous prices, then anything is possible! |

Its overpriced a bit I reckon. Looks genuine to me as well but the colour is slightly strange.

Real, not real. Whatever. $8 for shipping a $40,000 purchase? Really? Really?!?! |

It's often done to make buyers believe a coin has genuine mint red but they end up making the coin look cleaned. |

Looking at some of the other items this seller has, I'd imagine it's purely the yellow glow from a light bulb and it's night time when the pic was taken (hence the bulb being the only light). I'd hardly imagine you'd purposely try to add yellow to a florin. (see below) http://www.ebay.com/itm/1943-Austra...51102304396? |

Genuine for sure. It's such a shame that items like this are treated with such suspicion on ebay. A bit overpriced for sure. If it was mine it would be free postage and I would pay for extra insurance out of my own pocket as the profit margin would be quite healthy. If I had the cash I would buy it as I know that if it was fake there is no doubt I would get my money back anyway. |

Thats for the advice re the lighting walter. I'll have to remember that one.
I didnt see the $8 for shipping lololol if I was foinf ro pay $40k for a coin I would pick it up in person. You can buy return airfares anywhere in the country for under a $1k, surely its worth the peace of mind.

If I was the seller I'd go one step further enworb. The seller would be nuts to rely on the post for delivery of a 40 grand coin.
- the coin could get lost in the post (I have had envelopes delivered that had been damaged and were missing coins).
- the letterbox may be raided.
- a signed for registered letter could be signed for by a another person (they never check for i.d. and they don't read the signature, I have signed as A. Hitler and Ossama Bin Laden without raising an eyebrow).
- the recipient may deny recieving the coin and make a chargeback.
The only secure (for peace of mind) way is for the seller to deliver in person and film the delivery
