Coinaholic73 Valued Member United Kingdom 298 Posts	Posted 11/27/2012 07:17 am Call me Mr Cynical, but doesn't this seem a bit dubious? http://www.ebay.com/itm/MIXED-LOT-O...em2c6a2ed723 Look at the 2nd picture. Zero pointer, don't no 'nuthin bout coins'... anyone want to place bets that you don't receive every coin shown in that 2nd pic? Report this Post to the Staff

Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2135 Posts	Posted 11/27/2012 08:43 am Don't assume that those nice Victorian coins are sovereigns or half-sovereigns. There are medalets that look awfully similar but are made from brass or white metal. Report this Post to the Staff

BLadd Pillar of the Community United Arab Emirates 557 Posts	Posted 11/27/2012 10:53 am I understand by the description the seller doesn't know anything about the coins he/she is selling. Also indicated was no questions were to be asked, but, I wonder if I asked if the coins are all indeed round? Think my question would be answered? Report this Post to the Staff
Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2135 Posts	Posted 11/27/2012 11:25 am What use would that be ? You can see one, at least, isn't. He's stated he doesn't know about coins, so there's no point asking which countries or denominations are included, or asking about grading. I don't think he's closing the door on questions, just on questions that only a coin collector could answer. Far more useful would be to ask him how many coins are there.

fioti Pillar of the Community United States 4212 Posts	Posted 11/27/2012 1:13 pm I think it will close around GBP 8 or so. You've got about a lb. of a decent mix, the Lincoln looks out of place, though. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinaholic73 Valued Member United Kingdom 298 Posts	Posted 11/27/2012 7:51 pm up to 36 GBP, someone is either going to get a bargain gold sovereign or get stung for a fair bit of cash for a brass token. Report this Post to the Staff
