If you have the ebay listing # - for items sold since mid 2014 - you usually can find the partial listing (usually including one photo) at ListingsHistory.com -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ |

I've seen those 'sets' of UK pre-decimal coins mounted as displays in souvenir shops in England - they are just common-date coins (no silver) that have usually been cleaned and polished. Gift shops at Stately Homes and castles sell them as souvenirs of 'Olde England'.

My local charity shop had a set; coins not cleaned, just taken out of circulation. £15 !!
They've got no idea. I've offered my services free of charge in the past but they say they have an expert already helping them.

Actually, I think that block of slate would be a really cool way to display a set of lower grade miner's association Conder tokens.
For the other one, I wonder if the seller was just being lazy? I have some coins in 2x2s that are clearly very old (like a BU Morgan for $15). Is that a fair price for the coin?

If the seller was lazy, he could at least put another 2x2 around the coin. Nevertheless, if the date is converted to cents and added to the price, then it's suddenly a fantastic deal, methinks.  |

That's funny about that flip. It took me a minute to get it because I'm so used to the seller putting a high price on the flip and a lower price on ebay to make people think they are getting a great price. Then it finally dawned on me he had it exactly backward. |

Your link isn't taking me to the listing. Can you post the pictures?
