Beeston1990 Valued Member United Kingdom 109 Posts	Posted 08/06/2015 6:11 pm It amazes me when coins like this achieve ridiculous prices. I sold a job lot of error coins, about 30 in all, and there were 2 of these! I got £950 for the lot and was happy! I know these don't normally fetch more than £50 or so.. as usual, media gets hold of something and the idiots come along... At least this appears to have gone towards a charity Report this Post to the Staff
