I thought I might have a bid on a couple of those quarters, but it is early days at the moment they have lots of time to run.
It is hit and miss in the UK, there is low supply and generally low demand but when something nice comes along and two people want it then that's all that is needed for the price to go sky high.
Don't go moving over here just yet, we have our own problems at the moment. (You wouldn't like the prices of anything else here that's for certain)

Well, I think I would pay the petrol price if it meant no more dealing with health insurance companies that are only interested in their own profit.

Here you get national health, but be prepared to die waiting for an operation... get better before your doctor can see you and pick up superbugs if you visit hospital...
Everything has its pro's and con's.

The 1921 half is a hole in my album

American and Canadian coins are still fairly easy to find in the UK if you know where to look and have a trap line. Some of the nicest pieces I have acquired for inventory have come out of the UK over the last thirty plus years. The reason is twofold ,one is the fact that there were two world wars that had a few million troops on UK soil and second the transatlantic trade route was very important in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

That 1917S was a tie clip or something ex-jewelry.

I'm suspicious of the 1921 quarter and half .... So am I. They both have marks that I don't normally see on coins, such as the heavy dies gouges on the 1921 Half reverse. |

Suspicious ... Quote:
What makes you think that? Initially, it's the listing. Why such low starting prices, and why not get such high grade coins certified? Compare the seller's 1921 half to another, known genuine, high grade piece ... Look at the differences in the letters and numerals ...     Some close-ups ... seller's first, certified second ...     Notice how crisply struck and rounded in appearance the numerals and letters are upon the seller's "coin." His 1921 "quarter" has a similar look. Furthermore, both pieces have a polished look about them. Anyone else care to chime in?  Edited by ExoGuy

Well I hadn't seen this latest information but I decided to have a look through this guy's feedback.
In the 'in the past year' bit where you can't see the details, he has sold one 1921 quarter and one 1921 half, funnily enough in adjoining sets of feedback to the same person for £346.00 and £746.89!
Must have a drawer full of them.
Bidders be very scared!
