karloning Valued Member Australia 401 Posts	Posted 12/09/2020 11:14 pm Always on the look out for a bargain but had to pass on this one https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/gre...n/1263242443 And - has anyone had evidence of people doing a paint job on the 2012 Red Poppy coins. There are a few ads selling at good prices but all seem to be erratic in the red centre. https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/cra...n/1263220953 Edited by karloning 12/09/2020 11:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I believe that yes some of the red poppy would have had their paint flake off quite easily, resulting in something like this. Report this Post to the Staff

triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 9375 Posts	Posted 12/10/2020 03:45 am The coloured section on the poppy coins does look to have flaked paint, but the centre doesn't look raised like the non coloured version. Would like to see a clearer picture. Steve :) Report this Post to the Staff

Just absurd prices for all coins. I've only purchased a few coins off Scumtree as most coins are listed at stupid prices or higher than Fle a bay which charges 11% sale fee. Example of absurd price for a non-damaged coin: https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/bel...n/1262460777 "Fetching $900 on ebay" Scumtree reminds me of Obi-Wan's description of the Mos Eisley Spaceport - "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious" Edited by David Graham 12/17/2020 5:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff
