Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 02/19/2023 5:27 pm I came across an ebay auction for four very nice Victoria pennies. The opening bid was $9.95. I put in a bit for more than that, not thinking I had a chance of winning the auction, and watched it for the next several days. When it ended, I was shocked and very pleasantly surprised that no one else bid on the coins and I won them for the $9.95 opening bid. The $10.95 shipping was more than I paid for the coins. Here is the auction link, followed by the auction photos and my photos of the four coins I received, an 1887, 1892, 1900 and 1901. https://www.ebay.com/itm/364129010041 Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

Landyman New Member Australia 25 Posts	Posted 02/19/2023 8:34 pm It appears the seller made the mistake of limiting the auction to USA mail addresses only. This would have excluded the more obvious buyers' area and prevented broader market penetration. I'm sure plenty of other bidders would have driven the price higher (including me) had it been available more broadly. Report this Post to the Staff

ttkoo Pillar of the Community Australia 2521 Posts	Posted 02/20/2023 4:38 pm Absolute stunners. My fave is the 1892 reverse. The whole surface is (IMO) more balanced and easy on the eye. A fantastic pick up. The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient. Report this Post to the Staff
