At today's spot price, it wouldn't make £15.

Something is off in the description... If it's 11 mm in diameter, and half a gram in weight, it's gotta be thinner than bible paper.

Seller displays postage as £29.99?! And has a big long explanation why he charges so much. Seller sounds like way too much trouble to me.

Nice...it might fool somebody who gives you no more than melt for it.  But it gets better. Did you see his shipping costs within the UK? GBP 29.99--over twice melt value.  If your time is that valuable, don't you have more important things to do? Edited by DVCollector

You can report him to ebay for those shipping charges... that's basically an attempt to evade ebay's fees, and their rules don't allow excessive shipping like that. If he's really insuring, he has to provide proof, etc. |

Going by his feedback,he just puts it in an envelope and mails it.

Maybe he wraps the coin in a £20 note?  |

Thats one of the oldest tricks in the book. Shame upon those sellers who are wishing to profit from shipping. Agosos, if you want to buy something British, coin, and Football related, go for a 1996 Comm. 2 Pounds United Kingdom. It has an awesome ball design on it. Check ebay out for pictures.
