    They're not. It's not the rare "higher tide" variety, so someone did not stumble on to a bargain there. I got this one from a good UK seller for much less (and that is surprising).

    I know it's the same whine as always, "where are these people when I am selling????"

    I saw a red 1896 1d today for $50... it was red but I still thought it was 63 or 64 at best.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    $50 is not far off the mark.

    Prices for these:

    1896:
    Marles - £8 EF, £30 BU
    Spink - £10 EF, £45 BU

    1897:
    Marles - £6 EF, £20 BU
    Spink - £10 EF, £45 BU
