BOYCOTT SPECIAL WEEKLY SWAP (BST) FOR THE WEEK BEGINNING 2/24

SYRACUSIAN · February 24, 2008 2:11AM

Some of you are boycotting ebay , but I had no idea about it and two of my Swiss items are ending tonight

To be fair, 1906-D colorful half mark, choice AU, FS here, ***sold***.

lordmarcovan · February 24, 2008 2:19AM

My stuff's all on coinzip.com, now. More to come later. I strongly entreat you to try it yourself- it is free for both buyers AND sellers. As an incentive for folks to sign up, I am waiving my shipping fees for any new coinzip members. Help me give a new auction site some action. It was launched by a forum member as an eBay alternative, and since everyone seems to be disgusted with the 800-pound gorilla these days, why not give a boost to the new little guys?

ormandh · February 24, 2008 2:22AM

Here are a few!

1823 Empire of Iturbide 2 Reales $200 delivered

1913 Keeling and Cocos 1 Rupee token $155 delivered

Thanks for looking! -Dan

Preussen · February 24, 2008 2:38AM

A few offerings. Prices include Insured shipping within the USA. PayPal accepted. Thanks for looking. -Preussen

Victoria 1887 Jubilee Crown PCGS MS-64. One of the most difficult coins to photograph that I've ever encountered (these are not my pics). Somewhat darkly toned but with some pretty golden-brown on the obverse and slightly more colorful hues on the reverse. Very lustrous and correctly graded
Reduced

$275.

Sweden 2Kr 1932, 300th Anniversary - Death of Gustaf II Adolphus, NGC MS-64 (couple of obverse spots) Reduced

$30

Baden 1871 Kreuzer commemorating victory over France; Extremely scarce "Offenburg" piece. NGC MS-64 BN (small spot & tiny scratch between the R&I in KRIEG are noted for accuracy) Very attractive & lustrous; Seldom offered. $175

Edited to add: Here is another that I almost didn't list because my pic is so poor...maybe I'll learn someday

. Bremen 1871 Victory (over France) Thaler. NGC MS-64. Certainly much nicer than my terrible pics indicate. It's lustrous, but it lacks the booming luster often seen on these pieces; it has the look of having been dipped. Still, quite attractive. Reduced

$100

BS · February 24, 2008 3:09AM

1901 Victoria Florin ex NGC MS65 $130 S&I included

OMG! The spinaker 1/2d collection is being sold?

TwoKopeiki · February 24, 2008 7:55AM

Some nice, scarce Cap'n'Rays listed, along with an interesting War of Independence over-date.

Click Me.

Some pics:

coinkat · February 24, 2008 8:48AM

WOW... some real nice coins here...

satootoko · February 24, 2008 9:02AM

<< <i>My stuff's all on coinzip.com, now. . .why not give a boost to the new little guys? >>

Let me know when someone starts listing Japanese/late 19th-early 20th Century Korean, or Chinese puppet state material. Asian stuff limited to 2 Indian coins and 1 Hong Kong item just don't do it for me.

SYRACUSIAN · February 24, 2008 9:18AM

Fantastic offerings and very friendly priced Terry.

Some more Swiss coins priced lower than in the store, but I'm still open to reasonable offers if you don't like the prices you see:

1947 one franc PCGS MS 67 really nice $120

1920 one franc, green label PCGS MS 68 flawless white $220

1946-B specimen half franc, toned which is highly unusual for sp, PCGS SP66 green label SOLD

1914-B franc PCGS MS 66 beautiful red toning $175

And one from the Heaton Mint collection, a must see in hand coin to appreciate its beauty,
Egypt 1932-H, one mil,glorious golden toned specimen PCGS SP 66RB $220

Hyperion · February 24, 2008 9:39AM

and now, from the shallow end of the coin-pool

1829 100 centimes (haiti - boyer) - $35

1924 Rouble - $60

TwoKopeiki · February 24, 2008 9:48AM

Dimitri, that's a nice toned 1946-B half.

satootoko · February 24, 2008 10:03AM

Dawg144 · February 24, 2008 10:45AM

<< <i>I am always interest in learning something new, so please enlighten me about the good points of that horribly tarnished, spotted ¥1000 silver Olympic commem.

Even without pulling my multiple examples out of the safe to double check, I'm pretty sure they all have more eye appeal. >>

I'm willing to bet that that coin looks awesome in hand. It's probably just such a pain to photograph that you can't get the color, luster and details in there all at once. (And even if I'm wrong...crusty coins are just plain cool!

)

Edited for weird sentence structure.

coinpictures · February 24, 2008 11:53AM

Blackhawk · February 24, 2008 12:49PM

These have close to, if not full lustre...I do not believe that they were circulated and any marks are probably from storage. Both look a lot better in hand than my photos would indicate:

1887 half crown - $75.00 delivered.

1887 double florin (Roman 1) - $75.00 delivered.

spinaker2000 · February 24, 2008 12:59PM

Also, still have this piece.

1897 GB Golden Jubilee Medal in orginal case. A little darker than the pic. $90 delivered.

It's the big 50mm hunk of metal.

Also have a 1902 Eddie VII copper/bronze 50mm Coronation medal (no case) available for $100.

wybrit · February 24, 2008 1:18PM

I have too many to list here, but I just updated my wybrit website. I am selling just about every last florin and halfcrown I have and concentrating on the smaller stuff. Grades range from junk to gem.

Please check these pages and PM me if interested. "Best offers" considered. US insured postage paid for any purchases $100 and over.

Florins

Halfcrowns

Ricke · February 24, 2008 1:55PM

I guess I'll put in a few this week:

1877 20 Sen - no 'tarnish' roy! nice date - $65.00 shipped

1907 50 Sen - $20.00 shipped

1870 Prussia - 2 1/2 silber groschen - $35.00 shipped

I got more listed on my website, and hopefully more coming soon this week, if time permits - I'll be adding some mid-grade spanish colonial issues, and some other nice stuff.

Looking for late 18th century french silver in better grade.

TwoKopeiki · February 24, 2008 2:20PM

I don't know... I like the crust...

Meiji · February 25, 2008 7:10AM

Yes I read that huge thread on the lightside and I actually commented on that thread that such things never happened on Darkside.

I guess it had to happen some day.

I have to side with Coinpicture on this one.

If you have any questions or comments, you should have taken it to Private channels.

There was no reason to "Inform" the public about some gross negligence, since he didn't miss represent it, or overhype the coin.

What you did was give your opinion (Poorly at that) about his coin on a public BST.

lordmarcovan · February 25, 2008 9:34AM

I added some more stuff to CoinZip.com, and will likely continue to do so when I get time. I am actually getting bids and selling a little bit there now, but I know it is all thanks to the Darksiders here. I figure I'll just use that for my BST/Weekly Swap stuff. Why? Because it'll let me use an auction format, for one thing.

spinaker2000 · February 25, 2008 9:49AM

Thank you all for keeping this near the top!!

Now somebody buy some dang 1/2ds!!!!!

lordmarcovan · February 25, 2008 10:20AM

I'd love to, Terry, but I'm freakin' broke, and anyways, you skipped 1901.

(I already have a decent UNC 1901 anyway).

I'm really, really diggin' BS' 1901 florin but have my doubts I'll be able to tempt him with any sort of trade.

Gonna be a lean couple of months for me, it looks like.

Unless I get busy selling... a LOT more stuff.

Doogy · February 25, 2008 1:55PM

the following listed are the price shown, plus $1 to cover shipping. Buy two or more, and the shipping is free. Payment by Paypal please. thanks!

Here are some cufflinks, perfect for those of you that buy Dimitri's stunning Francs and want to wear a reminder of what you collect. these are 1/2 Francs, and are nice looking!

$ 10.00

First time trying the BST. Please forgive any mistakes. Shipping and Handling to the U.S. is $1.00 for the first purchase and 50cents for any added to the first. PM me for outside the U.S. shipping. I am not a professional grader, but I have tried to grade these coins as accurately as I can.
If you are interested in a picture of any of these coins please PM me and I will send to your e-mail.

Thanks for the welcome lordmarcovan, I don't post a whole lot, but I do enjoy reading your stories of metal detecting and such! The Darkside is a great place to be!

Oho! Another silent lurker comes out of hiding! That's always nice!

It's nice in this case.)

FSH: 2008 Silver Britannia in AirTite $26 shipped - SOLD

I've got one final 2008 britannia to offer - this one had some sort of haze on it which I tried to dip off with little success. The coin looks pretty decent under normal light, but under a strong sidelight, the haze is obvious. The coin's not ugly at all, but I'm not interested in keeping it for my collection. The coin would otherwise be pretty nice - maybe a MS66 - (though I don't think with the haze it's worth submitting). Maybe someone else can conserve it better than my attempt.

If someone's interested in a decent - though not gem - example of the 2008 in an AirTite for their collection, I'm offering it for $26 shipped - significantly below the cost of the coin which is $30+$6 shipping from the royal mint. Not at all a bad deal with silver around $19. I'll take paypal.

First PM gets it. - SOLD

ccrdragon · February 28, 2008 4:17AM
