Sounds a lot to me like the ILLEGAL practice of shill-bidding. Seller has a few mates who build the bidding up to increase the value. Go thru all the procedure to make it seem like a legitimate sale, but really no sale takes place.

What about the final value fee? What do they gain?

Looking at a lot of listings many mention - NO REFUNDS. The way they are worded as well - no date on Queens head side (failing to mention there is one on the other side). The coins which are scarce has no date on the going them at all and are the new version. There are going to be a lot of people paying hundreds for a coin worth just 20p. Get ready Paypal for the chargebacks!!!

I'm not sure the people buying the wrong (right?) coin will be able to do a chargeback? Even the real undated ones are officially worth 20p. If you've bought a 20p, undated on the queens side and you get a 20p undated on the queens side... What dispute could you file?

Can I just say I think that the people selling them are scum and I am not sticking up for them.

can you remeber that since the 20p coin was introduced the date has been on the tails side not the queens head side.

They make that back by increasing the market value of their stock - in theory!

I have one of these coins!:beer: But I am too nervous about putting it on ebay - what if the buyer says it is just an ordinary 20p coin, swaps it for one of his own and sends it back? I have sold loads of stuff (mainly models and toys averaging around £5.00) and have over 3700 feedback at 100%. Am I being paranoid? Or have I being lurking on these forums for too long?:o

Hey, I'll buy it. My dad is a coin expert, so im trying to get in on his passion

Just got very over-excited when I looked in my purse and found what I thought was one of the rare ones - brand new, new design on one side, but on flipping it over it had the 2008 date stamp on the other.

Doh!! :mad:

For a while there I was mentally perusing the cruise brochures .....
