I still get them, they are very distracting!?

[greendragon]

just a quick point about EBAY

most of you may know by now....but for those that don,t

only make an offer if the item accepts offers

DONT message the seller and make an offer as the new rules mean you will have your account suspended or worse

they view messages about price,phone numbers,email addresses etc as circumventing their fees

the system is automated and picks up on key words

1984 anyone?

[JunkBond]

ahh no!

Really? Light hairlines on obverse in his description, tread carefully.

Although it’s the scarcer 12 pearl variety, apparently?

Yes, not a perfect example and would not pay asking price, do you know of any other 89's for sale as a comparison?

I see, I wonder it the eBay one really is 12 pearl, or just like this one has a barely visible 13th pearl?

Im browsing with a phone and can’t tell.

32,000 mintage and rare in any case, £1000 in Marsh price guide.

Just passing a rainy Easter Friday in all honesty but would like a 89 in my date run.

No ‘89s but have some others may be of interest

should be classed as treason.

that's one reason for getting brand spanking new proof sovs on issue and squirreling them away, the total numbers only go one way

[FlorinCollector]

I was thinking you could offer a low amount and get a bargain with some of his offerings but couldnt really do anything with them. Dont think conservation can save these yet ??

Monday again.
