Well, it was sold by Saxbys, who have a somewhat interesting sales habit.

I appreciate you're bringing attention to practices that you consider questionable, chaps, but please try not to stray into the realm of libel.

Its funny I was chatting to a friend about this coin before it finished, he said it would be worth a bid if it doesn't go two high as it books over £1000 in F (but it went to high as it would be around the £300 mark to repair!) ...... My mate once had a rare Bristol half groat plugged what cost him £100 but it was a very good job, its not surprising as he does work for the BM.
The plugged half groat has been listed on EBay lately, but not at the moment.

Yes, I noticed that. There are a number of reasons for that, but I'm sure they could be guessed...

Galoshers the James 1st sold at London auctions on the 1/6/14 for £800 - commission with the eBay fees there is very little in it.

The best one at the moment is AMR coins priced at £750 high grade but week portrait ex jewellery.......Im sure there's a few £'s in it if sold on eBay.
