You would think ud get at least $50 for a $150 coin like you said. Coin dealers would most likely be even worse. I guess you just need to set your reserve higher so that if there is only two people bidding (or worse only one) then you still get a good price. Found anything good lately?

Yeah, just up the reserve mate. Nothing wrong with half crowns! You do need to pop over for a hunt and catchup sometime. Got a few places I wanna check out. Trying some spots other than parks lately, like empty sections that used to house churches etc I havnt found much exciting other than a farthing and a florin.
