what's even stranger is the fact that auction ended at 7.15pm on Sat and by 5.30pm on Monday it's been delivered and feedback left.
Sometimes you wonder why?

ladymayo · 15-07-2014 1:13pm

I had bought other items previous to this and didnt leave feedback when he asked for feedback as he had gave me a good one, so said it best to give good feedback when im going to send it back to him, feeling nervous, what if he insists its uncirculated now???? it hasnt been delivered yet that feedback was for other items

Thank you for your reply, a friend of mine purchased 1 of these on the internet paying over 200 pound thinking he was paying in euros which ended to be a lot more. So at least they will get their money back on this item? Where would be the best place to resell it and is there any site or place you can get a value for bank notes?. Thanks

People on here are sound and are not out to make anything. They give you honest advice in something they have an interest in.

Take close up photos of the notes. Return them (keep proof of postage) and if you don't get credit, report it to ebay and paypal and money will be held. You will get your money back. Just be careful when buying notes as a photo in most cases will show a note up better than it actually is.

ladymayo · 15-07-2014 3:37pm

I know and you have definately gave me advice and im very grateful for it. I didnt tell the whole story first as i was afraid the seller would see this not refund me, as i am new to all this i was afraid after spending that much on it. I had bought a coin set of this seller last week also which was described as uncirculated and theres a rust like mark on one of them, is this right for uncirculated? I would really like to get into these colletables but its a tough one when im starting from scratch, ill be off to bed soon as im on shift work tonight, ill chat to you soon

Is there a market for €100 T series note?

I saw one advertised in used condition for €220? Why....:eek:

The 1985 20p is the rare one. Yours isn't worth all that much, a euro at most. The penny depends on the condition, ebay has them ranging from a couple of quid to 20.

The €500 is supposedly rare and mistakenly they think the €100 is also. The €500 is not rare and most collectors are aware of this as they started to come out from underneath the floor boards as soon as the values were inflated.

Like all notes, unless it's mint condition, I have an old 10 shilling note, but it's worn and tattered, unless it's mint condition, it only has sentimental and nostalgic value, otherwise it's worthless.

Sarbear85 · 18-08-2014 9:51am

Hi Everyone,

Just wondering if you could help me value the below. They are probably worth nothing but may as well check

1998 pound coin
1986 5p
15/10/99 five pound note

Thanks for your help!

The Central Bank on Dame Street will exchange the five pound note and the pound coin for you.

Old is a relative term. To a sixteen year old a 1998 coin might seem old. However the market would say otherwise. Unless you have uncirculated, mint or unusual notes or coin then face values apply. It appears that your hoard is not worth nothing but is worth €7.68. (£6.05 divided by .787564).

Good memory eh?

IMO it's doubtful any dealer here would have much interest in them so the chances are you'd be quite disappointed with any offer they might make. Why not pass them on to someone who might become interested in starting their own collection...

Poor Grandad!

Anyway they're yours to do as you wish.

However, as per previous post the value is what anyone will pay for goods and in your case there are few of the above worth much. Try advertising on Adverts.ie . I'd separate the Diana , D Day , ten bob note and the pre 1947 shillings and maundy money and sell the rest as a job lot.

Good luck

rustymetal · 13-09-2014 4:30pm

Hi everyone

Have a fair amount of coins that I am starting to go through, thought this might be the place to see if any of them are interesting. As for grades some are fine the odd one might be very fine but I am just guessing as I am new to this.

1/2 d

1953x1
1964x2
1966x1

1d
1941 x3
1942x2
1946x1
1948x2
1949x1
1950x1
1961x6
1963x1
1964x1
1965x3
1966x2
1967x1

and finally

1968x27

Any input would be appreciated and apologises for the lack of pics.

pimpmyhat · 22-09-2014 10:29pm

Hi All Im assuming there is no coin grading company in Ireland. Any opinions on how to get coins graded? Ive a few which I believe would grade very well, for example Irish silver half crowns, morgan dollars. Would be interesting to see the grade they would attain, thanks in advance

pimpmyhat · 22-09-2014 10:43pm

Hi Rusty, Im afraid those coins are of little value as they were minted in large numbers. I know they minted 30 million of the 1967 penny. there is a good website Irish coins and values, that will give you the mintage figures and estimated value of every coin. so you will know the rare ones to look out for, hope this was some help to you.

Bring them to the coin fair in October and get them graded and valued for free. I wouldn't bother with those grading companies that slab coins. You've to pay to send them off and get them back and pay the fees to have them graded and slabbed. This just adds an unnecessary expense which you will not get back from Irish collectors or dealers who are more than capable of grading coins themselves.

It may be worth it for very valuable coins or coins that are often forged, in order to prove their authenticity, like the 1943 Florins etc. But otherwise it's a waste of time and money.

pimpmyhat · 23-09-2014 6:09pm

Thanks for your reply, yes I see your point. Im looking for the 1928 irish proof set in the original case would you think it would be available at the fair? I was at the last two but wasnt looking for it at the time

Well I have seen some there in the past but obviously can't say for certain that there'll be any there next time. You've a better chance of finding it there than anywhere else though.
