Not really gold but my wife wanted this
So I asked the Limey if I could bid ( he as zero offers sofar and there are about a dozen americans selling this)
Limey said NO
He said only English could bid
Well I will watch with intrest whether he sells or not
He or She should change their name into IF I growup which is not certain
In the meantime a german woman ungraciously allowed me to be the highest bidder and then talk to me when I am the highest bidder . These ebayers have a rude awakening coming the following years

A new grade is made
MS58  
And the vendor is serious about is MS58  
It looks quite overgraded at that , quite circulated

An amazing rarity in Mint State 58 as over here there is NO such grade. I could live with a AU-58 grade but I do get so sick of reading all the Ebay hype of rare! Rare is defined as "Highly valued due to uncommonness" or "Infrequently occurring; uncommon," which does not apply to most coins in the world. When an Ebay seller titles his auctions with rare I know it is a con before even opening the auction.

Here is a bigger con for people who do not read past the first screen and don't scroll down
Who knows what 100 mills is I seem to remember it is millionth of an inch thick

Maybe that is what I really am an MS Clunker? Nah, probably just another AU clunker!

For real eye appeal in gold you need to be an MS64 plus or a smooth XF or lower

Now look what Gibraltar did to Europe on the bull
They sank a 30 grams copper capsule in the middle of a 20 grams gold ring
Why make so big a piece of shit ? 50 grams at 40% gold only ?
And what a tame fairy design

AND they put clothes on her! What were they thinking?

Yes the " Brittish" are still quite prudish as well as the "American"
When I was in Daytona beach florida they asked money to drive your car onto
the beach and they backed their halftrucks or station wagons straight into the
ocean ; dangling their feet in the water and having crates of beer beside them
At the same "time" in Ibiza I wandered by accident onto a full nude beach and
all beaches were topless the girls running excercises topless 
I learned german by watching uncensored films when all europe was still
using those ugly blacked out circles  that was like1963 ish
