53HRA Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Ok i get back in from work as you do,and came down with that excited feeling of opening parcels that are RC related Anyway i purchased this Tamiya thingy from China which arrived as so: Now as i was opening the package i ripped it all away but on the side of the box appeared this: A 1873 coin!!? I've eBayed the name and i'm getting various responses - One advert had it listed for $195! I will email the seller as i'm guessing it must be an error,but how on earth did it happen in the first place! The item was wrapped into foamy stuff,so the coin would have been obvious... Also does anyone know anything about the coin itself? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewan.Mackay Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Why would you message the seller, they made the error so its their problem. Personally I'd sell it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huktonfonics Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 They look identical, besides the number 5 on the bottom of the Shield side, one has a squiffy tail on the 5 and one has a perfect 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoothybb Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Well spotted. No M & B either either side of the L5 either actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huktonfonics Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 There's a R instead on the left of it. It's mad how the little things add value, must of been one of those mistakes that was rare or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
