Any PH coin collectors? Because I am baffled

[The Hypno-Toad]

If you are a coin collector, it would appear that you have a confusing hobby particularly when it comes to values.

I read an article a few weeks about valuable 50p pieces and I thought I'll have a look in the penny jar and see what I have got. And there I find I have a Battle Of Hastings and Benjamin Bunny versions both of which according to the article I read are meant to be very rare and the Battle Of Hastings coin is especially sought after and fetches big money.

So off I go to eBay thinking I'll be to order that 30th Anniversary MX-5 that I want shortly, put the details into the search box and discover that both of these coins are being sold for...… £1.00.

Basically the values on these things seem all over the place so can anyone point me in the direction of true values of these two coins.

Thanks in advance.

Which article?

if it was in the daily express, there’s your answer to the veracity. And if eBay is the source of the ‘values’, well...

Can't remember where the article was from because it popped up on my FB profile but certainly wasn't the usual suspects (Express/Mail.)

But it does show you how hobbies differ. For instance, I find that eBay is a very good way to value the 1/43rd diecasts I collect.
