<p>[QUOTE=&quot;offa the saxon, post: 5245110, member: 110289&quot;]Auction sites such as eBay are responsible for driving up coin prices, every get rich quick person seems to have settled on coin collecting and asking ridiculous prices for relatively common coins such as the 1971 UK 2 pence piece which has created an urban myth that it is extremely rare (almost 2 billion minted). These are being advertised at up to £5000 when in fact it is the commonest of all the 2 pence coins. New issues are another source of income for these profiteers whereby they bulk buy multiple coins from the mints and immediately put them on eBay for three times the issue price. Hopefully one day these leeches will slither off to another area to screw genuine collectors out of their money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
