<p>[QUOTE="Bradley Trotter, post: 5235147, member: 101226"]As for me, there is one coin that has persistently got away from me, and that coin is a Great Britain 1821 Shilling. For those that don't collect British coins, the 1821 Shilling is a one-year reverse type like the 1853 Quarter and Half Dollar. It is also quite a common coin in higher grades. However, with my budget, an evenly circulated example is much more budget-friendly. I've lost several online auctions for this particular coin in the past few years, which has made it a white whale of sorts for me. The funny thing is the last time I bid on one of these, eBay made me confirm my bid twice, and nobody else bid on it at the last minute. I would've won it, too, if it wasn't for eBay asking me to confirm my bid after I had already confirmed it. Adding insult to injury, eBay has never again made me confirm my bid twice on an item.</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="4">Great Britain 1821 One Shilling - George IV 1st portrait; 1st reverse</font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4">Not the same coin I bid on. </font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1217341[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
