2014 Britannia Mule

[Danny-boy]

Hi all,

Just won a 2014 britannia on eBay, the pictures show it as a mule.

Item number 181504563193

Clever marketing trick to sell standard britannias at a higher price, and claiming stock picture?

Or will I receive a mule for £23?

I guess we will see.

I did send a note saying that the coin he sends me needs to be the exact one in the pictures.

I think you will be good mate, well spotted.

I think you're in with a good chance.

 

The only concern would be that he writes 'I'm selling 4 of this year'.  So you have to wonder whether it's the same photo for all four.  Maybe all four are mules.

Exactly what I was thinking.

It does look like the same pic for all four.

I guess only time will tell.

Buggerit, I was looking at the same auction and I never even spotted that.

 

Should have bid after all.....................LOL

There were 3 or 4 of them. I bid up to £20 on all of them and decided to see what happened. Thankfully I won one.

I often scour for 2014 mules although most know what they have.

I haven't forgotten. I think we have decided to head to Coimbra on Monday as it is the wife's birthday. I have found a link to a coin shop there. Still on the lookout for something unusual/interesting to bring home with me!

Sounds awesome buddy.

Don't worry about getting anything for little old me, we'll sort something out.

Have a great time mate, proper jealous!!!

Well, my £23 coin arrived today, and it's a genuine mule.

Awesome.

[Keithoil]

Wow very well done.

What is a mule? 

[Kman]

Ah don't worry I googled

 

When they have an error

 

& the error on this one is it doesn't have the pattern around the queens head

So how much would this coin cost generally? if it's a known mule and being sold as such

[HelpingHands]

There are mules of Brits and RM horses. Some Brits have the obverse of the RM horses and some horses whave the Brit.

And yes, it's confirmed by the mint.

Lucky indeed - enjoy or sell and with the profit get yourself more normal Brits.

Awesome.

 

Wicked!!! Can I buy it? I'll offer you £25 lol (Only kidding mate!) :P

 

I just bought a little car today. This means I can dash around the place looking at pawn shops and such. I am going to find you something amazing before I come back to the UK. Even if it takes years! lol

I'm bloody annoyed with myself here, because I was looking at the very same auction, and the guy had several similar auctions going at the same time, and i didn't notice it being a mule in any of them.  

 

He sold three of them, for £25.95, £22.95 and £24.96. 

 

Well I won't make that mistake again. .........

I've been scouring 2014 britannias for a while looking for mules people may not have spotted. I'm at 3 now [emoji1]

[Shamatti]

Ha ha! that's brilliant mate.
