Brings back memories, I lived in Bimini for a while. 
Whats the red bits are they just parts of felt or glued to the coin somehow, or can they be dusted off?

And sorry for the questions, feel free to pm me, but what does 24hours after last bidder mean.
Is there a finish time (ie in 14 hours or will it finish if the last bid goes over a 24 hour period? 

£45

Thanks for your bid you are currently in the lead with £45. 

Thanks for the questions. The red bits are just part of the felt which is very crumbly, they can be dusted or blown off. The coins have been handled however and do have some grubby fingerprint marks on them. I cannot see any major scratches or dings on the coins but am classing these as impaired proofs and would label them as bullion on this basis. 

To clarify the format: your bid of £45 at 9:50am has reset the clock. The current end time is now 9:50 am tomorrow on the 28th Nov. If someone bids in the interim the clock is reset. Ie if someone bids £46 at 7pm tonight, then the timer is reset and will end 7pm tomorrow. Hope this clarifies it! I've done it this way to prevent sniping and fallout, this way everyone gets a chance to bid. Feel free to ask any more qs! 

 

As it stands this item is due to end 9:50am on 28.11.2020. Price is £45.
