    kimchi got a reaction from Zhorro in 2022 Platinum Jubilee SOTD Sovereign   
    Especially as it looks like Charles and Willy will be leading the Jubilee weekend celebrations.
    Or perhaps they'll want to keep the focus on the Queen? A Platinum Pudding privy perhaps?

    Yeah this was a mistake on the RM's part. It puzzled me why they'd of put it there and I know annoyed a few who were after it but couldn't find it where it should have been. They made several errors like this too with the annual sets released on Tuesday showing wrong photos which misled a number of people who have since cancelled their orders.

    Also saw it available release day but I don't have anywhere near enough confidence in these to spend out on the more expensive gold or larger silver proofs. Too many variations and who knows what is still to come this year.

    kimchi reacted to GBStacking in First Pour!   
    I know absolutely nothing about pouring, but it doesn't look like a bad piece for a first attempt. If it's something you plan on doing more of, I'd be tempted to keep it for posterity. It might also be a useful reference to yourself so you can compare your progress.

    Completed my first silver pour this morning, not sure whether to keep it or try a re-melt.
    Thanks to backyard bullion for some advice.

    I dunno what to say really. I wrote and they replied calling me a 'broody winker'
    No idea how they got my recent medical history, let alone the court records (I thought the judge had put them under umbongo)

    You haven't heard? The Harry and Meghan coin is no longer available at £1200 more than release price. Sensible investors everywhere will lose out on the chance of making thousands from this in the years to come

    Frosting is like the finish on the body of the panther. Where you have your circle is in the mirrored finish field. If there were shiny specks on the panther itself it would be that the frosting is missing in that spot.

    Yes it was, this particular coin was a 2005 proof sovereign that I purchased from a dealer perhaps three or four years ago. In my case I just sent it back for a refund for as ridiculous as it sounds, I just could not enjoy owning the coin. I also did not want to deal with issues if I was to come to sell it on (even though the imperfection I had spotted was absolutely minuscule and you wouldn’t notice it with the naked eye, much like the ones on your coin). 
    Between Royal Mint queues, (lack of) QC practices, secondary market instant flippers and grading companies, buying modern proofs is an absolute minefield. Even when you sell on raw coins some people expect that you are selling them a coin that will definitely grade PF70. As grading is a subjective process between the graders and the coin who the hell knows what a coin will grade 🤷‍♂️, sometimes I don’t think the graders know either. NGC and PCGS have modern coin collectors by the balls.

    1) Don't loupe at more than 7x or you will drive yourself bonkers.
    2) a graded 70 does not mean a perfect coin.

    I haven't looked at my 3-coin set since delivery. I can't bring myself to seek out flaws that may or may not be relevant to a grader 🙈
     
    I get that. Personally, I have chosen to accept the opinion of a grader. For the sake of simplicity, if achieves a 70 then it's perfect to me (unless it changes through tarnishing/spotting etc).
    If a coin is flawed during minting process, then I'm inclined to accept it as being made that way. I would even be pleased with a unique mint error as long as I could deal with any potential loss in it's value.

    I've looked at coins and been happy,then months later looked again to see these frosting problems due most likely to the light being at just the right angle etc etc.
    I sent the silver panther back four times lol Sometimes you can take it to far 😂
