    StackemHigh got a reaction from Kitalon in Purchasing proof gold coins. Is it really worth it?   
    The proof has a completly different finish to the bu coin! marks or dirt does't make them a bu coin just a devalued proof. There is a lot of value  sorry premium added to proofs over bu for various reasons but damage doesn't change the fact that it was made as a proof coin and will always will a proof coin no matter its condition.
    We are in an age now where a FDC coin is the only proof coin worth having really is a most sucessful marketing ploy by the grading companies!
    I've been buying a few coins i really like in the sub-standard PF69 range for a lot less than a PF70, breaking them out for my collection displays then if i get another then regrading and getting a PF70.

    IMHO you should buy what you like and what you can afford. I collect silver and I collect gold. I also have a modest stack of gold that I can sell if an investment opportunity comes along that i wouldn't normally have the cash for.

    StackemHigh got a reaction from stefffana in How Easy is it to Liquidate Pt and Pd bars in Assay (Less than 1 oz)?   
    I would have to say that a healthy profit would be near impossible and to break even could be difficult to achieve at best. TAX, margins and premiums from dealers will make any profit in the short or medium term impossible. A huge leap in spot price wouldn't help as you want to sell first then buy again.
    The quick way is to buy outright first time with the least add ons.

    Are there other countries national mints have this type of problem? This is a rm generated issue. TOO many issued coins with confusing singles, sizes, sets, finishes, over pricing and poor quality are what the rm has become. It has become difficult to see a solution to this!
    I happily pay good money for good quality products.

    StackemHigh got a reaction from Coverte in This was a bit out of the ordinary   
    I'm sceptical of this being a genuine error. More likely a case of the rm generating free publicity and a buzz over finding one!
    This and the quarter turn brits seems like a marketing tool used to draw in the avid collectors amongst us. 
    200 years ago I could imagine this could be quite common but not by todays standards.

    StackemHigh got a reaction from MBTPSilver in RM dispatch times, and production 'batches'   
    Unfortunately this is an ongoing problem at the rm that has been happening at the mint for quite a few years now I personally noticed this as a problem way back in 2010/11 with the poor quality  william and kate engagement white presentation cases and the capital cities four coin presentation cases. 
    The poor quality we see from the rm most likely due to harsh cost cutting measures.

    I've also heard that a major delay in delivery can be the printing of COA's, presentation cases and packaging. The coins can be waiting in caps ready to go but the printers haven't been given the goahead to start the print run.

    StackemHigh got a reaction from Spark268 in Fractional Platinum (and Palladium too I suppose) -- Coins Shops/Dealers don't seem to want to buy as of late?   
    The Pt Market is very slow at the moment. I can still buy Pt priced below spot. I buy some now and then with beer money for the month. My thinking is that it wouldn't make sense to buy more as the profit I'd make wouldn't be worth the hastle but a bit of wealth preservation with a wee investment angle like Hydrogen etc. 
    I do think the market has the correct pricing for Pt at the moment.

    I'd like to see Pt at around £950 but my view is that it will fall to around £800-850. The premiums will stay high on Pt bars and coins.

    There are plenty of non RM  sovereigns that have been issued by other mints/countries. Some are good, some are not. Personally I'd steer clear of these unless the price is very very good Gold is Gold after all. The isle of man sovs might be worth looking at.

    Is anyone really suprised anymore? It's like when BYB got his 4 coin set and unboxed it and the 1/4 sov was damaged. The rm couldn't be bothered to send out a good set even to him with his legions of you tube followers for a little good publicity.
    The level of disdain show by the rm to it's customers is absolutely staggering!!!
