AaaGee

My new entry, finally my first "Man" 😍😍😍

I still think the Broadley portrait is the most accurate portrait of the Queen there was. Not my favourite by any stretch.
In the same way the Thomas Brock, Joseph Boehm and the Leonard Wyon portraits (old, jubilee and bronze bun head) were the most accurate Victoria depictions.
The new Charles one is very accurate.

The Perth (the one in Western Australia) Coin fair started today and I could not leave without buying something shiny!
This 1896 Morgan Dollar was perfect. 

A lovely double sov from @James32

Coin will be too large to store due to the ear factor! And no one can afford 1kg sov

Received these as gifts for the Star Wars obsessed in the house.  Might keep them. 😁

 

2 of these today. 2022 2oz Lion Of England. To go with my 2023 Yale Of Beaufort coin (waiting on another 2023)

George II (1727-60) Sixpence, 1758, older laureate and draped bust left, legend and toothed border surrounding, GEORGIVS. II. DEI. GRATIA. rev. crowned cruciform shields, garter star at centre, date either side of top crown. S.3711
A wonderful irredescent red colour a truly fabulous example UNC or Near so.
The Latin legends translate to on obverse "George II by the Grace of God" continuing on the reverse in abbreviated Latin which if in shown in full reads "Magnae Britanniae Franciae ET Hiberniae Rex Fidei Defensor Brun ET Lunebergen-sis Dux, Sacri Romani Imperii Archi-Thesaurius ET Elector" and translates as "King of Great Britain, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, Duke of Brunswick and Luneberg, High Treasurer and Elector of the Holy Roman Empire."

If you're a weird bugger like me and happen to be handy with a sharp blade you can cut the centre sections from airtites/knock off airtites so they fit smaller coins. No rattles, no worries. It's often worth buying the big versions of the knock offs just to do this.

neutral yeah, totally agree, its just negative can have a huge effect on here, they may have personal issues going on or working shifts, could be a number of reasons and then going forward dont deal with them again... 

Excuse the sandy fingers lol 
Gotta say very surprised how absolutely awesome these proof bars are

This is where i probably fell short.

STOP POSTING RATTLING BULLION  COINS IN CAPSULES!
For normal bullion coins non numismatic coins please just put them in a flip and send the capsule  within the package.  FFS it will not take a genius to work out whats inside the package.   We must all her the familiar rattle every week.

The only slight disagreement i have with your post is posting/packaging.
You didn't account for thieving post office workers.
I sold a coin last week. A 1/4 gold coin in a capsule.
Got 2 pieces of card about  3x3 inches and carefully cut holes in both pieces and sank the capsule into it. Then put the card into a jiffy bag.  Wrote the address of the buyer on the jiffy bag and folded it like a soft pillow. Then put that jiffy bag into another jiffy bag and taped it shut. I dont believe squeezing it and prodding it would have given a clue as to what was in the envelope.
Yet i (my other half) posted it 1st class, recorded, signed for 24h etc etc.....
Got to the buyer as an empty jiffy bag that had been cut open and taped shut again by all acounts.
Theres no guarantees what ever you do. 
In th middle of a claim against the post office now. Theiving bas%&#@S!
Although i also understand what you mean about poor packaging.
Ordered 3 coins from bbp last week and the capsules were smashed to bits. But at least they made it to me.

How I always assumed it would go,apart from the possible month wait.
I'm of the opinion ( assumption) that this isn't a regular occurance with special delivery, so they will likely pay out .

Theres 2 ways. Online or by post. I went to a post office and got a claim form.  
Wanted sellers and buyers name and addresses and emails and contact numbers (although the buyes address was a PO Box no).
Proof of post and tracking number (had that)
Proof of monies being paid (went to bank and got statement showing payment and refund).
Also sent BBP invoice to prove the coin existed in the 1st place (they didn ask for that but i want my money or coin back).
Took to the main city post office to make sure they got it without question. From there it will be winging its way to the claims dept. Just a waiting game now. Upto a month to wait apparently.
Lost all faith in the PO now. Will take a day trip and use a tank of petrol to buy or sell a coin from now on if i need to.

Yep

It was a brand new jiffy bag. I just ran 1 piece of tape across the flap for double the security. For what it was worth 🤨
