  6. Today I (finally) received my Platinum Jubilee Medal. A nice weighty piece of…….nickel.
  7. Ladies and gentlemen, feast your eyes upon this monstrosity found this evening on Facebook marketplace. Anyone fancy adding this beauty to their collection? First come first served and don’t all PM me at once flooding my inbox asking for the sellers details! I imagine some clown has probably done this by ripping it out of a mount - Nice one, 100+ years of history down the toilet 👌🏼
  8. Whichever has the lowest premium above spot when you are buying. Although sovereigns are a little easier to sell if you want to offload peer to peer down the line.
  9. “Therefore we felt that leaving the coin in the slab was not beneficial to us.” Thanks for sharing, that really is eye opening.
  10. I think this is excellent. It smacks of nothing but a money grabbing move. NGC have had collectors by the stones for far too long and with this move have likely undermined their reputation and kneecapped their credibility. Hopefully we can get back to enjoying coins and see a bit of a market reset and move away from the pump and dump of graded modern collectibles.
  11. Big arrival for me today - a coin I have been looking to add to my collection since I started my affair with gold. 1966 Rhodesia Gold Pound with a mintage of 5000, issued by Ian Smith’s rebel government without the authority of the British Crown on the first anniversary of Rhodesia’s Unilateral Declaration of Independence. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces38128.html Now to save up for the £5 to complete the set.
  12. Oh yes they certainly do…..for the dealer that is.
  13. Haul of 2005 bullion sovs in OMP arrived today.
  14. Airtites https://air-tites.com By and large these are the most superior capsules. However, they can be difficult to source in the U.K. Sometimes members have them available for sale on the forum.
  15. Arrived yesterday - a 1973 Isle of Man Sovereign from HGM. Pobjoy mint turns out some right tripe these days but I do wish they would resurrect this design.
  16. When I went on the Royal Mint VIP tour they actually addressed this very thing. While I’m no authority on this and don’t want to be the bearer of bad news, the tour guide stated that there is no prescribed right or wrong orientation for the inscription on the rim of the £2, and previously the £1 coins. I will add they didn’t specify whether that applied solely to circulation coin, or whether it is also true for BU and proofs.
  17. https://lois-bullion.com I’ve used Lois Bullion in Birmingham a couple of times previously as I found they paid the best price at the time. Worth getting a quote.
  18. ….Soon to be found in the bargain bin alongside Elton and The Who. Dead duck series.
  19. -You don’t have to divulge the contents to anyone although you have to sign an agreement not to keep certain items in them. The only time you would have to divulge the contents is to an insurer if you wanted the contents insured. -Which brings me on to the next point: The contents often arnt insured automatically - this can be rather expensive if you choose to buy it. -Deposit boxes have no bearing on CGT as that would only arise when selling your metal. -It’s worth the outlay in the respect you don’t have a pile of PMs hidden at home waiting to get robbed. I’ve had one for years and would never go back to not having one just for the peace of mind it gives me. -Is it safe from HMRC? Probably not as you have to prove your identity/ address/ inside leg measurements to open one.
