Hi all,
I would like to share my experience with BullionByPost as they were the last to try.I haven't had much luck in the past trying to get the best condition for the coins I want to be in top condition.
I sent them an email first,asking about the condition of their 2022 gold buffalo.I told them that I had bad experience with other online bullion dealers,that coins which were described as mint state were drilled,acid tested...
They said there can be marks occasionally in the Buffalo coins ,but they certainly wouldn't sell a coin that had been drilled or acid tested.
I have tried to find a buffalo here on thesilverforum to buy but I got only one offer for a Buffalo that was badly scratched and at same price BullionByPost had on stock.
Thinking that I can't get a worse condition than the one offered on thesilverforum I went ahead and placed an order for a 2022 mint state gold Buffalo from BullionByPost.
To my surprise,the coin arrived in a perfect fit capsule and couldn't believe that I finally got a top condition gold Buffalo.I'm not an expert but seems to be an MS69.
I'm very happy with the condition of the gold buffalo and that finally,with the pre 1942 gold indians,the family is reunited.
Thank you very much BullionByPost.

Seriously, kudos to him not just shipping out coins which look like terrible at a huge premium and standing behind the generic "it's bullion"
Poor bloke has like 150 of these to shift
DISCLAIMER ABOUT THIS COIN
SADLY THE QUALITY OF THIS COIN IS TERRIBLE AGAIN AS BAD AS THE ROBIN HOOD COINS, SO BUY THESE WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THEY WILL HAVE MARKS, SCRATCHES AND MILKING ISSUES, HENCE THE PRICE!

From left to right it looks like St George is trying to reign the horse back a bit, fails, and then, when it finally does stop, cracks his nut into the back of he 'orses 'ead

These sets are available from many dealers at £3700 without the box  😂

Quite, and the problem I have with it is that pretty much anyone could build the same set very quickly at EF, but the RM sell it as a premium product.  In my view it is not.  

I have never been impressed with the RM as it is today, but it’s offerings such as this which are particularly….foul.
A few Sovs at EF which could be bought elsewhere at a few percent over spot plus a box makes them circa 2.5k overpriced.
I suspect some punters will be impressed with “extremely fine” but they will take a bath if they come to sell them.

Another Nice delivery of World Gold for the ever-growing collection thanks @DuncanWylieWilson for this lot

I am in Japan on holiday and had a day trip to the city of Kobe.   While there I thought I would see if there were any coin dealers and found a listing for “Coin Palace”. Thinking it would be a typical local coin shop I turned up to discover that I needed to book a time. They were not busy and very kind enough to let me in to take a look around their magnificent display room.   As I was looking at the first coin, an Edward III hammered gold Noble graded MS63, the owner explained that he specialises in rare British coins. As you can see from the photos he has some of the worlds highest graded examples along with Patten coin such as:- - the 1817 sovereign pattern coin; - 1817 Three Graces Pattern coin; - 1910 silver pattern coin with an alternative design for the “rocking horse” crown.   He had 12 Gothic Crowns on display.   An 1887 £5 sovereign graded PF 66 Ultra Cameo with its original presentation box.   And lots more! I only wish that I had taken more photos.
