It's the great engravers showing they are not so great at engraving 

@GoodAsGold No word of a lie,   P*ssed Rookie is how I remember how to spell Pistrucci 

Made by a P*sed Rookie? 

Such a shame on an otherwise beautiful coin.  That’s why I now prefer to get all my RM coins from a reputable dealer, who checks the coins before sending them to me.  Cannot trust the RM for QC.

So the coin struck to celebrate the work of Pistrucci, can't even manage to strike his name on the coins :
Shocking, truly shocking and it's not just one of them either!

Milky 2oz silver. 
🥺🥺😭😭

Oh the irony 😥

I was surprised the price spread was so high.  Yesterday CotR sold three PF69s for around £1200, and yet PF70s are selling for £1800.  That's a ridiculous price gap for an almost imperceptible difference.  For £600 it is definitely worth cutting them out of the slab and resubmitting.  I bet half of them come back 70s.

I think everyone loves the reverse ( has to be unanimous imho ) the obverse ( potrait side ) can cause a stir 😆 🤣 

I have a 1989 proof double sovereign graded by NGC as PF70 Ultra Cameo but that’s worth £1,800 in the current market. They were fetching around £2K on FB before the market dipped ahead of last winter. No particular rush to sell it but available at the correct price.
 
 

Cheers for the replies everyone. Such a pretty coin 🤩

Pf /Pr 70 double will be around £1800 ,someone had one up on here last week I think. 

SOLD - missed out if you were thinking about it

Nice very detailed photos Dave. A picture paints a thousand words but your video does all the talking (even though it’s silent). Nice to see the coin broken out of the capsule. Well done.

Your not prepared for a pirates offer

After buying the HP set for my children they have now developed an interest in coins and are tracking the gold price. 
 
Whilst we may find them tacky they are the gateway coins for the next generation of TSF members 

Not knocking you mate, I do also feel the pain and exhaustion with RM releases.  They really need to make some changes and for what little its done I've tried speaking with the RM but its fallen on deaf ears.    I asked to speak to speak with them in person and I'd even sign myself to a NDA as I've got some ideas for products that would work.  
Just banging out one commemorative after another  has put the RM in ever decreasing circles,  clearly evident of the postponement of the Monarch series.    
I love the RM but the management team and decision makers make some very poor decisions.   It's like they are not bothered or even have the slightest clue what collectors want.    
I could rattle off 3-4 ideas that would work and would give them new product lines that people like us would want to buy for years to come.    
 
 
 

Release like this are a "necessary evil " and it's easy for advanced collectors to dump on them.  The industry needs cross genre products to drag fresh blood into the interest and get people into collecting and buying coins.   
I started collecting circulation commemorative 50p's and its  lead into opening so many different avenues for me  with this hobby/interest and now business.  
The biggest challenge the RM will have is pulling new people into the interest with a product aka coinage thats practically become obsolete for some generations already,  give it another 10 or so years and kids of that   generation will not even be handling coins they will never  have a coin in their pocket go to the shop to spend it and receive others coins back in change.   
As a child I felt rich with a newton £1 note in my pocket and I loved the massive 50p's  always thought the queen looked pretty (2nd portrait by Arnold Machin)   this is how I remember queen. Usually I'd be given a £1 note off the old man to walk to the shop and by a packet of fags for him I still remember 10 players No 6 were 76 & 1/2  pence a packet  and would get 10p for going, this was the time where  half pence sweets were a thing, the prise was the 3 pence sweets the white chocolate fish and chips for those who remember those.........There is so much nostalgia with handling currency  going forward I doubt there will be the same for those  tapping a card or phone for future generations.  
 
 

I’ll give it a bit of a polish and shine and show the results this weekend
