    Coolsmp got a reaction from Zhorro in Best/Favourite Britannia Design   
    Is anyone going to choose the 2017? A good attempt to combine Britannia with the island of Britannia. But of course you can't miss N.I off coz it would not be inclusive but you cant include the republic coz their not British so the whole design looks a bit odd

    I may divide opinion posting this, but I think I feel as many others do on this forum, despite the news as of late, that today’s news has been a shock.
    This is a huge shock, albeit expected, given HM The Queens ageing years. She’s the only monarch that those under 70 years old has known.
    I’ve read some not so many dislikable and distasteful comments on the forum today.
    But, I think, no matter what one’s own option is that HM The Queen has given so much to all of us. A duty to the end.
    But above all she was a mother, grandmother and a great-grandmother mother.
    I’ve looked in and out of the forum this afternoon and this evening. But no matter wether you’re a modern stacker, an old stacker, a collector of Gillick sovereigns or modern releases, be that the Tudor Beast’s or The Monarchs collection with Edward VII resale imminent.
    Many people, like myself of this country and also most people of the forum, feel a ‘shift’, a change, has happened today. Within a day a changing of the guard as it were.
    HM The Queen’s passing is a great loss to our country of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
    I wasn’t sure wether to share this with the the wider forum but I will, as I feel I’m mostly amongst friends, but HM The Queen awarded my grandfather with his MBE some 20 years ago.
    It was the happiest day of my grandfathers life.
    He said to me “She was gracious, warm, kind and showed an interest in my achievement at the same time.”
    We are at the end of an era. Regardless of what we collect or stack, we are at the end of a remarkable era.
    I watched the news today, as many others did, the announcement of HM The Queen’s passing and I’m not ashamed to say, I shed a tear when the news was announced.
    But, albeit a fictional character, Padding Bear had the right words for HM The Queen’s reign at her Platinum Jubilee in one sentence “Thank you Ma’am, for everything”.
    Lastly, I’ll leave this photograph of HM The Queen.
    How beautiful she looked. How beautiful she’ll remain.
    This is very odd to write on the forum, but here goes.
    GOD SAVE THE KING.

    Lovely and very rare coin received today- a lucky early and what turned out to be a very much overlooked Sunday morning eBay auction win 😃 
    Orphaned from an extremely rare 1923 Proof South Africa Set- a lovely chocolate coloured Bronze Penny, nicely toned, a nice Plain edge and just about as struck.
    A Wonderful coin 👍

    Exec Email - Royal Mint Loose Capsule Feedback Update
    So, for those that haven't caught up I sent an email to the CEO and head of operations yesterday.
    I had a very prompt response from the Exec team and they promised an update within 24 hours. 
    Whilst the update is not necessarily that useful it is nice that they are keeping the lines of communication open. 
    Also for context I sent them a follow up email today with a picture of the loose capsule on my half Sovereign and also feedback on the QC sticker being on the capsule. 
    Here is their response today:
     
    Hello and thank you for sending this to me.
    I have ensured this quality issue which again, I must apologise for, is being investigated alongside the first issue you raised yesterday.  Your point in terms of the QC sticker is not acceptable so will be added as a secondary investigation.
    I am copying this email with the Head of Customer Services and who is leading the review with our cross functional teams.
    Thank you for sending this to me, its so important that this feedback is acted on and I cannot thank you enough for your very swift commitment with feedback to The Royal Mint.
    Best wishes and I have just checked myself on the outcomes of the last 24 hours which the Head of Customer Services will be able to provide to us in due course.
     
    Hopefully more updates tomorrow or next week!

    It has been offcially announced that the 2022 Bullion Sovereign is to be Released 4th January 2022.
    We already know that the design will be the same as the 2022 proof sovereign range, with the Royal Coat of Arms for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
    Edit:
    This mornng I received a further e-mail, which included this rather ambiguous and confusing content:
    "The bullion sovereign launching in January has been the same for many years and been different to the numismatic version. The emailer confirming this launch should be out today... The coin is beautiful!"
    This appears to contradict the information given recently that the bullion and proof designs would have the same designs.
    It is possible that this latest e-mail is intended to mean that the release dates are different, but all should become clearer very soon.

    The trade section certainly relies on trust in the two parties engaged in the transaction. Trust to send a stranger money and trust that that stranger will send the coin. Then further trust that it will be recieved without issue and acceptance that the transaction is then complete.
