Today I Received.....

The Today I received section is for private individuals to share items they have purchased for their collection / as part of their investment.

The Today I received section is not to be used for businesses to promote their business. Trade members and those operating as a business in the eyes of the forum are invited to enquire about a Dealer Sub Forum, where you may start your own Today _____ received topic to post your commercial purchases. E.g.

The packing on Biard & Co coins makes the product inside look so cheap and tatty :( shame

Agreed and I would have removed them and put in capsules but I won't be keeping these and thought it might be better to sell on as is.

I received this today. It came from a well known dealer. Size and weight is ok. The rest seems all wrong. Opinions, please?

It's a proof year, was it sold as such or a "lucky dip". Looks polished to hell.

It was sold as a "Pre-Owned 1994 UK Maklouf Head Full Sovereign Gold Coin", but mentioned proof finish in the description. It was pretty much bullion price. I certainly wasn't expecting a perfect coin for the price

Can you completely polish the proof finish off like this? Wouldn't there be traces left?
