Thank you all for your input, I do very much appreciate it!

Hi Folks, I picked this up today and was wondering if anyone could help clarify the sovereign mark on this Ingot. from what I have found so far about the marks: maker: GMC (dont know much more) assay office: Birmingham country: England/UK Date letter (C) - 1977 however, the sovereign effigy (I assume its Elizabeth) is not one I could fine on reference. Would anyone know if its a standard mark or commemorative mark? thanks for your help!

Sent you a pm

In the European market (EU) they tend to sell for 5-8% over spot (dealer prices). Austrian mint has them for 107% spot price on their website

Hi all, apologies as this is not a precious metal, rather just a one penny and not rare at that. This was part of a lot. What is more or less amusing is that I am not sure if this is just circulation wear or perhaps a slightly false planchet. I have little to no knowledge about errors and non-precious coinage in general, so your opinions are much appreciated. What do you all think, potentially an error, or would this just be considered wear? I’m leaning towards this penny having been squashed in an unfortunate place rather than an error. thank you for your input

Tdc stands for Tristan da Cunha. a fair assumption, but for modern coins its not uncommon that they aren’t minted in the country of the currency they represent. The companies minting these coins usually get backing from relatively obscure countries to denominate their coins, which makes them coins, not rounds, and that has advantages for the seller as well as the buyer. If you really care about the origin of a coin, you’re probably better off looking for world coins (older currency that was used in circulation) for those countries.

I have never used goldcore based on the fact that their pricing is really too high. If you take a monster box of brits, it averages out at 29,10€ per ounce. About 32-33€ per ounce for a tube. Definitely a few € per ounce cheaper from the likes of Europabullion or European mint. (Specifically for silver that is)

I can confirm this is correct. I have ordered small amounts of silver on 3 separate occassions since brexit from the UK, and customs will hold on to it until you pay VAT+customs charge

If I recall correctly these are released around May or June each year rather than at the start of the year. It may be because of Pandemic at the time (i didnt start this run until 2020), but I got the 2022 one’s delivered in July last year.

Thank you for that! do you mean it was sold at spot +20%?

So a bit of research; Ipelegang means self reliance, and I imagine it’s a slogan came to be after independence of Botswana
