MrTT reacted to ZigZag in Today I Received.....
Some birds of paradise flew in, as an easy little collection, really like the detail my photos don’t ever do justice.
Oh and another year added to the Kook date run, said I was stopping 🙄must try(resist) harder 😂

The claim must be done by the sender, not by the person who should have received the parcel.

I do believe that is time to get a lawyer involve, after so many days not even a claim 🙁

Many thanks to @richatthecroft (kindly sold me the coin on the left),for allowing me to play a game of sport the difference!
Re-strike Original
No prizes for guessing they are both French 20 franc Roosters from 1906..but are they? One isn’t 🤔?
The coin on the left, is in fact a re-strike, and not an original. I had suspected for a long time that two different variations of this year existed, but until both were ‘in-hand’ I couldn’t be 100% sure..now I am.
1906 is the only year that a rooster can have two different edge inscriptions. Why the French decided to do this, I do not know (Please advise if you know).see below
With the aid of a dessert fork!..we can easily compare the two coin edges together.
The coin at the top has the inscription LIBERTE EQUALITE FRATERNITE and is the re-strike, the inscription on the original coin, is DIEU PROTEGE LA FRANCE ( God Protect France)..
Another small piece in the numismatic jigsaw fits into place😃.

MrTT reacted to HerculeHolmes in First goldsilver.be order
That's the big concern for me too. Goldsilver.be don't DO customer service; if my order went walkabout my only avenue of assistance would be the parcel delivery company. It seems to be much the same story with European Mint, but as someone pointed out, they don't actually offer shipping, only a third-party link (which would be fine, but they don't make it at all clear on their website that they don't guarantee delivery - and that's a big deal). Goldsilver.be IMO aren't worth the price saving, it's too much stress and hassle when things go wrong. I appreciate that they are a mom & pop store and they haven't got the time or energy to be dealing with every little paranoid BS email, but I don't find their attitude "charming and eccentric", just rude.
Between the two, I'd rather go with European Mint, but I'm really starting to see the pros of dealing with UK based dealers like Chard's and Baird's and Bleyer.

It was the absolute lack of ANY kind of customer service in my experience. Mistakes happen, I empathise with that wholeheartedly. They ignored my messages, emails and claimed to not speak English when I finally got through to someone on the phone. They just seemed to hope I’d give up and go away.
(Just for the record I was extremely polite and very British in all my dealings with them. Maybe I should have made a fuss, perhaps I may have gotten further that way?)
Its the best part of £2000, I don’t know about you, I cannot afford to let that slide and hope my business would survive.
The packaging was simply amateur and the whole reason both coins were delivered ruined.
I guess as long as nothing goes wrong you’ll be fine. I wouldn’t recommend spending more than you can afford to lose however because if something does go wrong, you’re on you own.

A purchase from a new seller/member @Empire with thanks to the escrow service of @BackyardBullion
Fantastic coin at a super price.
I’m happy to recommend the new seller and BYB service, which was smooth with a capital ‘OO’.
I’m going to have to flip this one to fund a purchase I’m desperate for, if you are interested keep your eyes peeled or give me a shout!

Many thanks to @LawrenceChard Chards @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer For this super purchase! A bit of an oxymoron, Sussie Gold Silver... Fabulous customer service when the system failed on the payment page, spot ran away, yet Chards honoured the deal at nearly a £50 loss to them.
They have also dispatched an order made via Platinum Deals that Chards offer exclusively for Platinum members, thanks @ChrisSilver. Again Chards offered a deal I suspect they may have forgotten about, as they set it up back when Spot was LOW! Yet they have honoured the deal without question, letting me buy the cheapest silver available in the UK! Sent today so watch this space...
