Quite interesting that previously EIC followed the RM Great Engravers series with their Masterpiece collection, but with St George looks like they decided to set the course  Or maybe they got the information what will be the next Great Engravers

I was hoping once they did the petition crown we would see a sovereign with raise edge lettering…..can you imagine how a a £5 sov would look…….yes please!

That's a nice one. Such a pity that no one seems to care. But there are just too many coins that the RM issues. And this at a time when most people have other problems than collecting coins.
But this one looks much better, than the Arthur coin.

I am a stacker rather than a coin collector, but I still like pretties. 😉 
I love the details on this 2 oz round.

first half shieldback! 

These landed couple days ago, phone made this collage for me including the caption 🤣

Really happy with this

Lovely couple of shields (43 & 57) from @vicamy and a 1/4 Lib from elsewhere 

Just added four pence to my savings, these have the same grade which really annoys me, one looks like end of life/run strike ,on the Obverse, plus a strike through  by the W on the other.
Plastic cost money.       

Big thanks to @1stsovereign

The 1919 ticks another date off. I've just a 1924 to get now for George Vs 

My 1st 1oz Gold coin and im blown away with it. Sadly its already hidden away and not on show.

Hope you get a good one.  Mine looks fine, as you can see from avatar.  In case you haven’t seen photos already posted elsewhere, here’s a couple….

1/4oz arrived today - really nice coin, can't see any obvious faults - well done RM!

The EIC Masterpiece collection is fantastic. The Una is absolute stunning, portrait, arms and 3G also great. The graces could have more relief, looking a little bit flat. And the milk spot on the 3G is propably also a homage to the RM coin.
First it was just an alternative to the Engravers, because I missed Una. But now I like the EIC Masterpiece a lot and will continue. And the St. George issue looks to be like a holy handgrenade, I always wanted to have. I'm truly thinking about burning a lot of nice colored paper for a 1 Kilo antique finished coin, must look crazy with a 100mm diameter. The details looks to be amazing on this one.

Just ordered a few silvers to slab, this is the joy of this hobby just buying the coins you like rather than always stressing about future value.    The antique colour on the 1kg looks nice would l have liked that on the 1oz. 
 
I also got a few masterpiece 3 graces from them, specification wise it’s closer to the original 3G than the modern 2oz’s and looks more like a proper coin than a medallion. 

@GoldenGriffin this is my EIC double sov. Not fantastically commercial. But I will argue with anyone who says it’s not a stunner.   The Obverse leaves a little to be desired. 
 
it’s has the original legend and shield of arms where the 89 does not.  I like what they try and do with some of their coins.

No argument from me, mate.
I might have to get mine graded.
