Allgoldcoins got a reaction from NGMD in NEW St. George and the Dragon coin with Garter inscription
So the coin struck to celebrate the work of Pistrucci, can't even manage to strike his name on the coins :
Shocking, truly shocking and it's not just one of them either!

The raised edge lettering caused as much trouble back in 1818 :
"MY DEAR SIR, Saville Row, May 26, 1818.
THE raised letters on the edge of the crown piece are so much admired that I have determined to make the coinage upon this plan, notwithstanding all the difficulties which present themselves. I therefore beg you will set Jerome and Harrison to work to make the collars of these pieces. I mean that all the eight presses shall be employed in the coinage, and collars must accordingly be made for them all. The greatest care must be taken to have every collar as perfect as the one in which the pattern crowns were struck. As the crown pieces will be of the exact size of the pattern, the collars may be made without delay. As we are free from work, we have no excuse for not making these crown pieces perfect, and by using the eight presses, and keeping them constantly going, we shall soon get through the coinage, which will be unique and inimitable. Pray do not allow any difficulty to be thrown in the way, but follow this up as an order which must be enforced, and upon which I cannot hear of objections.
J. W. Morrison, Esq., &c. &c. &c. (Signed) Yours very sincerely, W. W. POLE"
The edge lettering required 3 blows, and the coins were expensive to produce, but as you can see Pole was having none it.

Allgoldcoins got a reaction from AOB in 2023 Sovereign Release Date
Anyone got an update on this?
I see the original page has now gone, now just 'PAGE 404 NOT FOUND'
I also got a very criptic message from my mint manager when I complained about the auction :
I have spoken with the relevant department and due to unforeseeable circumstances, the responses have been delayed.

Allgoldcoins got a reaction from MBTPSilver in 2023 Sovereign Release Date
Not me, I had 1 bid that was in a winning position until that email, I didn't increase my bid. I have heard nothing so presume I was then outbid, although I have not heard anything official as yet.

Allgoldcoins got a reaction from GoodAsGold in 2023 Sovereign Release Date
Did anyone bid on these?
I heard the auction has been a PR disaster for the Mint, someone sent out an email to all bidders disclosing who was winning and who wasn't, then encouraging bidders to increase their bids.
That is not only against the principle of a silent auction its also against their own terms and conditions :
5.5 Each entry shall be final and binding once Bidders click the submit button.
5.6 Bidders acknowledge and accept that each bid submitted in the Auction is irrevocable and cannot be amended or corrected, even if submitted in error and/or notified to The Royal Mint.
Someone is for the high jump, and no idea what RM will now do with this auction?
