Royal Mint lunars have all been a bit naff in my view. A single polish finish through and through doesn't give it any definition. A good coin needs to incorporate both frosted/matt with shiny/polished parts.

After spending some time looking at the RM lunar monkey I have come to conclusion its ****.
Truely a piss poor ugly design compared to the Perth Mint series.

You would never think the elephant and lunar monkey are the same weight coins just by looking at them.

Picked up my bar this morning (work for Royal Mail so can grab it direct from the office )
 
First thing that hits you is that its quite small, then you pick it up and the 2nd thing that hits you is how heavy it is for its size defo highlights the density of gold.
 

This will be delivered tueday, as the coins are sealed in capsules I needed something to fondle
 

Been a member of silverstackers for some time and thought I better join up here as im in the UK
 
At this time I have zero silver and 100% in gold as I cant bring myself to pay the VAT on those bars.
 
This gold is stashed in a huge safe at my place of work so secure
 
Been stacking this lot since Dec 31st 2013 so has built up pretty quickly, 20.62 troy oz to date.
