I have bought from them. No problems, satisfied customer.

Please see my personal message.

Not for sale. My collection.

I think you need to be a bit more specific as to which state you are looking for.

Much as we may want them, I don’t think the RM will stoop so low as to produce coins with semi  naked ladies on them. And there would be issues with those of a feminine persuasion wanting coins with semi naked men on them.

What I would like to see is a series of coins with heraldic devices. All RM has to do is to go to St George’s chapel at Windsor castle where there are loads of banners hanging up so no need for them to do any design work!

I love both the EIC and the Valiant designs. But I can’t afford proof coins. It’s a pity they never seem to issue bullion versions which I’m sure would sell like hot cakes to more impoverished collectors.

True. I don't think he'll be on the throne for long. He'll probably abdicate within a few years. Perhaps the only birthday coin for him

Why? His mother reigned until her death. He is probably going to have a long innings and reign for twenty five years. He has inherited the genes for long life from both sides.

It depends on what you paid for the car on acquisition. If you paid £8K and sold it for £9k then you have made a £1k gain. If you bought it for £10k and sold it for £9k you have made a £1k loss.

Has my computer got the date wrong and it is actually 1st April?

The postie just delivered these:

Er, do you mean he got them from the Royal Mint? I thought milk spots were kosher.

I thought I would give this old post of mine a bump as there has been some discussion of the coin on recent posts.

64725  -should get to the top of the queue by Friday.

I'm still wondering why France seems to be included. And why not Scotland?

Can someone help me with the Latin. My rudimentary translation is’Charles by the grace of God, king of Great Britain, France and Scotland.’ I didn’t think the monarchy had claimed France since the days of Edward III.

 Second delivery of the day, aside from the booklet looking as though it was treated with as much care as a jizz rag I think the coins are in good order. I do think the design is ruined on the quarter, half and surprisingly even ghe full.

 The big 5 piece is magnificent, the double adequate but truthfully, with it in hand....I'm not a fan. Sad to say after all this time waiting, and I know it's not the concensus opinion, but its too much. The actual portrait of the king is fantastic though

Interesting that of all countries, Switzerland is the largest seller.

That’s because they still have all the Nazi gold to sell off.  Only joking - just.

That sounds a good set up, did it take you long to do 

Um, that depends on how familiar you are with Excel! It didn't take me long and I take a print out of it to coin fairs so I know to avoid duplicate items.

MS Excel

Me too. I have a spreadsheet where I can enter the gold price and it calculates the profit or loss on all the bullion items.

Bareback, not really there would have been a saddle of sorts, even just a towel sized bit of leather which won't be seen as such. Also saddles as we know them didn't come in until the invention of the stirrup, which in turn didn't come to the Byzantine Empire until the late 6th century 

But according to Wikipedia the myth of George and the dragon dates to the 11th century which does indict him of not keeping up with the latest technology in dragon slaying.

Would have been nice if you'd posted a picture, and ideally some links to those dubious web sites.

I go in fear of the moderators. And the wife.
