The Grffin of Edward III returns from PCGS. Very shocked at a PR66!
Obverse has hairlines all of a sudden visible to the naked eye which weren't there when it was with me. it would have gone striaght back to the RM in 2021.
Mine is the only one graded so far at PCGS.
I feel this could be a coin swap.  Let's see if any other Griffin's all of a sudden get graded much higher.
The 1oz Dragon at PR67 I understand because I bought it from a dealer who posted images of a pristine coin but when I got it, I could see why they graded it a PR67.  FFS! Bar Stewards!
Anyway, rant partially over, at least I have one.

I think I know who you mean. I've never sent to a 3rd party always direct.  I always check my coins when I receive.  Definitely something fishy here.
Can't do anything though.

A couple of Gillick sovereigns - 1962 and 1963
No Georges this month, for the first time in a while.  High res pics, 1,536px across.  I'm also quite pleased with the lighting - it's picked up decent contrast on the Gillick effigy, which is not always easy to do.  Very little post either, just pulling the contrast up a bit.

Auction win. A nice 2020 Elizabeth II Sovereign Proof Set.

 

Some bits back from NGC via @GoldDiggerDave this week. 
cheers to Dave 👍

Received today, has lovely toning but struggling to capture it on the phone
 
 

Just received today!
Big thanks to @Samuel21 for this belter. Lovely looker! 

Another memorial proof thanks to @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions

2023 1 and 2oz reverse proof libertads 😍🇲🇽

One I’ve had for a while, recently got it slabbed as I wanted a nicer presentation. 
I tracked down Arron West, the designers of the reverse and he kindly signed the Trial of the Pyx documentation.  
 
The 2018 dated BU base metal “Newton” 50ps is one of the rarer 50p’s out there as they used the 2018 obverse die for the SYO (Strike Your Own)  all currency issued were dated 2017.
