That explaines me a lot. The longer i watch this bar, the less i like it. Even his 2022 Core Britannia looks better. I really was hoping for a banger, this one looks like from the mint-your-own tourist press at the Acropolis museum
 
They are greek mythology, Zeus' and Hera's daughters. But the design looks like a greek tavern in Germany from the 70's. If my name would be sharon, i would say columns are grecophob and racist. And this bar isn't nice at all.

Certainly not for me.
 

I agree 👍..added at least 10 years, but on the bright side...his hair is growing back.

A little one I picked up in a coin shop. It's very shiny, it's been cleaned. But,  I like it!
 

A lovely 1937 proof crown and pl thaler.

Recent pick ups dropped off somewhere safe today

The Coin Cabinet take PCGS submissions.
They don’t seem to advertise it particularly well but I’ve had coins graded with PCGS through them.

Hi All
Just a heads up that there are (as some may know) some very high quality counterfeit Silver coins in PCGS holders.
A non-TSF friend told me he had seen one in the hand a few weeks and that it was very very well done.   He is not a dealer but does have a collection of hundreds of Morgan’s, oddities rarities, goes to the big US coin shows etc
I am not going to post the link he sent me but will post example pics from the website.
- PCGS numbers check out at PCGS
- Rare Morgans, 8 Reales seem to be available
- PCGS blue labelled slabs mostly listed
- PCGS Hologram was apparently spot on
Be careful all!

If they are silver I wouldn't risk it. Should be find with gold though.
 

I don't believe PCGS have UK agents. 
I send mine direct to PCGS.
Not sent any for quite sometime though. 

Coin cabinet premium auction sale today . 
£12k for a pf70 gothic milled edge  2oz sold today . Not to bad to I suppose @Frenchie

Some of these coins might be available because on Sunday night I cancelled £8,500 of coins I had in open orders due to RM being unable to post out coins they already have in their possession and already minted (apparently). So either they are liars, inept or both 🤷‍♂️ 
I’m done with them. I didn’t even get a reply from my account manager but I know they got my email because the orders have been cancelled.
Still wait for a card refund now from December 2021!!! Fuming 😡
Likely to send them a Chargeback request if not refunded before Friday. 🤦‍♂️ 
How not to run a company.

And for me this comes down to the definition of "perfect" in respect to proof coins.
It's easy to have unrealistic expectations.
As I become more experienced, I am also becoming more realistic. Some of the significant zoom pictures I have seen, are people looking for problems imo.
I get it. I just think we have to be accepting of minor issues which don't really detract from the Coin.
It's everyone's rightful opinion to what's acceptable to them. If it bugs you enough send it back.

I didn't say, that's my personal standard. I just replied, what the mint replied to some other members. I got not a standard, which coin i would accept, and which don't, to be honest. Depends on how much i want to hold a coin. And in Germany there is not really a market for graded coins, so i don't care much, if i hold a possible 69, or 70. And the worst thing, i don't really care about selling for most of my coins. Should be my kids problem, i guess a nice problem to have. Coins, that i buy for flipp, eeh, helping other collectors, are for sure better watched for dings and dangs, but i'm usually good, if there are no major issues, well visible defects, spots, etc. for my collection. If i can see nothing obviously with my eyes, i don't much care.
F..., exact my thought. Have to save reactions from now.
