yeah, there was a bit banter on one of the threads and he took the hump, it wasnt aimed at anyone, just a bit of light banter.. 

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.

mine look fine... in my eyes through my telscope with my stuffed parrot on my shoulder!!

bet is still get damaged and grades a 69 

I have added this to the General Precious metals forum as I am assuming it might be of a coin, the NFT is for, and not a piggy bank.

If you don't manage to get one, and you still want one, I can give you one for cost (it was the second batch that went on sale for £600 IIRC).
I have been spending too much lately.

This is better:

2022 One Ounce Gold Proof British Monarchs King James I Reverse

These arrived today and I am linking them the more I see. Also COA 1👍

The 2 and 5 OZ Henry coins has the same glossy box. 2 OZ Britannias and my 2 OZ The Who, so i guess all 2 OZ Music Legends, also. Just the Tudors has the same cheap a.. packaging, like the Great Engravers. I guess they could send the Great Engravers coins just in plastic bags and i would still miss them. By the way, i ordered Monday a Gothic Arms/Portrait pair, today came the dispatch confirmation.🤪 Please, let them be problem free...
 
This looks so much nicer, than the images on RM side. It's "just" proof finish, or did they try to catch the original finish? Whatever, this one looks nice. Can't wait for my coins. Enjoy it👍

So does my proctologist.  As a matter of fact, I may use his latex gloves.

I received a gothic portrait and James I today (2oz)
The presentation for James I is much better than the gothic portrait.
Glossy box which is bigger, little cloth etc.
Surprising as its cheaper than the gothic portrait. 
I will dig henry out later to see if that was the same.

This is definitely the way.
I have hands like a butcher. I think that helps.

I am happy to report that two very lucky people are now the owners of these two spare coins at issue price. 
In addition, a few members honour showing through as I had put an honesty clause in the sales post that only those without any of these coins should buy them and NOT to instantly flip for profit. 
I am an eternal optimist and it's nice to see such honour shining through on this forum.
I enjoyed this good deed, I feel like I might do this more often with Royal Mint releases. 

I managed to miss out on the Henry VII completely, but I can see from pictures that the black glossy box for the 2 Oz silver is quite nice.
Howevet I can’t imagine the storage issues with having 21 of them.
The RM should have given people a continuity option and provided a single big box with 21 slots for the entire series.

The box for the 2 oz. silver Henry VII is also bigger and glossier than for the 1 oz.  Nice presentation.

OH MY GOD
3x Perfect Gothic Crown Portraits have arrived. 
I will be putting a sales thread up for MINT ISSUE PRICE within the next 20 minutes. 
That will be first come first served, you have been warned.

Very happy with today's new arrival! I don't think these are returns, as mine is looking stunning 😍 should have ordered three! 

 

Well just called them up & apparently my orders didn't go through. 😕
I thought I was fine since the money had been taken but nope. Bloody 2nd market for me too now.

Ordered 3 x 1oz Silver coins as i was lucky enough to get in before sell out. Tonight got an email that my ordered will be shipping soon 😃
i think it is a lovely series to collect the once i can afford (1oz silvers), very low mintage though..

229 available
You have to question the quality.
Will be giving them a miss.

That's a good start of the week. 3 OZ Millenium Falcon, well done by the NZ Mint, or should i say Perth Mint, @LawrenceChard?
Whoever minted this, did me a favor. 🥳
Could be projected and minted by B.H. Mayer and CIT Coins, like the 1 Kilo Death Star. Their Smartminting technique has no contenders, only followers. 😏 I don't like every design by them, but in modern minting they are the undisputed grandmasters in my opinion.

They just make it up as they go along, part of the on job “training”

Not me. Got one for the gothic crowns I ordered earlier though.
They are in open orders though, so hopefully it's just another glitch.
