Good luck mate! Please let me know how you get on, would love to hear about your journey so far if you would like to share please feel free to message me. thanks.

Thank you very much!

Hi all, trying to get into this and looking for places where I can learn more. Any recommendations for content or communities would be much appreciated! Thanks everyone.

Yes, walked pass their shop in London St. James’s last weekend.

Around 350 for 2oz silver is not bad price here: https://www.lpm.hk/en/banner/the-gothic-crown.html and free shipping to UK - ships end of March and no queue!

Sounds like a great idea - thanks Chris! Please feel free to edit out any bits that doesnt add value, e.g. first 3 posts i think could be removed if that's even possible in the forum backend.

Reminded me how generous SIlverMike and Unowho were with their time, thanks again guys, very much appreciated! Love submitting now and try to pay it forward by helping other collectors. Adds another dimension to the hobby. And this is the most comprehensive submisison guide I know of, took me from zero to complete, I couldn't find any when I tried last year. May even be worth a pin or a mention in a FAQ thread @ChrisSilver?

Anyone know how much this sold for? it's my dream coin! https://www.drakesterling.com/coins-for-sale/sovereigns/george-iii/1817-sovereign-pcgs-ms65-21694839

Interesting, does FOI actually cover this? Can we request to see (aside from individuals) the businesses that they went to?

Today's craziness got me thinking... I managed to get in the queue at around 200th spot, which I thought was very lucky, but when I got in - all that's left was the 2oz. Which is crazy. I feel sorry for those in 2000th or even 5000th. I'm assuming this happened because most of the coins have been allocated to dealers - who will instantly list these coins for sell at up to 4x the price of RRP. We’ve seen some. My question is what benefit does RM have to gain from this? Why would they prioritise flippers over DTC (direct to consumer)? Why annoying hundreds if not thousands of collectors to satisfy a few dealers? Because these dealers buy so much “bullion” coins from them? And this kind of stuff is a bonus from RM to thier B2B customers? Someone else said on groups - if Rolex found their “official” dealers flipped like this, they would ban them immediately - Rolex watches are always sold at RRP at official dealers, they are just sold to people who have a history of purchase, but not at bulk either like RM, i.e. one per customers, it is then "flippered" on the secondary/unregulated markets. RM literally sell at bulk, to flippers. I'm also a gold Mint Marque member, and even my Account Manager said it had been all allocated... very sad situation as I really wanted a 2oz gold for my collection... But no way I’m paying the insane prices it’s been flipped for already. Win some lose some! Feel free to drop your thoughts here all, no hate it's the game we love to hate.

yes, cant order on the phone, lady said 2oz gold is out...

dude how are you in???

Very helpful, thank you, fingers crossed they will do the article magic on this!

My only older maundy coin and I really love this one - the details are amazing, almost no sign of wear, but it has a lot of black rust, though it has not effected the details in areas covered (hard to show in photos), thinking of adding it to my next batch to NGC for fun, just wondering if anyone has experience of conservation on this kind of black rust? Thanks in advanced.

Thank you so much @UnoWho good to know they pay out the lower of retail or fait market!

Got it - thank you - so we pay shipping and insurance on top basically and it’s total value based on bands.

One last questions, sorry - Insurance is included in the tier fee? Or do I pay more depending on the values i enter? If we have to pay additional based on value we put, is that fee based on below?

Understand, thank you again, will try submitting a few coins first
