Hmmmmm not the most flattering tribute to her likeness and legacy 

Yes I certainly agree with that

Hindsight is a powerful thing mucker. I've only just started looking at gold and silver last year. I've learnt that buying only what you would be happy to keep long term is the way forward. 

I've thought about that too recently. Havn't got any platinum yet. Sadly I only started out in jan 2020 and didn't know a lot. I nearly bought a 1oz platinum lion of england for just under £700 I think it was then. Hindsight eh? ☹️

Yes thanks I was looking at a 2022 half sovereign to be honest

Silver brits will be fine for that .. 😉

Someone get me a respirator 🤣 but it's all rather quite disturbing really!

Mick miller looks well!
 

Pizzagate reference? 🤔😧

Apologies, I can see this from both side so what I can tell you is, I've had at least 30 "mostly newcomers " specifically asking for britannias from 2021 or 2022 in the last few months, so I guess you are onto something. 
But that being said if I was meeting face to face to buy gold, I'd have a pair of accurate scales and calipers minimum, and go with the manufacturer dimensions drummed into my brain (weight/ diameter and thickness) 

Thanks but I should have been more clear I suppose; it's not a buying question more a question about does the britannia security features add any reassurance over a sovereign when accepting that coin in a general face to face trade?
I do like the look of the gold standards but I think I prefer the royal arms and if I wasn't uncertain about the new sovereigns looking a little coppery I might have got one already but I do like the design better than the george and dragon in terms of looks at least.

No new PM will come out of the traps with cuts cuts cuts.
Expect the magic money tree to be shook for every bit of freebys and money printing 
Nothing will change 
£100billion towards utility bills, just add it to the unrepayble debt clock already there 
Labour will just keep adding to it next election. Nothing changes 
 
 

Indeed and it's nice to at least have some fixed unit of measure

seems like they have a basket of nut case ideologies going right now but yes I hope you're right, I appreciate you're positivity it's most welcome

I am happy for you to use any gold coins as money if you buy from me. Unfortunately, i cannot give change and only accept them at face value....
