I'm just curious about how SOTD's DAY is determined?

I check if SOV has SOTD for many years, whether 2022 bullion also has SOTD version?

🤣not in UK!

Looks very nice. The history of Spain, dating back to the Carthaginians and Romans to exploring the New World ,has been shaped by precious metals more than any other country. It's about time the Spanish had a bullion coin. I would love to see more variety than the mints we have(Hoping for Swiss, Italian, Japanese to make bullion coins and for the Russians to be more active) The pieces of eight design is so beautiful and iconic.

Will this be available to US investors and will there be a silver version?

I have many Japanese gold coins
But except for some special occasions such as EXPO 311 earthquake treasury bonds, Olympics, etc., they are issued almost every 10 years, so you can’t expect them to be more.

In the video2:27
Is the bounce power at the moment when the coin imprinting is complete...
Or is it normal, but my fantasy has always been that they picked it up carefully...🤣🤣🤣🤣

There has always been a question in my mind as to how much the cost of coin minting falls within a reasonable range.
Of course, deduct the equipment that has already been purchased and the engraver is not his own employee

Generally, there is a certain distance between the price difference between BU gold coin and PROOF coin
Even the premium on silver coins is huge, sometimes up to tens of times. Of course, this does not refer to the new technology of super high relief.

In my impression, the Robin Hood BU gold coin issued last time is almost a little bit higher than the price of gold. It is very appropriate.

It feels like there is almost no casting cost. It’s really amazing, but it’s not always the case with other BUs.

Especially when it’s proof, my memory is that there were multiple shocks at slow speeds and low pressures. And this directly leads to the price of the produced coins being nearly 1.5 times or more?

And this is reflected in silver. Of course, the price will be a little higher on silver BU, but it feels super leverage on PROOF silver.
Is the casting cost of BU and PROOF really a huge extreme?

I really hope not! I have waited long enough to have a fresh set and not someone elses QC returns, I did make this point clear to them on the phone and they assured me that the returned coins did not get then sent back out. Maybe they are having to remint tons of them. Its a bit of a joke really!

In fact, I have a question, the number of mintage is fixed, but it seems that every year, every special version of the coin britannia, great, sovereign, etc. series has quality problems and returns.
I guess it should not re-mint the same number of coins,
And if they did not resell the returned coins, the actual mintage would be lower? And where will the returned coins go in the end?
Does it mean that I have the opportunity to buy at a discounted price? HAHAHA is just a joke

I remember in a certain post that the payment method of RM seems to be different from the goods sold (or just my memory is vague), such as sovereign and other coins, some only accept debit cards, some accept credit cards , Does the great series accept credit card?

em......two head without other image. I can't even feel the connection, I can't bring up more spirits
I guess it might also be because of HENRY of 1489 and QEII is 500 years anniversary
If it is a double-sided portrait of the throne, then I would be very interested

so it just QEII and henry and without tudor rose?

the disign is without doubt, i like silver mix cupper the color must be beautiful(of course more silver) BUt i think i will pass 2023and wait for more 5years and get a 5 coin set......

When waiting in line, you need to click on the suit you want to enter the wait or wait from the rm official website. Is there a difference between the two?

@LawrenceChardI remember that I read an article in the forum that tested the sov of the same year but different specifications, showing that even the same year but different sizes, the content of silver and copper is different. If you remember correctly, this is issued by you. , But now I was hurriedly looking for it during working hours but couldn't find it. But isn't the rm coinage alloy of the same year produced at the same time into blanks, and then stamped with different size molds? How come there are different alloy compositions, so QEII you have tested so far are all non-silver components, even for special annual fees such as 1989 and 2017?

I will support your decision. The picture is indeed very beautiful and the design is different. Apart from the shape of this year’s Panda coin, the design is also different. I can confirm at first glance that it is not officially produced in China, nor is it a general one. It is made by the known panda badge manufacturer, but it is really beautiful on the presentation of a third-party producer, but the panda coin badge is only in the Chinese market. If you are simply collecting it, maybe you don’t need to think about it too much because even I even know me. Mainland friends can’t find too much information about him. It’s very likely that a third party is only making and selling to attract foreign investors. Of course, the premium is really too high (I only bought 1989 5sov from the respected sovereignsteve in the forum this year, so I can’t afford more. , Maybe when I become more capable, my concept will change to support you to buy. Of course I think you can have a small size if you like this series, but the collection is complete. Although you may miss this coin, but you have more Opportunity to be included in other collections

Are there any photos? Although I rarely collect pandas, I will be exposed to a lot in the environment. As far as I have observed, the pandas of each year are enough to complement your collection. Many festivals or some special meetings will be the same in the same year. The panda pattern is just written around to celebrate XXX. As far as I have observed, the conclusion is that there is no need to collect it, and it is even more expensive. However, some panda medals sold separately by the Chinese Mint will be completely different. The design is even refreshing, then it can be collected

There are no photos on the PCGS site as the original owner only paid for the standard service.

I would send the coin/s to PCGS for re-grading, then coin/s would be authenticated, but you may receive a lower grade.

 

so this point is NGC better because they always take pictures

I see. Could you provide photos showing all of the slabs clearly. Maybe another member could share their experience with pcgs slabs...

You could even start a new topic on this. It may reach more people that would be happy to help, if possible.

good idea. i will take more picture these day and a new topic

@SilverStorm @SilverJacks  @ChorltonThe point is both of two coins of my picture on pcgs are not show any photo……

In my limited experience, the 2 NGC slabbed coins I have are both first releases (graded SP69 and PF70 respectively).  Both have no marks of any kind.   So looking at your pictures, I feel a bit uneasy as I would definitely not expect to see those kind of scratches on a first strike slabbed coin, which is typically PF70 condition.   

When you say there are marks on both the front and back of the coin in the same spot, it leads me to believe that your slab was opened and tampered with.  It is pure conjecture on my part, and perhaps someone else reading this can chime in and provide additional input.  

I recommend you check PCGS website and confirm with their Registry that your coin is authentic.  

slab was opened and tampered?Is it really possible to be done by professionals who are not appraisal institutions?Okay, I will try to contact PCGS, but many coins that have not been opened and tampered with NGC and PCGS also have many problems such as oxidation. After all, it has been 4 years since they were on sale. Can they still know the authenticity? I originally thought that the reason for this was because they didn’t wear gloves. After all, there are many modern puzzle coins sent by other colleagues for appraisal. The rating is 70 points, but the puzzle was removed when they were packaged.

I bought a set of 2017 britannia from eBay in the United States. The number is 1. Although I have not verified it (who can tell me how many ounces of silver coins should be in the pcgs box) regardless of the authenticity of the number certificate, the silver coins seem to be genuine, it is estimated that the US apmex Send it to the version released after scoring so it is the firststrike。But I found that there are scratches on the front and back of the coin at the same place. The presence of stains is not only in the proof, but also in the reverse proof.I don’t believe that this is a defect of the coin factory and it is very serious. When the coin sent for authentication within 30 days has defects in the same position on both sides, I guess this is a problem when it is held or packaged. Sorry that the last one is not clear, but can anyone tell me the weight of the 1oz silver coin in the pcgs box?

Total is100 so where are the lost 50?and really I dint think it as beautiful as royal mint too, iwas think it may be a special new design,but now it look like just copy

Thank you Geo. 

I only started collecting a year ago and it's pretty obvious I have a lot to learn 😅

Although the set is lovely and in its original box etc and with the low issue number of 0092, the buyer wanted £1,799.

I've collected Titanic memorabilia all my life, but after 30 years of collecting, I really have run out of room. I began collecting silver and gold Titanic coins, then drifted into numismatics.

I'm a bit bowled over by how beautiful some of them are and don't know how I didn't start collecting before now.

Though it all feels rather fixed at times 😤

I tried to get the 2021 tudor rose (which had a mintage of 50) I couldn't get one, but see a seller on ebay with 2, so obviously people buy them just to sell them on again at double the price.

That's just ugh!! 😠

2021 tudor rose ? i dont find any information can you show the photo?

A real sneaky move by the RM.

The greyhound was the LAST Queen's Beast coin ref -

"The 2021 UK Queen's Beasts The White Greyhound of Richmond 1oz Gold Coin is the tenth and final release from the exclusive Royal Mint bullion range. "

So you completed you set and bought a nice wooden box.
Then out pops an ELEVENTH coin with this text -

The 2021 UK Queen's Beasts Completer 1oz Gold Coin is the eleventh and final coin in the highly popular Queen’s Beasts series of bullion coins from the Royal Mint.

Mea Culpa !!

i cant agree more, always has the "final" Fortunately, I bought a similar design before, but it was designed and issued by the British Isles, but the guardian beast is the symbol of British royal power rather than the queen. After all, the monarch will change over time, but the royal symbol will not change.

For those who have and collect NGC graded coins, do you have them entered in the NGC Registry Set collections. The few slabbed coins in my collection are. Below is a link and anybody is welcome to check them out...
