So this will be a bit more work than I would have liked but - it is what it is. There will be different production runs on these. So for the however many I am allocated on the first run, I will go in order of comments.  These should be in mid July, the second run will arrive early August. I should be able to get all orders filled. The issue remains that I'm a small fish in a big big pond. Please be patient with me. I do my best not to disappoint.

In my view this ties in with the reasons people have doorbell cameras these days or CCTV outside their house as though they're a supermarket. Even road users have cameras including those obnoxious cyclists with stupid GoPros on their head, ready to record and report anyone who pisses them off. All these cameras give the illusion of security but why do they feel they need for security? It's because 1) we're constantly being told to live in fear of the next big threat, and 2) we're indeed turning into a 3rd world country with 3rd world crimes on the rise. The semi-amusing thing is crime is rising in spite of the cameras. Criminals won't stop just because people put up these placebo cameras which their consumerism made them think their new toy will keep them safe.
It's the same with digital payments. Hacking of bank or PayPal accounts happens with monotonous regularity. Then of course there is the easy theft of digital payments by the governments either through taxation or inflation. Businesses are still safer off using cash and saving more money that way.
P.S. I saw a till worker in Boots wearing a bodycam the other day which I thought was rude, and then there are the self-service machines at Tesco which display your face up close. Surely any thief would walk out of the shop with their loot without coming to the self service machine in the first place? But it's us who actually pay, who get our faces filmed up close. I always cover the cameras with my glove. Wish I could have done that to that mare's bodycam too, but that would have intruded on her personal space.
Went off on a tangent towards the end but hey this is the random rant thread! I do want to slap those Go-Pro cyclists though, they're just looking to start trouble!

It finally arrived this morning!
 

Is it just me or are others still waiting on RM memorial proofs? My patience is being tested 😠

Just another voice adding to the noise about Barclays - never had an issue before today and I've done plenty of transactions with TSF, but trying to buy a Heraeus bar last night and this morning and been given the third degree by Barclays Fraud Squad. The first guy was a complete pompous p**** talked to me like I was simple. I had to ring them back and the lady I spoke to the second time was much better, but was still asking 1001 questions - they obviously get prompted by some sort of script on their IT system but they just couldn't seem to get their head around the idea of a forum for collectors. I even had to say to her that it's a damned sight safer than eBay. I think they'd just prefer that we could use PayPal so that they don't have to take the risk of having to refund a fraudulent transaction.
 

Not having a good day. Just tried to buy the new Tudor Beasts coin from The Royal Mint. Thought this time I'd use my MBNA account instead. Guess what? Yep, payment blocked! Now doing the text-message dance. I just want to spend my wages goddamit!!

The latest Queen's Virtues proof from the East India Company - "Charity"

Seeing as a few graded ASE’s have been shared today, I picked up my first and only graded coin last year when the ASE type 2 was first released. 

This was back in June 2021 when I first started to get into this hobby and hadn't yet joined TSF, so I never got around to sharing.
I have no idea if it was a good purchase or if it will hold its value / go up in value.  Just thought that as it was the first year of a new design it may have been a worthwhile purchase. 

Sorry, c**p photo - but thought I should add this (my first photo here) - arrived this morning.
