Only buy second hand silver now as the vat has killed it. Premiums are high enough without paying vat as well

Ive never found one in my change. Did but the whole set when it came out and they have gone up in value as well which is nice

Bale of Yeaufort arrived with another lion so it didn't get lonely in the post. Hopefully @DrDave buys one too then we can see a better photo 🤣

Obviously someone has to much spare cash 🤣

Very nice strike, has the usual contact marks on her shoulders but nothing to detract from the coin one of the nicest strikes I've seen, the satin lustre you get with Gillick's is sublime. 

Yes the lustre in these is beautiful. Just love the way is shines.

Any ruff idea on the grade

Was only joking but beautiful coin.

Thanks, would be nice if they all looked like that. What do you think it would grade at ?

What do you think

You are lucky considering who they were manufactured 

 

Not had it graded but this thing looks like it just rolled out the mint. I'll see it I can get a good picture of it tomorrow

A gem of a Gillick sovereign from @Colnago  these have been so under rated.  A beautiful example. 

Do love a gilliek, only got one but it's absolutely mint 

Looks terrible, what's happened to the eye 👁️

Postie delivered these beauties yesterday, acquired from a certain Blackpool based dealer.

The double sov is an absolute beast, I didn't realise how much bigger than the normal sovereign it was until seeing it in person.

I'd imagine it's double the size 🤣

So 4 months after  the initial order I finally got my restruck  2x 10z and 2x 2oz silver panthers from the Royal Mint that were checked by the production manager before they were  sent to me.  I will be sending them back again as they are just as bad as the previous 14 coins (I'm now on coins 15,16,17 and 18)!

Its just woeful. I've sent an email to their customer engagement manager but to be honest unless they offer some kind of compensation I'm going to cancel my standing order for the 1oz and 2oz collections and write to the chief executive again.

Either Royal mInt production quality just isn't good enough on the silver (plus I think one of this batch might have an emerging milk spot), or the packaging isn't robust enough to protect the coins in transit. But you'd think by now they'd be able to get at least on e coin right!.  The last picture is actually fibres inside the capsule but again I'm not sure how a piece that big got in if it was properly checked?

 

 

Doesn't suprise me at all, part of the reason I will never buy from them again. Plus plenty of other reasons

At last a full date run of Gillick head's!☺️

Nice luster on these, love my 1968 sov

Agreed.  The colour on the RM website (and others) is not true to the actual colour of the coin.  

AHH well that's good to know, why would they do that 🤦

Thanks

Here's mine that arrived today.

 

 

Colour don't look as bad in that picture

I've not ordered one yet am in two minds, love the design but hate the colour. 

The colour is putting me off. Do these look better in hand than the picture? All I think when I look at it is how nice it would look if it was gold colour and not the colour of my copper pipes that feed my toilet. Which I've named the royal mint, gives me so much pleasure when I take a c**p in it .

I got my x2 sovereign sets returned to me on Friday. I had specifically requested that my COAs be returned and was told they would honour this. Anyway, two of the six coins that have come back are in worse state than the ones I sent! So they need to be replaced.
 

However main annoyance is that, surprise surprise the two sets arrived with different COAs! Head of customer service tells me this is wrong: the sets should have gone into a specific area, so the individual coins could be replaced and then the set itself, with the COA I sent, returned to me! She tells me what has happened is the sets have been processed as returns and she says the COAs have likely been sent to someone else now. She will investigate, though if the COAs can’t be located (which they won’t be!) she said we will have to think of a contingency (perhaps ‘reserving’ me a low COA on a future release). Very disappointed, but then again, it’s the RM so anything that can go wrong, does goes wrong! 

Doesn't suprise me as it's the royal mint. I will never buy from them again after the experiences I've had.

Another auction win for a great price.  Looks to be in perfect condition (marks are on capsule) and should grade well.

I love these proof coins from the 90s - a great colour compared to the stuff we get now.

 

 

I agree much better than the horrible rose gold colour

New 19 sov box from RM. Very pleased with this, it is weighty and feels and looks high quality. I like the paperwork hidey hole and the velvet "lid"

The only downsides for me are that they could have done a bottom tray instead of the paperwork caddy and the 19 is an odd number, it could have been 20 easily and the one row of four may trigger my ocd in time! Also can't use currently as no caps in stock at RM 🤣

Nice looking box but the row of four looks quite random

Atkinsons selling these slightly cheaper than the royal mint. Think I'll just wait till they are on sale there or just pre order

Gonna order myself a bullion one of these today. Theres one thing that really bugs me, why why why do they make them rose gold 😑 would look so much better if it was actually gold colour

This one's not to pretty
