Whether it's 2 kilo or not that price is Bin Lordery of the highest order! I reckon on 9 maybe 10kg of silver from a dealer for that much.

That's the rare Queen waring paper bag over head edition so she can sneak down to Costcutter for Benson & Hedges without being recognised.

I think Sir Lawrence of Chard & Blackpool should stage a coup and take over this island. At least we'll know the premiums we're paying! 🙂

Ermmmm.... now let me think.... Pol Pot Mugabe Mad Vlad

Maybe I should get rid of the shiny stuff and store my wealth in KitKats. I could always eat the evidence if Her Majesty's Robbing Chocolate people came calling.

Free delivery 😛

If any Crown clown tries to claim ownership of my buried coins he's for a Glasgow kiss. As is anyone digging in my garden. Cyril the Squirrel asked for permission and prefers nuts to this shiny stuff anyway.

See if that Lawrence Chard bloke will take her as a part ex towards some Sovs D)

Got to buy a special testing machine off t'internet if t'bank will let you spend your own money... 🤗

Nope. Don't touch silver with a barge pole most of the time, certainly not RM garbage - only exception being the kilo Beast Completer coin. I'm a sucker for a nice big kilo lump, Perth Mint produces plenty enough to keep my interest.

As is your right. If you went and bought a shiny new car and the hide on the drivers chair was at a 90 degree angle to the hide on the passengers chair you'd be having words with the dealer. This is no different. I see poor product I call it poor product, and that's my last word on the matter.

That's not super cool. It's simply more evidence of the RM's quality control, or rather lack of it.

I've been collecting silver thinking one day when I have enough I'll get a nice man to melt it down into a hat shape for me. None of this base metal tin nonsense, I want an upmarket shiny helmet!

Can I get any discounts You Sir have caused some tickled ribs. Thank you!

Think we'll all have to start wearing stockings, brandishing shotguns and driving Jags when we want money in the future.

A thought that crossed my mind is in a cashless world how the hell do you pay a lady giving a lap dance? Swipe your Mastercard between her cheeks! 😝

I use cash where I can. The garage that looks after my car is now card only, but that's understandable as it's a rough area and taking thousands in cash a day is basically not safe. I had to pay DFS by card for a sofa as they don't take cash. Everybody else where I physically spend is happy to take my paper with the Queen on.

Just hijacking your rantage thread a moment Monsieur Bogart if that's OK.. Bank of England is the cause of my rant. Remember how they promised us the new plastic notes with their umpteen security measures were unfakeable? Turns out, unsurprisingly, that this is bollards. Have had a schooling by a young man in the Post Office. Where did my fake 20 come from? Nationwide Building Society's ATM earlier this week. Be careful chaps and chapesses!

Are you proof or bullion?

Sympathise totally. I had the third degree from some thick Irish paddy Lloyd's twit when trying to move the sale proceeds of a property. So a significant amount of money, granted. However I WAS trying to move it into an account in my name based at the same branch. Now surely even those pratts should know it's bloody me not a Nigerian Royal. That particular episode lost them my personal accounts and my business account. Not that the bank I moved to are much better. My granny was right. Mattress!

To me it looks right. Detail is crisp. Now wait for a man with a better eye...

Getting lighting right is the key in my opinion. A nice sunny day helps (so wait 'til the summer ;)) or failing that good bright halogens or similar. The hurdle to overcome after getting lighting right is getting the camera lens in focus at a suitable distance without throwing a dirty great shadow of yourself and the camera... Your starting photos are a million miles better than some of the ebay coins for sale photography, so not a bad attempt!

No mention of which April... Or is indeed April a lady in the RM Despatch department...

Judging by the condition it could have been freshly minted by RM earlier today! Sorry, no idea mate

Clearly the seller has failed to realise he has a super rare double in his sticky mit!
