There's a few gold brits on BBP with errors......This one is a belter!
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!

I was wondering about the 130% tax rate.
If hat had ever applied to me, I would have left the country.
"UK political cycles are such that we don't have the stability for that to occur."
There are a few reasons, or contributory factors:
We have a left and a right in UK political parties, with nothing much in the middle, whereas most big decisions / policies would be better somewhere in the centre of opinions.
This will probably continue to get worse. Most people with limited intelligence can only follow one concept at a time. There was some research published about this a few months ago, but it is almost obvious. Political parties and other influencers use this to polarise their audiences in their preferred direction.
Four years is probably too short a term for any government to plan for. It might be better if only half or a third were subject to an election at any time, as it would ensure some continuity.
Changing a country's government every four years is a stupid way to run a country. It would be a stupid way to run a business, so why do we do it with gevernments?

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.

Digging up sovereigns would be deemed to be found treasury and becomes the property of the Crown.
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.

Take it then you don’t want one?🤔😁🧐
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.

Not at all, I completely disagree.
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.

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!

The poor girl that put the suite together on the teleputer for me didn't know what to do. Hence the supervisor. "It's a lot of money sir." "I know" I said "but your the ones charging me that. Can I get any discounts." They took it though to be fair. There was an old boy at the self serve tills laughing his head off and the young couple after me. I thought I heard her say to her boyfriend "god I've never seen so much cash. whilst giving me dirty looks because I didn't use a card, I presume. Hilarious. Use cash at every opportunity. We'll end up cash less if we don't
Can I get any discounts
You Sir have caused some tickled ribs. Thank you!

A thought that crossed my mind is in a cashless world how the hell do you pay a lady giving a lap dance?

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!

Went alright told all was hunky dory until I get a message saying ring us. So ring them they are not happy to whom I am trying to pay the money.
Talk about the third degree treating me like a halfwit. What am I buying am not telling you, no did not like that reply nor a lot of others I gave him.
I would put in a complaint but as our conversation ended with me telling him to f off might not be the best way. I should not have said that to him but
having spent about 30 minutes on the phone to him I had had enough.
Rant over going for a drink.
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!

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...

2021 Queen's Beasts Completer Two Kilogram Silver Proof Coin vs 1 Kilogram Silver Proof Coin

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.
