@GoldDiggerDavePlease excuse my ignorance here, I know know nothing about slabbed coins! So if you got the mint to send straight to NGC, and the capsule didn’t open in transit 🙄, you would pretty much have to be guaranteed a MS70?

What an awesome challenge and an amazing looking result. Well done @Mtaybar

I bow to your superior knowledge @Petra and agree with you 👍🏻 https://m.aliexpress.com/item/729027146.html

Looks ok for a 1 GRAM Krug? What seems suspect to you and is there really any point faking one? https://en.numista.com/catalogue/exonumia98459.html

On here, a tad under this would be my punt and see if there is any interest. https://www.chards.co.uk/2002-gold-sovereign-elizabeth-ii-proof/1081

Just a guess but I recon the memorial bullion 2022 sovereign coming out on the 31st will be around until a 2023 coronation bullion sov is released around April / May and then back to normal in 2024. 🤷‍♂️

I quite look forward to the weekly envelope and adding to the H&B stack, especially if I haven’t managed to add to the gold stack 😂

One years worth. Bought a 2022 sovereign off of them in Jan last year 😂

Still usually cheaper than Amazon 🙄🤑

I see from google ”Gold leaf is the basis of the gold ink used in Islamic calligraphy and Islamic manuscript illumination. The leaves are crushed in honey or gum arabic, then suspended in gelatinous water. Because the gold is not pulverized as in industrially produced metal inks, the resulting surface looks very much like solid gold.” There must be a forum out there for that and hence a market?

I’ve only been here a yearish and purchased a few sovs off of people here. The first thing I looked at was the sellers feedback. If the seller had a low feedback I looked at their history, messages and interactions with the site which usually tells you all you need to know. Having been here for a year there are loads of members I wouldn’t even bother looking at their feedback before buying from now as I’d naturally trust them. As others have said, it’s probably the niche coins you are selling causing the lack of replies and not much to do with you being new and having no feedback. Had they been a handful of sovereigns at a reasonable price, you’d probably have sold them in hours. And in answer to your question, never been scammed on here 😀

Marker pen doesn’t hurt the capsule and it wipes straight off with a little alcohol on a tissue.

I now just write a number on the edge of the capsule with a fine marker pen and have a spreadsheet with who, when, how much etc…

Don’t beat yourself up @Pando, we’ve all made mistakes in this journey 🙄

ye, recon your correct there @Zeuk. Especially with the burger. All event food vendors round here are now £7-10 a burger.

Ye, it’s a real odd one. I run a few largish events (5-8k people) and there is no shortage of people wanting to get out and about but once in the event keep their hands in their pockets. I recon every event this year has had record attendance along with probably its worst take 🤷‍♂️

Thanks @blackadder for my prize 😀, it got delivered today 🙄. Used @DrDave new coin photo contraption that turned up as well. Really easy to use and good results considering it’s a phone camera 🧐

Yes please Dave 👍

Found nothing over the weekend rummage so we will go for; A 1oz 2023 silver Britannia with the Queens effigy delivered when all the names are called out, Followed by a 1oz 2023 silver Britannia with the Kings effigy sometime in the new year. Cheers all,

I’m in please. No idea with what yet, will go and have a rummage for something this weekend.

Mines Petrol 😁 And this one is petrol, got the boys to the church when I got married 🙂

All working now @LawrenceChard Cheers.
