@trpLet me know what you want to do as SilverDrum & SilverAngelPouring have already been chatting and may have sorted something out already.

@trp I'm pretty sure I'm ticket 65???? confused.com?

For my 2021 sovereigns I have weights of 7.995, 7.988, 7.990 & 7.982

I'm in with a 2022 Silver Britannia please.

Not really an error as such but did you not want to use a larger picture for you latest sovereign email !!!!? 🤣

Chards work out cheaper than Atkinsons for 25 even when taking postage into account. (This is for 2021 sovereigns).

To add to above there is a letter included with this site mentioned.

The wife is the only other person authorised to access mine but she doesn’t know it exists. I have two very close friends that know it exists and will inform her if anything happens to me.

Horrible, smelly things that just want to cost you money or die anyway they possibly can. The only thing I took away from farming sheep is don't!

Have 2 gallons of diesel here. Willing to swap for a doctors appointment.

Amazon van got stolen in the village next to me today and parked up on my land to transfer the parcels to another vehicle. They were disturbed by a DPD van delivering to me and hurried away with their back door open spreading parcels over the field and down the Lane. (Called it in and they were caught the next village over). Anyway 4 of them held the Amazon driver at knifepoint for his keys and this could of been any courier. All parcels are now tagged as evidence and obviously won’t be delivered. I wouldn’t and don’t post/courier anything without the correct insurance and today was one of many reasons why. (scum)

I so want to put one of the RM recycled silver pennies through one of those presses. Don’t collect but used to have one of the presses. I believe some of them fetch a good price?

Where would we see that?

Or this year if the wedding is this year and frame it with their names and the wedding date (important). Trust me, you mate will thank you every year 😉

I have 3 sovereigns on back order from Chards. I bought them at a price I was very happy with. It very clearly stated they were not in stock and there was no estimated delivery date. I was happy with the contract and parted with my money. I have been informed 1 is now in stock and given an estimated date for the other 2. I don’t get what all the fuss is about? The contract is clear and they have been very good with their communication. In fact I’m really confused. If you don’t like the terms of the sale just don’t click the buy button! 😳 what other company gives you first dibs on a coin or grade of coin via internet, and let’s you pay for it there and then at that days price whilst not knowing what it may cost them. That’s a hell of a service for me as a stacker.

Now I recognise everyone

Watched this the other day that touches upon it but they were talking tons. Recycling factory starts at 8 mins in.

My apologies Hooper if you took offence, it was nothing personal as with questions like "In general are bars better than coins for weight?, How do I know that I have not bought a pile of chocolate coins? and Do silver bullets kill vampires?" I thought this whole thread was a spoof. I now realise you were actually being serious! In general are bars better than coins for weight? If they are the same material and the same size they weigh the same so I'd say neither are better or worse. It's a personal preference. Should I start slow or blow my load straight away? As others have said if you are new to precious metals slow is probably best until you know something about them. How do I know that I have not bought a pile of chocolate coins? Heat test and taste test. What is the best delivery method? Face to face. If not possible the most secure and insured method the seller is willing to post by. How do I pay people on this forum? Very much up to the individual you want to pay. I've seen BACS, PayPal, Cash, Bitcoin to name a few common ones. What is the best way to know if the seller has a good reputation? Know the seller. If you have not brought from a particular seller before then look at his feedback from other buyers. What is the best postage option? The most secure and insured method the seller is willing to post by which mostly depends on the location of the seller. In the UK, Royal Mail special delivery is the only one that insures bullion as a matter of course. Do silver bullets kill vampires? I have no idea, have never met a vampire to try.

Sorry, couldn’t resist

V = πr2h so if pure gold 0.273588663 mm

It most certainly is 😃 👍🏻

I stand corrected Lawrence 🙂 The sovereign is protected under the The Forgery and Counterfeiting Act 1981 as it has been specified in an Order by the Treasury. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/194220/guidance_coinage_banknotes.pdf

I do quite a bit with the police and they are not interested in these. They kinda have more important things to worry about! None had seen a fake £2 coin though and were surprised as it obviously takes a bit of manufacturing. Will see if thefakepoundcoindatabase want them unless @LawrenceChard wants them for his growing collection? In answer to your last question, yes that's fine. I know a lot of people who collect bombs and you wouldn't believe the money some of the rare ones go for! I don't personally collect bombs but I used to have the largest collection of 30mm RARDEN ammunition. Sold the whole collection a few years ago as there was literally no other variations or experimental versions left to collect and it got a bit boring then but I still help EOD/EOC out occasionally with identifications. I do still collect these though 🙂 Anyway, back on topic. I believe the royal mint tried to protect the name 'sovereign' in court a few years back and failed http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Ch/2017/417.html and anyone can legally make a coin and call it a sovereign. It doesn't have to be gold. So what we perceive as fake gold sovereigns being sold from china and the likes are actually legit sovereigns (if they call them a sovereign, and they can because they are allowed to) made from a base metal and gold plated. It would therefore only fall on the wrong side of the law if you intentionally tried to pass it off as a different metal than it was actually made from? I believe, although I could be wrong, that the dragon design would also not be under copywrite due to the age of it (from memory 50 years after the artist has died.... or something like that)??

I have a good collection of fake old pound coins that I used to train staff with. Never thought there would be a collector’s market! Hadn’t touched it for years but added a fake ‘new’ 2 pound coin I got the other day.

22mm internal diameter capsules. The case comes with 100 capsules. https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B08TQBLR8J?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
