Just something I noticed on the latest silver proof uncoloured dinosaur 50p - in the rippled background you can still see traces of contour lines that haven't been fully polished out. These reflect the depth resolution of the laser cutting machine.

British Monarchs Series - They Couldn’t, Could They?
paulmerton replied to Shinus73's topic in General Precious Metals
The alternative game would be to wait for everyone else to return theirs to be melted and refunded, then bask in having a very rare set of coins -
British Monarchs Series - They Couldn’t, Could They?
paulmerton replied to Shinus73's topic in General Precious Metals
Some clarity would certainly be welcome. I suspect the easiest way forward, without waiting for them to commit to a concrete answer, would be to ask them to arrange for all previous purchases in this range to be returned and refunded if they cannot confirm that the remaining coins will still be made. -

British Monarchs Series - They Couldn’t, Could They?
paulmerton replied to Shinus73's topic in General Precious Metals
But it's not canceled, it's merely "paused". Crystal clear! -
I don't see how it's against those specific terms. Each bid is final and binding and cannot be changed.

The frosting is applied to the dies, not individual coins after being struck.
-
The laser-cut surfaces are naturally frosty. During the polishing of the background fields they sometimes have to re-add the frostiness (e.g. if they accidentally hit the frosted area with the polishing stick) and they do this by masking the already-polished areas and sand blasting the die.
-
The frosted effect comes from the die. Parts of it can appear to be missing on the coin if: The frosted part of the die is impacted, or polished by mistake. The coin is impacted. A small fleck of metal is retained by the die and prevents the frosting being imparted onto the blank.

Yes

This is where grading falls down. I wouldn't want to buy that coin even if it were a PF70. For proof coins in particular, it would be nice if there were some additional value that represents how well the coin was made in the first place.

Geiger Original 10g Gold bars @ Next Day Bullion
paulmerton replied to NextDayBullion's topic in Welcome new members
If you can sell the silver versions of these at sensible prices, I think that would be very popular here. -
Geiger Original 10g Gold bars @ Next Day Bullion
paulmerton replied to NextDayBullion's topic in Welcome new members
Yes, these at sensible prices would be great. But Scottsdale also do the same thing now so that might easier? -
Or if you're lucky, in slabs for the same price It's not just about the packaging though. The coins are literally different to the bullion ones.
-
Are you getting all the weird ones like lunar edge privies, trident privy, oriental borders, fractionals, Gairsoppa, etc?
-
Result! I recently got the 2016 and 2018 ones for similar prices too. Now I know I have competition 🤣

Geiger Original 10g Gold bars @ Next Day Bullion
paulmerton replied to NextDayBullion's topic in Welcome new members
I prefer the Geiger, but tbh I wouldn't buy either. -
Geiger Original 10g Gold bars @ Next Day Bullion
paulmerton replied to NextDayBullion's topic in Welcome new members
I was a bit confused as to what this thread was about. Is is a sales post or just a question about which bar people prefer? -
Because that's what happened with the 5oz Petition Crown. It took them several months to decide they couldn't actually make it and then refund everyone. But like I said, hopefully they are more confident about this one because they have gone ahead and sold them despite the previous debacle.
-
If it were free, sure. It was never the best first choice as its piedfort nature makes the edge inscription float around in the middle of nowhere.
-
3 weeks for sure.
-
But you'd think that they must be able to make it this time if they went ahead and sold them. Ready to throw my toys out the pram if not!
-
I'll have to look at this for 6 months 😥
