apachebleu got a reaction from ZRPMs in Gold Monitoring Thread £ GBP only
I never imagined the gold price thread would end up with Irish drinking songs that are probably about pirates but why not?

apachebleu got a reaction from kneehow2018 in Queens Beasts 1oz Gold
Yes, but then again they did sell really quickly which in the current market is almost a premium in itself.
I remember a few months ago seeing the set of 11 for sale at 19 grand on Atkinson and thinking that's a lot these ones at 19800 for 11 selling in an hour is quite a result in its own way.
I do wonder if the seller could have pushed the price a little higher.

The lighting is really c**p at the place where I have my deposit box and I hadn't got my coronation set back from grading yet.
Modest by some standards here but not bad for about 2 and a half years. I do love my queens beast collection as that was a chore to collect without massively overspending.
Not too far away from a kilo, I would be there by now but my recent forays in to proof have impacted on 'weight' as a priority.

Yeah it's a nice chunk forsure, and time I think to put it back where it belongs 🙂👍

apachebleu got a reaction from Fishy321 in 50 Pesos
These are a bugger to sell, I speak from experience! However I did just buy another a few weeks ago as I regretted selling mine...there's something about the centenario that's very special, it feels very heavy and satisfying plus because they are .9000 and usually patinad to buggery so you can happily handle them.

I know that modern proofs are basically pf70 or bust however that's a very good price! 👍

apachebleu reacted to NGMD in 2020 Royal Mint Music Legends David Bowie 1oz Gold Proof PCGS PR70 DCAM
You do indeed. It was a grand more on release raw.
Tells you all you need to know about buying them new in the future.
A bargain from @DevonNumismatic

Never thought I'd see this thread...username checks out though

Your all cheer today...
It was a joke based on the fact that it's hardly a popular or sought after coin and you call yourself the mad King...appropriate for a collector of obscure curios like this. 👍

If we have a crash the people that say they won't buy because it's too expensive still won't buy because the price drop will just spook them. We don't need a crash, leave the boom/bust cycles to crypto and stock speculators.

Bashing the Bishop won't make me rich either but that's not going to stop me.

apachebleu reacted to jultorsk in Investigation into Historic Coin Pricing by The Royal Mint
Everything you wrote and especially this ˆˆ
These "Portrait sets" and "Branch mint sets" etc are particularly loathsome imo. I understand some telemarketeers / coin dealers whack up such compilations for milking the unwary, but from the RM it's just taking the low road to elderly abuse.

apachebleu reacted to Shinus73 in Investigation into Historic Coin Pricing by The Royal Mint
Very simply, the overpricing of historic coins and ‘sets’ by the RM in recent times is immoral.
It replicates the worst behaviour of the Sunday Magazine rip off companies, but is worse coming from a trusted organisation with unique and privileged access to the back catalogue of British coins.

apachebleu got a reaction from Chrisplym in The Tudor Dragon Cometh in Bullion
I'd say the dragon is the worst in the series because I think they tried to make it fierce and that doesn't work within the confines of the design. To me it should have been goofy and weird/fun.
I think with the decision to basically have the same body on every beast they made a real mistake and left very little room for a designer to do much (though they could still have done better)
Still, I'm committed to the gold bullion and reverse proofs.
