That LondonCoinCompany always charge stupid high prices anyway... but hey, if they get it, then good on them i say...  
spoke to RM today

Are you waiting on grading or the RM?

Better still be a philanthropist and run a draw at RRP 😛

HAHA, NOPE..... I'll not be selling mine until it is in my possession..... nowt is guaranteed in life and i'd hate to offer a coin I couldn't get.....  nice price though if it sells

Auction you're spare on here starting at rrp 😁 think of it as a psychological experiment 🤔 

Totally agree, but I think too much emphasis has been placed on the availability and "flippy value" of the 2nd release.
My strategy is to sit back until the day-1 / week-1 madness has subsided, and *hopefully* pick up the leftovers, as coin 2 on its own is just as valuable as coin 1...
Still joining the queue though - see you all there!  

The air is coming out of the bubble, is what I thinks.

Finally got my half from BBP, ordered 8th Jan I think! Although they did call to update me and sent SD in the end so can't complain. 
Contemplating removing from packaging to fill a tube and horrify some, won't use gloves either 😅
 

Yh I would say so. Just give a bit of time for the dealers to unpack and display their items. 
I would say between 08.30 and 09.30 is a sweet spot.

Went to the London Coin Fair yesterday at Holiday Inn, Russell Square.
No pre-registering required.
No registering on the day required.
No plastic screens to be seen anywhere.
Masks optional but I actually saw very few.
There were fewer dealers there and less people in general.
It was nice to see people behaving like human beings again and not skirting round each other like they are radioactive.
Well done to the organisers.

Sounds promising, I nominate @stefffana
😎

I feel flattered to see that I was nominated to execute this delicate experiment. I promise you I won't disappoint you. I have already ordered two threepence coins from different alloys. After they arrive, I will communicate the pseudo-scientific results.😊

I just wondered if this was a proof shilling from 1946, seems to have a lot of detail and has good lister. I realise the coin isn’t worth a lot but was curious. Found amongst a job lot of pre 47 coins.
expert opinions appreciated 😀

We could be on the verge of a scientific breakthrough 👇
I put it to you Prof Steffana in order to eliminate possible variables such as the extent of existing relief, potential variations in pressure applied etc. I would like to propose an alternative method into this Scientific enquiry. 🤓
Method: Make two samples of  .925 and .5 silver coins equal in denomination or surface area. Note weight of each sample. Barrel each sample for 12 hours and note weight of each barreld sample. Calculate the percentage reduction in weight from each sample.
The sample which loses the most weight in terms of percentage is the fastest wearing.
Who's going to do it?

Lol Let's put it on auction on this forum and let friend decide ? 🤣

I never knew that NGC grades rolls!
Can you please post more photos of this roll?

Sterling silver 925 with copper is a very well balanced alloy, with a good over all resistance.
The pre20 coins are looking almost blank now only because been in circulation longer than pre47, coexisting in parallel another few more decades.
It is easy to test this theory experimentally, with two coins of the same type (3d for example to not cry after experiment) and in the same degree of wear, rubbed together on both sides on an abrasive paper applying on both the same force of pressing.

I put one on here at cost but no takers, still available for a couple of days if anyone is interested 🤷‍♂️
