    I'm vegan so will have something like stuffed peppers

    The prevailing view, supported by a confluence of fossil evidence from sites in Ethiopia, is that the emergence of flaked tool use and meat consumption led to the cerebral expansion that kickstarted human evolution more than 2 million years ago.

    Not just that, I have a serious issue with all the cameras installed everywhere, both speed and monitoring, as they are linked to ANPR and they are essentially a tracking tool, they can know where you are in every moment.

    Friend of mine watches this tv program where they follow a police corp in their arrests, I think it's Yorkshire police, I've watched the odd episode while visiting him, I recall in one that the they were after someone and had his registration, all they did was to punch in the numbers and wait for a notification to arrive, if the guy entered the motorway anywhere they would know. With A roads being widened they are now subject to the same amount of control, that means that once you leave the house and hit a motorway or most dual carriageways they know where you are, and I don't like this invasion in my privacy.

    There are many aspects. First of all, a weak population won't have the energy to think about revolting, as long as they have enough to survive they are subdued. There is also the aspect of diseases caused primarily by the nutrition they are imposing, they make us ill so that we feel that we NEED socialised healthcare.

    But most of all, how do you enslave a state? You take away its ability to be self sufficient, so that now MUST be dependant on outside sources.

    This is the real aim of the Green policies, this is the same as the energy crisis, we have a crisis because we have shut down our own power plants. They are nothing but Soviet propaganda out of control, they wanted to destroy the West and the irony is that the Soviet state failed, but the plan went ahead as the useful idiots pushed it all the same and the remaining Socialist entities are enoying the results. China is importing American beef to export plant based meat which is done essentially from waste products.

    My gran always told me never to trust grown ups and, so far, she was right. I suspect that you sent ten good coins and what the buyer is doing is saying that his existing stack of coins has milk spots and wants to return the spotted coins to you while keeping your pristine coins as replacements.

    I hope this is not the case but who knows

    It's likely water/moisture will not make it milk.   The milking is a chemical reaction within the silver and the salt bleeds out of the coin.......Have you got any new builds around you?   Have a look at the brick work house bricks that  have not been property cured bleed salt.  

    Thank you

    I think it was on a proof coin thread that someone mentioned condensation. The rapid heat exchange from the cold outside air, to the inside of your house could mean condensation would appear on a coin when opened. Even so in transit, if not vacuum sealed, they could come into contact with moisture. This could possibly be a trigger for any change. 

    I have however not put a coin into some water to see if it will milk up faster...

    Make sense 

  6. Well

    First time when I have this kind of problem.

    I sold in the last 3 -4 weeks 600 Krugs

    One of my buyers contact me and tell me that all his 10 Krugs are milked.

    I usually check the coins before I ship them and I never ever saw any milk spots on any Krugerrands.

    What are the chance from 600 coins to send the only 10 milked to the same buyer?

    I've had Royal Mail deliveries of PMs left behind a neighbours bin a few doors down from me.
    The photo was not a help because everybody's bins look the same.
    Apparently I signed for them.

    Also had deliveries (not PMs, but expensive supposed to be signed for items) left in my cardboard bin in the past couple of years.

    Royal Mail are useless nowadays.

    That said, DPD apparently 'lost' an expensive camera twice last month & neither has ever been seen again.
    They didn't lose the low value packages that came from the same place on the same day dispatched at the same time.
    It's never the cheap stuff that doesn't make it.

    Hermes/Evri are even worse, so I don't know where you go for trustworthy deliveries nowadays.

     

    On the top of this even sending is a headache even if I do my postage at home

    Royal Mail offices open today from 8-10am on 2 locations near me

    Near Post Office at least 20 people on the quee only 1 till open

    Next Post Office don't accept 24h Tracked because they need to be posted with Royal Mail, so, no proof of postage and I need to make a tabel which they will stamp because I have to many letters to send... I was the only customer, but they don't have time for me...

    Spending 1 hour driving just to post some letters, priceless.

    This part has always played on my mind, I'm glad you brought it up.

    So is 95% of the forum ( me included) buying from each other, technically regurgitating each others items over and over again at risk if the original invoice is long gone to recycling? Or would a declaration from the buyer/seller count 🤔 

    No

    Not like that.

    I selling something else, over 10.000 orders till now... it's about were your claim land.

    You will get different solution for the exact similar problem from Royal Mail

    Incompetence it's a must have badge at Royal Mail and unfortunately they are full of thief's 

    Just don't give up, they will try everything to throw away your claim. 

    Twitter, call phone, letters, use everything and always ask for a writing answer.

    Good luck

    Last few orders I’ve completed from Atkinsons, Sharps and Bairds have been horrendous. Scuff marks galore on both silver and gold coins. 😭

    If you purchase in person at the counter for example at Sharps or Bairds: always request to observe the coin before completing purchase. Some staff members are helpful but the majority have been rude to deal with in recent weeks. 
     

    That's because they bought the coins from normal people paying spot price for them then reselling them at nearly 100% profit.

    Pretty sure @arphethean and @theman73 does that regularly?

    Hm, yes but 

    The problem here is there are to many spot price buyers. 

    They don't buy silver, they (think they) buy a deal, they calculate the difference not the weight.

    Everywhere else people buy silver at whatever price it is. They want that silver and they buy it.

    Somehow I can sell Krugs with £26 on other websites but here they won't sell at £24

    Who is right?

    I don't mind who as long as they buy my coins.

    Regards 

    Constantin 

    Buy the silver not the price.
