One of my favourite old sets which I've had since I was a pre-teen. My dad gave me it circa 1971..

I had a look at RM's website yesterday and there were only three in front of me...

Another of my favourites - a 10oz Beast of a Completer:

Some fantastic coins on display on this thread. 
I always liked the simple half crowns, florins, shillings, sixpences etc up to 1967 as they were a part of my childhood....

I would happily have a conversation about swopping 65oz of my 999 file silver for 1oz of 999 fine Gold should anyone be interested
 

I may divide opinion posting this, but I think I feel as many others do on this forum, despite the news as of late, that today’s news has been a shock.
This is a huge shock, albeit expected, given HM The Queens ageing years. She’s the only monarch that those under 70 years old has known.
I’ve read some not so many dislikable and distasteful comments on the forum today.
But, I think, no matter what one’s own option is that HM The Queen has given so much to all of us. A duty to the end.
But above all she was a mother, grandmother and a great-grandmother mother.
I’ve looked in and out of the forum this afternoon and this evening. But no matter wether you’re a modern stacker, an old stacker, a collector of Gillick sovereigns or modern releases, be that the Tudor Beast’s or The Monarchs collection with Edward VII resale imminent.
Many people, like myself of this country and also most people of the forum, feel a ‘shift’, a change, has happened today. Within a day a changing of the guard as it were.
HM The Queen’s passing is a great loss to our country of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
I wasn’t sure wether to share this with the the wider forum but I will, as I feel I’m mostly amongst friends, but HM The Queen awarded my grandfather with his MBE some 20 years ago.
It was the happiest day of my grandfathers life.
He said to me “She was gracious, warm, kind and showed an interest in my achievement at the same time.”
We are at the end of an era. Regardless of what we collect or stack, we are at the end of a remarkable era.
I watched the news today, as many others did, the announcement of HM The Queen’s passing and I’m not ashamed to say, I shed a tear when the news was announced.
But, albeit a fictional character, Padding Bear had the right words for HM The Queen’s reign at her Platinum Jubilee in one sentence “Thank you Ma’am, for everything”.
Lastly, I’ll leave this photograph of HM The Queen.
How beautiful she looked. How beautiful she’ll remain.
This is very odd to write on the forum, but here goes.
GOD SAVE THE KING.
 

mate you wouldnt even believe it. when i get time ill post some screenshots. just had a brick returned to me today instead of 2x metalor bars. ive 27k withheld now. and rising. but fortunately ive only 6 or so items left to run on there. now ive got to deal with ebay to get these cases found in my favour. ill take them to court if i get stitched up here. you live and learn but boy this has been a tough one. just feels like im just stood on the street handing out free gold and silver

What, you think they just started doing that kind of thing in 2019 when fatso got the job..? 

Good point, but I'm sure the 'they' would just pass a law to make it legal if it suited them..  They do that with everything else...

I get super excited when ever i see this thread has a post 😂 cheap sovs?! Nah, just moaning about the foookers again!! 

I can't quite get my head around this.  Is it just more money printing..??   Someone told me it was going to be paid for by issuing more government bonds like they did after WWII.   Is it just piling debt on top of debt again, as with furlough..?     Wont it just drive inflation further and force them to raise interest rates again..? 

They might introduce VAT & CGT on Gold to make up for tax cuts elsewhere..  I wouldn't put it past them.

New PM and Chucky Killer Doll.  Which one is which again ?  😅

AArgh I just received another of those supremely annoying "What's your best price?" questions for an item I've still got listed on which it clearly states NO OFFERS.  
The price is £140 so I messaged the guy back and said   "The best price is the one listed mate but if you want to make me an offer on it I'll happily accept £170"
Thanks to @LawrenceChard for suggesting this response..😂
