SilverPlatinum

Some of these coins were issued in a presentation pack, I'm not sure whether some or all of these packs contained a DVD regarding the shipwreck.

Hi, I bought some 1/4 oz 2013 S.S. Gairsoppa Britannia Silver Coins. I like the history behind them and the edge lettering.
Could you please let me know if there is any reference from the Royal Mint or if there is any book which mention the history of these coins and the mintage number for both years 2013 and 2014?
 

Decided to buy some mixed year old design Libertads to fill a tube.

 



 

Not sure if anyone posted this already.
Royal canadian mint
$50 Fine Silver Coin – Year of the Dragon
Also I'm wondering if there any other coin that have a double sided extreme/high relief coin before.

Keep it coming…

🤔does it show when viewed head on?
’bullion’ will be the excuse if you complain 🤔

Thanks to @modofantasmafor.his chunky beast

Finally have last year's kook.  Looking forward to getting the 2024 soon.  I have all of them, so I should do a collection photo soon.

About 30 seconds of reading it, then clicked on the bin icon🤔😮

I try not to be a “whinger”, but this morning I received the RM’s January newsletter.
I found it to be utterly tone deaf - is it just me or does anyone else think the same?
(1) Big first article with a photo of their CEO.  Why do we need a photo of the CEO?
(2) An article on the company economics of gold written by a “Business Development Manager”
(3) An article about RM’s net zero goals and achievements.  Essentially corporate bollocks.
(4) A puff piece about the CEO getting a CBE with another photo of her on the factory floor.  Who cares? 
And lots of selling articles - things that are of zero interest to me.
My feeling is that it was constructed by an internal comms team rather than a customer focussed comms team. 
 
Good luck Anne Jessopp CEO, CBE - let’s hope you have better luck than Paula Vennells!

Given that Auragentum.de have put up offers (but without price and release date) on their website it feels likely that coins from the Royal Mint will be released soon.

Nothing crazy but I knew I wanted this one since it was released, finally ordered in December and it just arrived today!

Allegory of Peace: Mintage 1,250

 

I received a promotional email from the U.S. Mint stating free shipping (screenshot attached) and nowhere in that email it says within U.S. only! So I placed the order for 10 Peace Proof Coins + 5 Liberty 2023 Silver Medals, and I noticed that the shipping is not completely free as the mint claims in the promotional email, as the surcharges for International shipping still applies, and in my case to Canada the surcharges for 15 coins was $44.25, I placed the order anyways since I want those coins.
However, when the package arrived in Canada, I noticed that the 5 Liberty 2023 Silver Medals were missing, and when I checked online on the mint website, I noticed it was on BACKORDER status for my order! However, when I placed the order on November 20th, the webpage for the Medals did not state it's on Backorder (screenshot attached) otherwise I wouldn't have added them to the cart at all!
I opened a case with the U.S. Mint support asking them when are they expecting to ship the Liberty 2023 Silver Medals, and they replied that they do not know! Then I explained if I can change the shipping address to my 2nd home address since I will not be available on my primary home. And the mint support said no they cannot do this, but I can cancel the order if I want and order it later on!
So I did cancel the order for the Liberty 2023 Silver Medals, and I asked for a partial refund for the shipping (as I have been charged to ship 15 items in advance). But the mint support refused to do this!
Yes; the refund should be a little amount, but this is not the right practices by the mint to do this to me and refuse to refund shipping charges of coins they did not ship! When we view U.S. as a country we consider it as a role model for all the countries around the world, so this is not expected from a government agency like the U.S. mint!
 

Yes, indeed. Also, it is difficult to capture in picture, but their blanks are not flat, they are a little concave, they seems to be alive when change the position.
Much better in hand than in pictures.
