I find it impossible to believe Russia would be firing on a nuclear reactor when they have occupied them since the invasion. Funny that. Since the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant has been occupied by monday (according to reports) why would Russia carry out a bombing and shooting attack on a nuclear site they occupy? Honestly, the nonsense here in the West is astounding.

They told me on the phone, that Henry was a test and they ain't sure about continuing this series. I had so many questions over the years, almost every answer was nonsens. Would be really sad, if this would change about this series. First time i wish, they don't know, what they say.

Una could be Barry's stepmother, that only showed love to him for several days. After this she carried a much higher premium and Barry started feeling bad about her.
 
 

Got these monrachs the other day, was super scared when I saw the weird swirly mark on queenie's cheek on the obersve initally.(ps: don't want to draw on her face, I hope you guys can spot the marks)
However upon comparison to my other JC portaits on my other 2oz sized coins(Gothic silvers) it seems to be present on all of my 1-2oz coins including the gold 2oz monarch. It is just particularly pronounced on the monarchs' coins especially the 1oz silvers. What do you guys think could have caused this weird but super neat effect, is it just how metal flows under the pressure of the die?
So I don't really think it is milk spotting on the silvers given the fact the gold coins has the same mark?
 
Ps: all the coins in the pictures are monarch coins, two silvers and one gold.
Ps: anyone know whats up with the QC stickers' business with RM, they only had it on half of the coins I got and they are all over the place, some on capsules, some in the box, the only consistent thing is all the coins with the QC stickers had QC issues lol.

Are you worried about the London office not being there when the coins arrive back, or the Russians occupying it?
Russian missiles shooting down the plane with your coins on?😉

Perfect, I am just considering if I should send my coins in for grading next week!

Couldn't find much. Emailed NGC instead. Will be back with any info from reply

I wonder what the terms of the insurance are? Whether it would be subject to delays or whether NGC or PCGS have a contingency plan for returning coins ungraded in the event of emergency 🤔
I'll do some research and report back when I get the chance.

Yep I checked the source code eariler it was two as well, however there are still 41 of the monarch 2oz gold and 11 of the monarch 1oz gold as of two hours ago, and through out the weekend from thursday actually I think they only sold 2 2oz gold because no one noticed I guess. But I just feel like this is a very very dangerous slippery slope of having a big super hyped up release and by artificially limiting the stock and have the coin sale out in a pinch then to slowly release the remaining coins covertly later on, I just can't see how this can be good for anyone, it seems to be undermining for RM's reputation and will likely make a lot of people mad(the people who got it for rrp for all the stress and 9am queue and obviously people who paid double or triple for paying that price after they thought it sold out lol)

Comically bad. The Royal Mint has descended into a sheer incompetence. They can’t even understand the difference between a box and a capsule.
Do it!

On a side note, do you guys know how likely will NGC conserve a coin that looks almost perfect with a 5x loupe, as I want to checked the conservation option for all of my coins(ten or more) for this submission just incase they find it can help with the grade, but I am also worried that they will hit me with a huge bill for the conservation as they ended up conserving all the coins...!

Do you guys normally check the conservation option even if you think that the coin most likely does not need conservation? Thanks!

Yea, another reason why I want either all first release or none is I want the same label on all my coins to statisfy my OCD lol.

If this were my coin, I would probably give this a go and see how conservation does. The line between 69 and 70 is ridiculously fine (and very subjective).

The gimmick of it does nothing for me. When I’ve been looking at picking up the odd graded coin from eBay, etc. I actively search around for the standard label if I can find it to keep everything consistent.
