From the comments, I think they are very well known buyer and seller in that group. I expect it to be legit, even if it is pretty shocking.

Someone on FB bought this yesterday, within minutes of it listing. Anyone here got 61 grand sitting around doing nothing? Someone's got money.

Wen flip?

The lone individual craftsman capable of producing one item has always impressed people more than the long series of individual designers and engineers who incrementally created the technology capable of doing the same thing en masse. Both are impressive to me.

It was offered on the open forum, in a wanted listing. I wouldn't dream of conducting shenanigans. 😉

Sovereign for scale?

Let's just say I'm very glad it's in a slab, or I'd lose it when the door opened.

2017 1/50th ounce proof Krugerrand - PF70 UCAM Thanks to @ZRPMs. Purchased to both break my personal record for the smallest coin in my collection, and as a photography challenge. I've used the microscope to take these pics, since as you can see, the coin is less than 10mm diameter. I will try with the macro SLR rig some time this week, to see if I can a more arty picture. Remarkable a coin this size can be created at all, let alone it achieve the highest grade.

Perth all sold out now. I'll pick them up as and when. Not desperate enough for eBay.

Very nice. I haven't seen them pop up on any web sites yet. Perth certainly don't list them. If anyone was buying, I'd certainly be interested in sharing the postage costs. If they are in the UK yet, I can't find them.

It's just Bisto.

£256 for 5g is currently -16.7% premium. Yes, if you paid the invoiced amount, they would need to invoice you for the difference. Assuming they could show they had some agreement with you that further payment would be required.

Using the waybill number on the docs, you could phone them. I assume you've checked the docs on the parcel for an invoice. I have had issues with FedEx before. They didn't invoice me, and the first I knew was a letter from a debt collection agency, invoicing me for the duty, FedEx collection fee, plus the agency's own fee. Very unimpressed. I'd be tempted to be proactive.

Probably right after the Panthers. 🤣 Seriously, no idea. The schedule for the TBs seems to be all over the place.

Only those in the know at RM will... er... know. Since they sent them out before, then really there isn't anything preventing them from selling them again. They obviously met their quality control standards the first time, however low they may be, so they could simply inspect them again for any additional damage caused by the extra round trip. The replacements have invariably, in my experience, been better than the originals. So who knows?

Same. When I first saw the dragon design, I wasn't too keen. But like all the Tudor Beasts, especially the P+RP sets, they are really nice in the metal.

2024 Tudor Beast Dragon - 1oz Silver Proof and Reverse Proof These are replacements for the set I returned.

BY THE KING A PROCLAMATION DETERMINING THE SPECIFICATIONS AND DESIGNS FOR A NEW SERIES OF FIVE HUNDRED POUND SILVER COINS CHARLES R. | Proclamations | The Gazette and BY THE KING A PROCLAMATION DETERMINING THE SPECIFICATIONS AND DESIGN FOR A NEW SERIES OF TWENTY-FIVE POUND GOLD COINS; AND A NEW SERIES OF FIVE POUND SILVER COINS CHARLES R. | Proclamations | The Gazette

Yeah, I just read those exact ones. Interesting, although it's quite hard work ploughing through all the noise.

Thanks. This hobby just goes deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole, when you need to monitor royal proclamations.

Good guess. (or insider knowledge?) Bit of a tragic film to immortalise on a coin. But I can't think of any other vehicles that would do. Craig era doesn't do gadget vehicles other than Astons.

2024 Six Decades of 007 - The 1990s - 1/4oz gold and 2oz Silver Proof The replacements arrived, and are in pretty good condition. Love the boat chase up the Thames; one of my favourite Bond scenes. A good choice for the 90's. What do they pick for the 2000's?

Some Rwanda coins to fill a few collection gaps.

@stackerp5 https://www.adorama.com/alc/camera-shutter-count/ You’ll need to use the EOS Utility software to check the shutter count on Canon cameras. Once installed, follow these five steps: Turn on your camera and connect it to your computer using a USB cable. Open the EOS Utility software on your computer. Click on the “Camera Settings” tab. In the “Camera Settings” window, click on the “Shutter Count” button. The shutter count will be displayed in the “Shutter Count” window.

It took longer than I care to admit to realise that the nuggets are actually named after their shape, i.e. Australia, an eagle, a hand, etc. 🤦‍♂️
