    After buying the HP set for my children they have now developed an interest in coins and are tracking the gold price. 
     
    Whilst we may find them tacky they are the gateway coins for the next generation of TSF members

    Thanks for this I got my children the gold 1/4 oz’s low ish mintage and still available at the mint, the original release date if I recall was when QE2 passed away.

    Gold purchases can be for a number of reasons,  including and in no particular order , savings outside bank or other scrutiny and control, benefits arising from capital gains tax exemption and if bullion ease of liquidity, an interesting pastime where you can meet like minded individuals and in some instances take a major dislike too, the opportunity to lose money on RM proof issues that are becoming daily and general collecting amusement 
    am sure more sensible reasons exist  but there’s a couple for you

    Can see it happening opening one returned box and putting it into a post out box, To me to you.
    QC is really bad, the only Proofs I have bought have been the Great Engravers, and every coin has had issues.

    @BackyardBullion heard the latest? Their silent auction for these 23 BU 2023 sovereign sets is no longer silent. All losing bidders getting emailed to advise their bids are not high enough to win, all winning bidders emailed to advise they’re in a winning position but that they may wish to increase their bid as losing bids have been notified they will need to increase to win! Scummy tactics from RM

    This is a really valid point that I'd somehow missed. They really are no longer any better than Westminster, Danbury, Tower, et all. And not a patch on the old Pobjoy. Government backed profiteering. Actually, none of the unofficial 'inferior' mints could get away with such shoddy work.
    I once saw a collection of Westminster coins, all copper plated with gold and/or silver. Tacky? Yes. Poor quality? No. They were all "mint" (in what used to be the true meaning of the word).
    Maybe these days when describing a used car as being in "mint condition" we ought to be describing the fact that it is dented, scratched, and has been quickly tarted up to achieve a vastly inflated price.

    When I first started collecting I fell foul of the RM, canny salesperson quickly spotted I was a newbie. Subsequently I have some nice old coins in tidy packaging with an SOA and warnings never to open lest the sophisticated grading EF is contaminated.
    The premium to comparative coins I’ve seen on TSF hurts like hell.
    Caveat Emptor foff they are exploiting trust and debasing the institution.
    Fortunately having laughed at subsequent attempts to fleece me with what’s best described as s*** they leave me alone.
    I wish you all the best in your endeavours. I hope the recipient of your complaint can read.
