2017 1/10 Kangaroo 250 diffuser gel with some strips of 4 stop filter to give the device something to reflect.

Not really enough contrast on the obverse, but here's one in the flesh, as it were.

I think I prefer IRB's portrait to the Jody Clark one. Even though it's a tiny little 1/10 oz coin, the details are really sharp on the 1999.

At least we can say 'Here there be dragons.'

Do you think they need any other reason? Dollars to donuts there has been a meeting somewhere that somebody suggested that they should 'monetize' their 'intellectual property.'

There's any number of incompetent white, male jobsworths in the work force. You don't need diversity to explain that.

It's pretty clear that the Royal Munt have some culture or staffing problems. Whether it's management who don't care or staff who want to take the mick out of rich Knuts buying expensive gold coins, there's clearly a lot of issues with the training and/or motivation of the staff. This sort of thing always comes from the top.

closed 1999 1/10oz gold proof Britannia (with box and COA)
Silverlocks replied to breaktwister's topic in UK (Ungraded)
@SovereignBull - here's one with a box and COA. -
It gets even more fun. The cartwheel effect you can see on uncirculated coins is caused by the coin being squeezed slightly outwards from the pressure of the minting process. It elongates the small impressions made by the frosting slightly, and this affects the way the coin reflects the light.
-
Normally on the die, although it could be applied after the coin is minted. I don't think that approach is normally taken with normal sized coins, but sometimes it is done with larger coins such as 1kg.
-
Frosting is the satin finish on the coin. Depending on the design it might be on the whole face of the coin, or just the device (or just the fields in the case of reverse proofs). It's quite delicate and marks easily. Here's a picture of the obverse of a proof Brit. The fields are a mirror finish, and the effigy and inscription are frosted. You can also see frosting on the rim of the coin.

closed Silver and Gold britannias various dates
Silverlocks replied to ms0533x's topic in UK (Ungraded)
I suggest that you try offering a specific price. 'Close to spot' is a bit ambiguous, I would suggest that a going rate for 1oz Brits would be about spot+3% give-or-take from a dealer and maybe somewhere between spot and 2% over spot on the secondary market. Krugerrands go at a little bit less than that, and most other 1oz coins are a little bit dearer. Try offering a specific price and see if you get any nibbles. -
2023 Perth Mint 1/4 oz Kangaroo The 2024's just dropped; I'll probably get one of those quite soon as well. If only these were legal tender here.

@Aldebaran - is this up your alley? Quiet in the cheap seats. -
So, does this mean there's a wedding in the offing? Can we come and lower the tonparticipate in the celebrations?

Two centuries ago, in 1817 the Royal Mint introduced the new coinage including the iconic Sovereign, on which the Royal Mint would become world famous for its quality control. Today, more than two hundred years later, the Royal Mint is .. world famous for its quality control. I think you need to start turning 'Royal Munt' into a meme.

Well, clearly, you need to start talking loudly about exterminating all inferior human life.

I'm sure you're too sexy for that.

@Aldebaran - some 2003 brits if you're still after such an item.
