I did have a few bars, which we've now got in Indonesia.  The production process is much the same as coins - planchets are cut out of strips of gold and stamped in a press.  Sometimes the bars also have serial numbers stamped onto them.

At current spot, 20g is a bit rich for most folks, but I guess they're expecting to get punters for them.  Maybe rich Saudis.  PAMP put out a wide range of that sort of stuff, too.

Sorry to jump in on the thread but are you doing shipping orders?😁 stunning workmanship and if you could slip another 5-10g in your handbag I’d be very grateful. If I don’t ask……

Nobody ever knows.

people quote all the factors, political, financial, and geographical disturbances but it means nothing. It’s a yo-yo.

Looks to be heating up in Taiwan, could see some price action next week.

Yep, I hope so.

Will double my turnover and give me more money for Goooooold.

Coming home to daddy with baby 1/10.😁

Cheers Fella.

Maybe a crappy 2oz Proof Silver coin (delivered by Christmas) in an Aldi bag for £800 from the RM.

1/4 please.

@Digby45 @HonestMoneyGoldSilver Bit of a bargain.

I think some has to do with currency as that market is open.

Is that the sound of a microphone being dropped😁

These have finally arrived. I'll get prices updated shortly. Thanks much. 

How many did you get your hands on?

Just got my 2oz Bull today. Looks good quality so far.. but I bought it on a whim.

I would recommend someone like @BackyardBullion to broker your deal. He’ll check the deal, test and an only charge a nominal fee. He is highly recommended on this forum and completely trusted by members.

Dibs if sale doesn’t go through.

yeah i get that. nominal sizes and tolerance are what i'm focussing on. as long as i can eek out a good 3D model that works (with printer and coin), then i'm happy

Does it have a aperture/ dispersal width from the machine manufacturer?
Will give you an offset to size.

And to think that this started as an innocent DM to a helpful couple of members, asking if they needed anything printed to say thanks for advice 🤣

Sorry fella. Just ocd kicks in. I’ll leave.

obviously feel free to use your setup to create sov data for me 

This is a laser measuring devices for medical. Sovereigns can fluctuate madly on size. Trying to tighten down to a half a thou might not work. That’s all.

The sizes are on RM website and BBP.

A tinkerer. Me too, a lot.😁

Whats the tolerance on printing-might be worth considering?

A member has suggested a pocket size tester for sovs. all 3D printers print slightly differently and aren't as precise as you'd want when it comes to dimensional accuracy. i obviously have several mitutoyu digital verniers, but the object here, is for me to produce a pocket jig using my 3D printer, for someone else to accurately spot a fake sov or half sov (dimensionally) without carrying a caliper. this thing i'm knocking up is to tell me what CAD size a sovereign hole is in comparison to what i tell my printer to print

 

I used to program CNC Lasers as part of my job 20 odd years ago

Lumonics Laser from 20 years ago😁 

This is quite similar with scales.

I think most people have a Vernier instead of samples. You’ll never need to go outside of .00. 
If you do, I have a laser thingys you engineers might know a bit about….

Relatively, yes. Once I’ve designed the tube and lid itself, I’d have to take a logo and convert it to a 3D file and then merge the 2. Hope that makes sense

Appreciate you are a fine engineer but maybe look at the cost of raw material, print time cost and whether you can get a clear material for tubes. Might be a little expensive. Just my uneducated opinion of course.

Replace watch grooves with coin recesses top and bottom.

There’s nothing like it, that’s why I said it.

How about a watch Roll flip design with slots vertically instead of horizontally. 
Coloured for sizes.

No decent logo file. Need a high resolution one to make it worthwhile. No point in adding logo if it looks c**p. Also, wouldn’t use logo without chris’ permission 

Exactly. I wouldn’t do it without his permission as you know mate

Definitely permission-no dispute.

BYB has a logo and maybe suitable.
