Dear all,
With some sadness I write to confirm that monsmoy died recently. It was an unexpected death and I am beyond sure he will be a great miss to everyone.
He was the perfect gentleman and had a real eye for beautiful coins. His collection is a thing of beauty and will no doubt provide for his family as he wanted.
In order to give the family some privacy I am not posting specific details, but I am considering a small auction to raise money for a charity in his name. More to follow on that.
In the meantime, his wife will be looking to reset the password here in order to make sure that all pending deals are satisfactorily completed. If you do have any outstanding business please message him. If it helps, I am happy to take messages and share them directly.
As a last point, I thought I would repost one of his helpful messages. He always had time even when he was learning himself, and this message reflects that:
 
“The whole discussion regarding collecting, stacking and liquidity is interesting and there will be differing views.  I, too, am relatively new to the the world of physical PM, but have some thoughts:
1.  Silver coins are nice, but I question the real sense if truly stacking.  Are we really thinking that at some point we would use them in exchange for goods and services?  Is there a high risk that once you start buying coins, the greed monster kicks in and, where you may have deliberately said "split between Brits and Maples" only, it soon turns into Kooks, Krugers (ASEs if someone is selling cheaper than normal) etc? Also, they tarnish!
2.  One common maxim is that you watch the gold versus silver ratio.  Whilst the number is deemed high, as now at a little under 80:1, you buy silver.  When that number drops, perhaps to 50, you sell the silver and buy gold.  If you follow this, then why not just buy manageable bars (10oz, 250g to 1kg)?
3. Everyone considers different factors when discussing the future of silver. My hope is that any manipulation of the price is relaxed/stopped, but I am also conscious that something seismic may catch us all off guard as Govs could introduce measures to control the price in line with a growing industrial consumption (Indeed, something sooner may happen if the bank exposure is truly understood). If the former, and the aforementioned ratio rebalances, the stackers are quids in with multiple 100% ROI. If the latter, we could all be sitting with dead ducks and wishing we just bought gold.
4. Sovs v Brits.  Yes, Sovs theoretically are easier to sell on at a time of need.  If you are in a time of need, is £360 or £720 going to be sufficient?  
5. If saving for the future, ergo the long investment, then the common cry is the cost now and the premium is less important (than if you are flipping). If you are saving for the future, perhaps you are investing a set amount per month, then surely it's best still to buy the highest amount at the lowest premium?  The aesthetics and heart needs to take a second place to a more business approach.  Of course you can go down the more specific long term investment, buying a rare coin or sets of highly graded or similar, but that is another game and not stacking.
6. Consider the current CGT and VAT rules.
7. A couple of final thoughts: 
a) Collecting coins, gold or silver, can be addictive. Don't get attached
b) There are many sovereigns; there are many different Au and Ag coins. Limit your horizon
c) Consider storage space and insurance
d) Talk to people that have been in this market for sometime.  I have found people on TSF to be extraordinarily kind when sharing advice and thoughts as well as services
7. Last point is that I wager that what you are planning now, your strategy, will have changed within 12 months.
All the best with whatever you do.“
 
With huge appreciation.
Andrew.
 
@ChrisSilver is aware this message is being posted. 

I've not met or dealt with Monsmoy. Our thoughts are with his family. 
 
Thank you Andrew for sharing the sad news of the passing of our fellow forum member. 
 
Tsf is a community, and we have lost one of our own. 

🚩 I've lowered the price a bit and I have until Tuesday evening the 4th, to place my order. Again, I'm not guaranteed I'll get 100% of my order, so fingers crossed. I will LIKE your comment once I have final numbers. 
Thanks so much for bearing with me as I go through this teething pain with Carpathian Mint.

Hi all,

Context:
I have accumulated a bit of silver coins to my collection and after auditing my purchases, turns out I either have more than intended or they do not fit with my many collections I started out, so trying to free some of them and to use the extra funds to give me better focus on my future collection (meaning buying more from all of you nice folks on TSF...best forum ever)

Details:
Selling as bullion to avoid disappointment, though I do not see any tarnishing, dents, scratches or milk spots on these.
The only coin that looks a bit less clean is the 1977, but it is expected for the age, though no browning, milk spots and all details of the coin are visible and sharp.
They have been kept in airtight PVC free containers without plasticizers or any other acid/toxic materials.

The 6 coins are below and in the same order as on the pictures:

1 x 50 Francs Hercules Liberte Egalite Fraternite 31g 1977 - £32
1 x Philharmoniker 1oz 2011 - £27.50
1 x Athenian Owl NIUE AOE 1 oz 2020 - £27.50
1 x Alderney Dynasty from Destiny 2014 - £35 (seems to be proof finish. The capsule has its edge broken, because it is one of those that extend not sure how to explain it. Otherwise it is tight)
2 x Year of the Dragon 1/2 oz 2021 - £20 each

Payment:
Happy to make some bundle offer.
UK only, prefer BT over Paypal Friends. PP at own choice and risk.
You can also PM me with your interest and questions or feedback since I do not have much experience in silver yet

Kind Regards,
Paw

Does anyone know why their website needs to be down before a new release of a limited mintage coin (as many other are) Is this just to create hype?
They could easily add queue once you are inside the site and just want to visit the Great Engravers page, rather than the whole site being down until 9am.

I often volunteer to show my passport when buying alcohol. I have been told I don't look 25!
