Coins for tax breaks, maybe, but certainly also enjoyment. Arts and arts are different. A Monet or a Rembrandt will be worth it as long as you could afford them, the poet-mordernist bland paper or balloon sculptures aren't . Even coins are different though. A Polish 100 ducat for £10m is worth every penny, but I see the flowing hair dollars or some Cali private tokens with contempt. Remember, the latter two have gold versions that will fetch far more!

Don't think they are of any significance. However, if they come at roughly the same price then why not?

Any obverse uniface?

Didn't pass even then for fears of frustrating the provokative losers. It never changed

I was looking for a Wyon's rejected China medal, then I realised I couldn't afford it. https://www.coinworld.com/news/world-coins/rejected-medal-design-depicting-dragon-soars-in-sale.html

Ah sorry I thought you meant the BP one. Pricing for medals are a hot mess. This medal you showed would get Details grade from NGC for being mounted. On the other hand, I've seen PCGS slabbing the ribbon with the medal and grading both. Also medals have regiment names, sometimes receipient names, too. That may add to prices...

I was being very sarcastic

Gold doesn't milk so coronation Brit/cypher are quite good. Of the two my personal preference is the Brit though

Hey! They're doing very well now. They're a sitting member of the UN Human Rights Council (with some other well-done countries) https://www.ohchr.org/en/hr-bodies/hrc/membership Also see how they sort Australia, Canada and USA as "West Europe & others" and list other countries as "Latin America & Carribeans" or "Asia Pacific". They just really can't find excuses to place Japan in "Western Europe" as well.

That roughly translates to "a rare occurrence of an elected Labour majority" It's quite surprising there has only been 3 elected Labour PMs, although we seem to be on course to have the 4th who professes to be reminiscent of the last. God help us. Thought the flags read "fairness and equality for all" Never mind

I wish they will do a laureate head in the future though. The crown on the 2023 coins is too cartoon-like. I personally don't like the combination of heraldic representation and realistic portrait.

Israel still suits America and the West until the last soviet influence on ME fades away. It's not fading away, however. Decolonisation is a monster America unleashed themselves, but the numerous pan-Arabic movements, Islamic Revoluition ideologies, were a creation of USSR, outlast USSR, and is now taken over by China etc. However, there's a difference between "suits America" and "supported by America". America has made numerous diplomatic errors in the 20th century, the biggest of which was giving China away so they were taken over by the socialists. It was also a huge mistake not to stand with the Pahlavis. Yes that's what I mean by ignoring the warrants. And we need Israel more than Israel needs us. So we'd better hope America sticks with their support. Iran, Hezbollah, Houthis, etc won't suddenly become friendly to us if we drop our support for Israel. They'll look at the Mediterranean next. Edit: re Blair war might be the least of his crimes. His sysmatic butchering of British tradition and national identity is only the more appaling. He was not alone in believing something had to change for the new millennium, and things did change though for the worse. I wanted to call this millennialism, but found it was already used for a certain Christian denomination. I'd like to call this neo-millennialism. And it seems to get worse by the day.

Sent to the court by SA who also completely ignores court warrants for Mr. Putin. The truth is no one cares about international courts.

Not much. But good news for LMT, RTX, BA, BAE etc Wait not BA, not that one

BBC made some good series in the past. But those aren't in the licence fee domain. There were some good culture products but most went down with culture itself.

"But we need an unbiased national broadcaster to educate the people!" "Do you rather see the ADs?"

But that's not a case of admissible/inadmissible evidence and cannot be referred to in the situation I mentioned. License fee is an absurd idea through and through. But I can see it has a lot of proponents outside of this echo chamber of our own.

Might be off topic but I've always thought coins were better. For bars though, my personal favourite is the Royal Mint one with heraldic beasts: My argument against bars is that, for UK residents like myself, coins are CGT-exempt while bars are not. And I prefer cast than minted bars in general. Cast bars don't get much design on them (hence I like the Germania bars because of that little logo stamped)

They need to catch you watching TV to do anything. Not sure if they could camp outside of your house and film you 24/7 to produce any admissible evidence in court. It'll depend on previous cases which are unheard of. Of course, there is absolutely nothing they can do if you don't even have a TV. The BBC robbery also applies to online streaming services, but they've made sure their programmes are unwatchable enough that no one would venture into their online fantasy land. Those who do would have willingly paid for the licence anyway.

I don't read charts, price predictions, etc I just buy to live like my profile pic (still a long way to go)

Selling copy coins is illegal as @Orpster said above. One wonders if this could be a matter for the police...

Especially during dips like this Especially with some magnanimous TSF members racking up at ATH and selling at dips

So am I. But they all grade rather low. And I think for a reason, too. Their matt surface seems finer than the American matts of the same period and modern matts like the sotd, and a simple rinse with water or rubbing with velvet (in which they were all housed) could strip them of the original surface.

More horror story: these chavs' votes count just as yours

Could work nicely for the old sovereign sets. 1887, 1893, 1902, etc Also you could send a set of graded PF70 and ask them to re-holder
