I feel some of the stick you have got has been a bit harsh. You do you and if you think charging a fee is what you want to do then go for it.
It will obviously have an impact whether positive or negative time will tell.
Good luck with it,

Finally tracked down one of these to complete my set that didn't break the bank.
A high price for the cardboard compared to just the coin which itself is relatively expensive for bullion silver.
Now battling with customs to have them apply the correct 5% numismatic VAT and not the 20% charged.

Today I unpackaged a few coins for my newest project - a collection of world silver Bullion coins. All pcgs so far grades 70. The plan is to make a plaque to hang on my wall to display them.

Some "conjoined" 1990 and 1991 kooks. I'm told originally these were sold from the mint in slabs of 10 coins.

motorbikez got a reaction from KeithSilver in Coin definitions as per Perth Mint & others
Here are Perth Mint's definition of Proofs Bu's and Specimen coins,I've added a few coins to hopefully clarify things,the proofs are all on the left of the photos
Proof Coin
The very highest quality collectable coin produced by The Perth Mint. Featuring a proof finish comprising a highly-polished table with frosted and/or coloured design elements.
Bullion Coin
A mass produced coin primarily aimed at precious metal investors. Finished with shiny design elements on a frosted table.
Specimen Coin
A collectable coin akin to a bullion coin with a frosted table, but also featuring one or more special numismatic treatments, including colour, gilding, antiquing, or the insertion of gems.
2oz lunar 2 snake proof and BU
Same coins showing obverse
1oz Lunar 2 mouse proof and Bu
Same coins showing obverse
1/2 oz lunar 1 rabbit proof and Bu
Same coins showing obverse
RAM's interpretations of proof and Bu,s also known as UNC/uncirculated.
Proof
A carefully struck coin using special dies with either a mirror‑like or matt finish. These coins are especially struck and the term is not used to describe a well‑preserved circulating coin. Proof is a method of manufacture, not a condition or grade.
Uncirculated (UNC)
Uncirculated coins are manufactured in much the same way as circulated coins except for the following:
More attention and time is given to the preparation of the die surface finish, The coins are struck with greater pressure than the circulating coins to improve the sharpness of the design. More care and attention is applied at each step in the coining process to minimise damage, consequently a much lower production rate of about 30,000 coins per press per day is achieved. Uncirculated coins are packaged individually into plastic sleeves, presentation folders or occasionally presentation cases.

Same coins obverse
I hope this helps clarify things.

Received these three beautiful coins today. Apologies for the photos- very poor light and iPhone camera not the best.
The 200th SOTD Matte Anniversary Albert Celebration Sovereign & the Silver Victoria 200th Anniversary Silver £5.
First impression is that the RM Quality Controller has served me well.
And as always, thanks go to @terakris for the 2005 Sovereign- you can never have enough 2005 Sovereigns.
