Very misleading indeed. But I never expect shields when buying from bullion dealers.

That's a quarter ounce of gold! Well just found out that RM is sending me a silver proof Black Bull as an "act of goodwill' for them taking 4 months to complete my order... Worth it?

I’ve been looking for a nice old wooden box to keep my stack in for a while.  Came across this yesterday which is just fantastic.  I can’t wait to get it!! It’s a Victorian jewellery box dating for 1860-1890 and has been professionally restored.

I received these today
Would have been even better with coins...

You can't think of everything in terms of how many coins you could have bought, otherwise before long you're standing at the checkout in tesco thinking
