Probably because I am a slow learner!

Why is Chards so cheap?

That was my thinking before it was minted..just a shiny blobby mess just like the 2012 Diamond Jubilee bullion..The proofs are so much better 

Sorry to bore you…….another 5 coin set🤣

1958 from @Spyderand his knock out auction 

Big thanks to @Fenlander1 @DuncanWylieWilson @Tn21 and last but not least @spookyandroid

It was a pleasure @CazLikesCoins 🙂

No words really needed

Now whatever ever happened to that special trade deal that was trumpeted  with the states that was proposed when Brexit happened.
No cheap silver for the UK, again. 

Just received this from Atkinsons. Excellent offer in fairness. 

Folk have talked about a wealth grab from pension pots for many a year, I am old enough to remember Robert Maxwell plundering the pensions of his employees, instances are rare and few and far between. Also, many organisations, particularity public sector in the states do not have the resources to keep financing their obligations to members  years down the line, this is something different. The UK government does not have a pension pot for the state pension pot either, it just comes out of general taxation, but let’s not conflate this with private pensions.  I am easily convinced around arguments that the state will take your savings one way or tother but I am not convinced regarding pensions. The reason being is that the wealthy of this nation, I.e, the top percentiles, hold and have acquired more than half their wealth in their pensions. It is one of the best wealth generating vehicles we have and a big tax shelter. Now for the politicians to come along and retrospectively grab this money, mainly from their own? I don’t believe they would go down this route, the elites take care of each other. The wealthy have little in cash and you may find a haircut: bank bail in/ cash grab when the s**** hits the fan but the Uber rich will see this coming and have their assets elsewhere. To me, pensions are safe, have “free” money attached and encourage long term savings with the added benefit of compound interest but obviously folks must make up their own minds. I’m in my 50’s now, folks were decrying  pensions since my youth/ Maxwell era, but I wish I had saved like mad one into a pension from then, would be sitting pretty now and fairly confident it would last my lifetime and leave a legacy to pass onto my kids. 

A very quiet month last month for buying stuff whilst waiting for the memorial sovs to land but did buy a couple of things on the TSF pass the parcel. First was two lovely proof Brits from @Orpster

Also I added to the pot of Tudor Beasts and 2022 sovs. Time to move onto memorial sov bullion next.

Why don’t you set up a straw poll and see how many, forum members would potentially purchase on a group order,  given the right price/premium This may act as a persuader or have no impact whatsoever😄👍 

Selling coins describing them as proofs, flawless struct to the highest possible quality and passing them off with questionable quality control only for them to show flaws of every description you would find in circulated coins sounds like fraud to me.
To fraud a fraudster is justice for me.

Don't get it I'm afraid. There is no difference between coins of the same denomination regardless of which box they are in. They were put in boxes at random after all. In fact you'd be doing the Mint a favour, putting all the rotten eggs in one basket and saving them the trouble of dealing with more than one return. Also saving them return postage.

Many thanks to everyone who voiced their opinions on Sharps Pixley. Not having used them before was glad of the positive feedback. I duly ordered the Iberian Lynx
coin from them.  Has just arrived now and must say am impressed on all counts. Coin to my mind is a stunner packaged in a good capsule with the protection ring,
Their communication is first class also.

I'm unsure about these Memorial Bullion Sovereigns...got a feeling that they are all going to look too much on the reverse..Think they are going to be like the 2012 Diamond Jubilee Sovereign..The proof was good...But the Bullion was terrible 

I only buy if there’s free delivery and a chocolate coin thrown in; that being free also.
