I am getting ready to sell A LOT of very collectable coins, I will tag you in the listing (or PM you) when I am ready bud

2017 Niue Darth Vader (first one I think - ?) and 2018 Stormtrooper.

@sovereignsteve is correct and if she sold it a few months later it should have been roughly the price declared for Probate = no tax due and so no need to inform Mr taxman. Estate Agents (aka crooks in my book) always are extremely 'conservative' for Probate Valuations, but if she sold it shortly after either 1) the Executor did not value it correctly and properly for Probate or 2) by he time she sold there had been a huge market surge. Either way this a legal matter imvho, I wouldn't waste time and money with accountants. Good luck!

Have you calibrated your scales?

I had a similar question about some 2016s that I fully believed to be genuine. They said that as long as they were a little overweight (never under) that is within 'tolerance' for silver coins. Of course it's a different story for gold, that should always be spot on (no pun intended)

Does anyone else draw a distinction between the 'classic' series to 2021 and the redesign (font, border etc) from 2022 onwards? Personally it was a bit jarring for me and I've either spent too long with my Kook collection or am a boring old fart (more than likely both!) and with the change to Charlie as well found it sadly easy to consider my collection (only the 1oz regular designs, including the P20 set) 'complete'. I've just found some privys, once I find the rest (only the 2018 duplicates so far) I'll be looking to move some on if anyone can recommended where they're best appreciated?: 2016 - lunar monkey 2017 - panda 2018 - lunar dog (also have pandas in other storage) Or happy to do a deal involving a swap for other ones I don't have

I might have one (mouse with corn right?) but not 100% sure, I'd have to find it and make sure of condition and that it's not a 2oz (don't think it is). Sorry not very helpful I know but just in case you draw a total blank elsewhere I can try to have a look for it next week

I'm sure @backyardbullion will be mortified and is a completely innocent party here. you've taken it very well - well played!

Webpage saved in case edited and @ChrisSilver needs to investigate.

Late payment fine is £1000 I believe mate according to HMRC website (I presume plus interest given the timeframe). If they accuse her of deliberate tax evasion they can try to hit her with a Civil Fine, but I think this would be easily defensible (how on earth was she meant to know)? But might need a good lawyer (IF it gets that far). I would look to see if she has any legal advice cover under her home insurance policy. All imvho, I am no legal bod, good wishes

What's oil got to do, got to do with it? What's oil but a second hand crustacean? £1860.25

I got out a while back, isn't it the big seven or eight propping the whole thing up?

Many thanks! You could have left it after the first sentence tbh, I am not completely supine stupin d**k turpentine dumm you know!

Wassat for those of us who are not rocket surgeons?

Well, that was a 'bit of a drop' in ten minutes 😮

I remember when sovs broke £200 and some people on here panicked and started selling. I also remember when we all 'revolted' a few years later because a certain bullion dealer put the modern India Sov (assayed) up from £250 to just over £300 (@cobrastacker may be of interest to you bud). And, who can forget 'Harrington and Burn'? 🤣

If so why did they immediately delete their entire back catalogue? No-one could buy their (suddenly very much in demand - that stunt and others made them famous) back catalogue after that, and so they didn't earn a penny (from sales). It's a rhetorical question, largely, just meant to make folk think Anyway! Back on topic!

The man with no family who hasn't crossed the 'rainbow bridge' has absolutely nothing to lose...

The moors I think, but yes, 'weird' chaps! Note they didn't burn their gold or silver, 'just' worthless paper...almost prophetic...or just plain crazy? 🧐

Yes, looks like the 'sprinkles' we get at my local ice cream place 🤔 Mind you, we always enjoy them and have a lot of fun after, even if things sometimes get a bit surreal!

Isn't the time limit for keeping records six years?

Absolutely! A story like this is priceless (and unless desperate for funds may I suggest this inheritance is too?)! Someone joining up to properly catalogue and research their dear late grandfather's beautiful collection (giving it a second appreciative run through the family)? Brilliant!

It were gravel in my day, room temperature IF YOU WERE LUCKY. And that were after working a 27 hour shift per day down't mine, being dragged for miles by a dead horse over hill and dale (I am sorry for that btw Dale), being hung drawn and quartered, and that was before your ma disemboweled you so she could cook up some stew for the rest of the family. Luxury! £1922 odd.
