There has to be a way to remove milk spots, but this way is unfortunately still unknown to man.

Only way is melting the silver and burning off whatever chemical residue they left in the original blanks.

Gandhi almost made 80 but I guess bathing with female pubescent relatives (to 'test his chastity') might have helped a bit there?

Yeah pricing is a relative concept. What may seem expensive to someone, may be a good price to someone else. 

I'm used to buying 1/10th oz gold coins around the £190 - £210 range so for me it seems a little but pricey, but as ive said others may find the price ideal for them.

Not all 1/10ths are created equal! This is a good price imo on this coin (only second year of issue - first year worth a LOT more already)! But if you are not collecting Kooks and particularly this set then it's understandable if you think it's a bit expensive

Yes very nice coin indeed. Looks like it's in excellent condition too. Price is a little bit too steep for my liking but still a really beautiful example 👍

I think it's priced pretty well

My mother in law inherited a house 4 years ago from her neighbour who passed away. She sold it a few months later for £350,000 and from what I gather never informed the taxman.

@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!

The weight declared by the mint and on the certificate of authenticity is 27.4 grams, in reality when I weigh them I get values from 26.88 grams to 26.95 grams.

Have you calibrated your scales?

I have a wight discrepancy issue too with the Perth Mint.

I have one Perth Mint 1992 (1 oz KOOKABURRA) silver coin with an odd weight of 32.2 grams! I emailed the Perth Mint questioning this odd weight for one ounce of silver, and they told me that it's possible since they did not have precise equipment back in 1992!🙄

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 was curious as to roughly how much she would be expected to pay

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

The Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) measures the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables (the prices of gold and silver). A correlation coefficient of 0.7 to 0.85 indicates a strong positive linear relationship between the two variables, meaning that as the price of one metal (gold) increases, the price of the other metal (silver) tends to also increase and vice versa

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

The Pearson's r coefficient between gold and silver ranges between a moderate and very strong positive correlation depending on the period in question. In general terms:

I remember when I bought a Queen Vic jubilee head sovereign for £250 thinking that was expensive a few years back. You end up wishing for those days again.

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'? 🤣

Was funny money. Just a PR stunt.

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!
