Is that like a hole in one at golf?

Great job Mr Diamond, must be very challenging but worthwhile

A few bombshells about Grumpy Dave as well!

Sorry, don't like any of them at all except for the Wedge-Tailed Eagle which I think is really nice, it's just not a series I've collected.

I am a huge Panda 'fan' and think this one is a shocker myself, so much so I haven't bought a single one. Maybe rarity (comparatively) will be something it has going for it in future years (?).

That 'Hellraiser' coin is scary...

Such beautiful pieces and a lovely and very generous giveaway, great stuff!

Congrats and a very nice set of interesting coins there to giveaway, well done and subbed

Nice pick up!

Some of those proof designs are really nice imo

Aw such a shame about the milk spots, saw the dreaded 'pox' through the cap but good of you to take that off to 100% confirm

Most folk don't know anything close to what Tesla discovered, so it's 'interesting' that he's being promoted now while the really important stuff he found isn't ...I will just say 'free energy' and leave it there.

Interesting fact (maybe, and if iirc) Nixon's uncle is said to be one of the one of the main ones sent in to 'clean up' (steal, hide, secure?) his paperwork after he passed away in rather strange circumstances, and of course in poverty. Nixon being the one who told Trump he should run for the presidency in the late 80s I believe. Maybe interesting, just an aside!

Wow, a lovely and very interesting coin with superb presentation at that price over spot!

It's a shame about the slight problems with box but these can be remedied fairly easily with someone with the right skillset I believe

I wouldn't collect the series I don't think, can't see it doing anything much (imvho!) but if I already had the first one I might be tempted to perhaps carry on with the rest at release as long as the premiums remain low

A very important subject, thanks for that Jon. It's scandalous that any charity should be needed at all for veterans, doctors, nurses and paramedics. The number of homeless ex-forces folk on the streets in London if you get talking to them is staggering. I agree it would be good to know what % of this goes to the charity, perhaps it's on their website?

Yep PTSD is for life from what I've seen, and like so many other things goes unnoticed by others. I've had very poor/strange/badly handled notifications of family passing from doctors, paramedics and care home staff in the past. Looking back (in my experiences) I think they were all probably deeply affected and in shock themselves, these people need our support and a LOT more support from within the institutions in the first place. One paramedic who attended when a parent passed on told me he wished he could have a cigarette while we waited for the doctor but he wasn't allowed on duty (ffs!), so I insisted he did, the poor chap was shaking as badly as I was and probably risked a good telling off at least if he was caught/reported but blimey he needed it.
