Quite a long piece basically saying that, no matter the way it's presented, the Coronation is deeply Anglican:

I am looking forward to the Charles III revision of the Bible, he likes his cheesemakers (Duchy Originals)!

kimchi got a reaction from Aldebaran in Best Royal mint sets to collect??
I don't see anything really myself, I think that ship has sailed with the price of gold and the VAT on silver.
I'd probably go for either TBs 1/4 gold if the premium is not too high, otherwise stick to deals on here (there have been some crazy cheap Proof Sov deals lately - but you can't pick and choose your dates to build a collection, you get what's on offer at the best price).
If I was looking now I'd go for simple humble silver Brits (maybe spot an alternative if something like the myths and legends came out at a low premium, but with some sort of quality!) and gold bullion Sovs (looking preferably to get older QEII years at low premium, as they are a good bet right now, and/or new issues at release).

Oh blimey, with all the religions tied up I was going to make a joke about 'one ring to rule them all' but I see there is a Coronation Ring 🤣

Charles is recognised by Israel as a descendant of David - very significant, in Islam (which he's often praised) too.
Meanwhile the new Cross of Wales that's going to feature in the Coronation includes fragments of the True Cross (supposed crucifixion cross) given to him as an accession gift by the Pope.

Prince Phillip was regarded as a God by some of the people of Vanuatu. Has the mantle passed down to his son and if so is Charles aware of this potential conflict of interest ?

I think the bigger question here is... why is Stefan Dennis - a.k.a. Paul Robinson from Neighbours - in charge of the Hallmarking process?

I suppose this means that Canadian coins, at some point, will be updated to no longer have FIDEI DEFENSOR, FID DEF or F D on the circumscription.
I suppose it’s only a matter of time before Charles, with his multi-faith, diversity, community of communities outlook, will make this change in the UK and everywhere else.
As Charles keeps pulling out one brick after another from his own wall, it’s looking more and more likely (to me) that the Monarchy is going down a path of abolishing itself.

I think Charlie will be perfectly happy to allow his subjects to be led along a path of destruction by way of Schwab’s ideology, mass vaccinations, insects replacing foodstuffs, mass irradiation courtesy of 5G masts, and a carefully applied erosion to human rights. That said, he does cut a splendid profile adorned with his crown on the new 2023 sovereign so I forgive him all that. 🤣

Plastic container, lined with foil. Poured boiling water on some soda crystals and dropped the coins in.

Sneaky bar stewards cut it by more than half since last year while inflation is roaring. What a sick joke

kimchi reacted to James32 in silver dilemma what to do
By the letter of the law, yes CGT is payable on the profit margin.
Now one of those rogue souls like "Robin Hood" or suchlike would probably suggest..
1) do a direct swap ( no money changes hands) you would need to make the trade favourable to the gold owner for obvious reasons.
2) do a cash sale and a cash buy ( obviously this isn't financial advice and deserves the electric chair as punishment 😆 😄

kimchi reacted to SeverinDigsSovereigns in Is seeking 70 the slow decline & death of coin collecting ??? what's your thoughts
Let's ask these questions:
Can you get 69, resubmit, and get 70 back?
Can you get one grade from PCGS, crack out and send to NGC, and get higher grades and vice versa?
Does this substantially increase the sales value of your coin?
If you answer yes to all above, then I think it's a yes to your question. Furthermore, while I agree that grading services help with verification and neutral assessment of condition, the entire idea of grading could be abused by all parties at the cost of collecting as a whole. More submissions, more grading fees, more profits for sellers, and everyone resting their coins in plastic holders, locked away, without ever looking at them.
Personally I don't mind spending a bit more for coins in higher grades, but once I get them I break the slabs. Still they'll be in capsules, but capsules are round at least.

kimchi reacted to Organics in Unusual Sigma Metalytics Readings
I have to say, I have found their response time and action on this question to be first class. Always happy to support smaller business’s, especially when they change their website to make things crystal clear now to future buyers.
I feel that the PMV is definitely worth having, especially if you’re testing for 999+ silver/gold, which makes up the majority of my stack. The one time I venture into Sovereigns and this situation came up 🤷♂️.
So with my sigma, scales (digital and antique brass ones), ping test, digital callipers and good old eyes, I think I have most bases covered 🤦♂️
