Such a shame @Silverlocks he was a great person to deal with and Adino had a lot of contacts for coins difficult to source from here, Komsco proof coins / Egyptian gods 2oz series etc.

Thanks @Silverlocks there are many bullion versions for sale but I can't find any sellers of the silver proof versions. I used to buy the from @Panda6Pack but for personal reasons he has left the forum, (hopefully all is well for him)

Looking for 2023 Silver Proof Chiwoo Cheonwang and 2023 Silver proof Zi:Sin Lepus coins. Does anyone know of reputable suppliers ? Or even better have the coins for sale. Thank you

One please @Panda6Pack

@Panda6Pack if this isn’t already on my order please put me down for one please

Please put me down for 1 x 1oz if you have any spare, maybe a 5oz once you have the prices @Panda6Pack

@TheShinyStuff I agree with the choices you listed and also with the preferred options you mentioned. It is nice to know that someone else feels the same way as me about the mismatch and the preference of capsules boxes and COAs. It is more difficult to remedy with the small mintage, but who knows. This is a great forum and the solution just might be here with one of the members. Fingers crossed.

A debatable subject, are COAs important to you ? With the introduction of the "Great engravers" coin collection, so many people have jumped on the bandwagon to make a "quick buck". Good luck to the flippers, everyone has to earn money by whatever means are available. I am a collector, and it is becoming difficult at times to find some coins at reasonable prices due to the crazy prices these coins are selling for. One potential problem for me is the popularity of graded coins and the use of slabs. The reasoning for grading is obvious and the question "Would you prefer a perfect coin or a coin with all of the paperwork attached ? We all know that a COA with Number 001 on it does not necessarily mean that this was coin number 1 struck, we know how it works. Now here is my problem. I have collected all 11 x 10oz silver proof queens beasts coins, all in capsules / boxed and with COAs. So what I hear you say 11 PF70 slabbed coins would be better. Possibly so but that it not my case. One of my coins "The griffin" has been lost in transit somewhere ! The dealer I always used is genuinely upset about this and has sourced a replacement "slabbed" PF69 coin for me from overseas at no extra cost to myself. With a mintage of only 140 the choices are quite limited. A replacement capsule and box can be provided but a COA cannot. The Royal Mint will not provide a COA without having the coin ! NGC and PCGS allegedly throw away the boxes and COAs (why keep them as the coin has been graded and protected in the slab ! I will now have 10 coins in capsules and one in a slab, maybe cosmetic but a bit frustrating. Buying a display box with 10 coins with COAs and one slabbed coin without would put me off, would it put you off ? Has anyone else had similar issues ? Maybe the majority of people wouldn't really care as it is a high grade coin. Is there anywhere to get a COA for this coin other than creating a false cert ?
