Goldfinga

Oh my word..that is some collection my friend..incredible. I know a little bit about them...not that much really but I know people that fix them and that used to deal in them a few years back. I used to own a couple myself but sold most of them.

They are heeere!!!

Hello welcome to TSF, yia sas, kalosorisate.

Hi, I don't know who it is made by but unfortunately it is silver plate and not sterling silver. The second letter marks are EPNS which is Electro Plate Nickle silver. Nice tea-pot though and lovely makers marks so it looks like a quality item, but silver plate is worth a lot less than high grade or sterling silver. I hope that helps. Goldfinga

Mine looked pretty good also!

Absolutely beautiful ❤️

Griffin is the most popular design of the 10 designs, these have the lowest (shared anyway) mintage of the 10 coins in 1/4 oz proof and its the last chance to get them, I think they will do well - not financial advice of course but I think they are a good shout. 

Only downside is that they are £605 which is considerably more than the first issuing at £465

But, gold has gone up £400/oz since then!

I agree totally with Mr BYB! This is only my opinion but I would think that the more sought after of the Queens Beasts collection are the English Lion, the Griffin, and a close third would be the Red Dragon Of Wales, maybe a slight difference in collectability between the bullion coins and the proof coins, but again IMHO, and this is just my opinion, the Griffin would be a good one to have in most of it's denominations and sizes, as probably the most sought after one in the collection and it is also the last proof of the series to come out, even though the bullion was the second coin out of the ten in the series that was released.   

It's a beautiful coin and one that most people would like to own so prices will be strong for a while yet!

Hatton Garden Metals still have a few 20 Francs left@MrTT , one of them might be an angel. 

In my opinion and experience they are one of the best for bullion stuff, and if they have quite a large quantity in of a particular coin, they will even pick the better ones out for you if you ask them nicecly enough 😁

the 2oz Queen coin is lovely 

mintage 53 

Oh wow!!..that does look lovely!

And well done on getting that coin @Allroad ..its a beauty!!

I have never personally bought directly from them myself @Allroad  but we used to do large group orders through a member on here called Backyardbullion, and there was never any issues i don't think, not as regards to making payment anyway. There are still some group orders getting made now but we use the EuropeanMint.

It is the cheapest I've seen for a while, the 2oz kooks koalas and crocks on European mint work out a little bit more but are a more premium coin. They are the next cheapest are pre order

It looks like it is the cheapest at the moment @Troy77 

Fill your boots @SilverPirate007 ..16.30 for a silver coin in today's climate 🤣

No VAT from gold silver.be

That's right! BYB used to do the group orders from there before we moved to European mint.

18.68 euros and less than 1000 in stock.

 

Well spotted @dga00 ..i think it works out at 16.30 sterling, but only 130 left for now..it wont let you put more in the basket.

WOW ❤️

Just curious: Do we know which bands will be featured on the forthcoming Music Legends coins?

If Sex Pistols and/or Joy Division will be among them, I'd stay awake all night to be in time for ordering    Otherwise... I don't know...

If i am not mistaken, i think Elton John is next on the list!

5 X 1kg silver bars (4X Metalor + 1 X Heraeus)

Silver proof RM R2D2, BB8 + C3PO

I have added some pics of the reverse of the coins as there are no pics on the RM website. 

The mintage of these is only 750 so if anyone is thinking of buying grab one quick as my R2D is no. 614 and C3PO is 408 and I ordered a couple of days ago.

I'v just ordered a few of the Star Wars stamp and coin sets, after seeing your post.

Quite a low mintage of 750 so should be a good buy!

It’s nice, you could also check out the 1oz gold Swan from the Perth Mint, the same dealer also has this in stock 

Thanks again  @shortstack68 i'll do that!

Does it look as good in the hand as it does in the pictures? I haven't bought any 1 oz gold coins yet but i'm looking

to do so..maybe this is the one to go for?
