Thanks for your hard work again!   Suppose if someone thought incuse  was "stuck into"  then excuse was the opposite? 
I'm not trying to make any incuses for anyone 🤣 

I will not be queuing and suggest you all do likewise 😆
 
Neither will my wife be in the queue

There is so much to religious  iconography of St George Slaying the Dragon that most overlook or meanings or get lost overtime,  Ascalon, the holy sword that becomes a spear is named after the city of  Ashkelon in modern Isreal is only one element of this highly religious symbol.  
We have a Sword/spear named after a city in Isreal, a Turkish solider who was martyred for his religious beliefs , and theres other religious symbolic elements that I dare not say what they actually mean to some faiths.   
The "sprit" of St  George, is used in many European faiths and religions, I have researched the myth and the man for years.    The earliest depiction of St George I have seen with my own eyes dates back to around 400-700 AD, a burial shroud made by the coptic christians.  St George was put to death in 303 AD so it would make it one of the earliest depictions there is.      
Theres all sorts of interesting references of St George the military saint  in the crusades  and of course the battle of Agincourt.  
 
 
 
 
 
 

Thank you.
I use to pay for flatware / hollowware in good functional condition from spot, up to 10% over spot if are really nice.
For coins, of course more, depending of rarity, scarcity and condition.
For example, for 1 kilo of sterling silver spoons I have paid £560 posted. This is 4.6% over today's spot.
For the egyptian set (.900 silver) I have paid @12% over today's spot.

Some lovely bits there. Do you know how much you paid per gram or per ounce?

@Paul bodged something together out of some footage I took a bit ago……thought you might appreciate the sound track.!  
 
 

I pretty much just use a revolute card for internet purchases. I try to keep my personal bank separate at just let it do its thing. I once had a stopped payment on here and revolute cleared it within a couple of hours of filling in the info of the buyer. I never leave much money on the revolute as I use it as kind of a security barrier between my account and the world of potential dodgey.

@Jeffers46 another PF70 Una & Lion up for auction in CC latest auction - if you're interested what it ends at 

Thanks James. I have been a silent reader, so still been around mostly.
 

Happy days. Thanks Paul.
 
Good to see some strength in the market for this one still.

I sold mine to Frenchie, but that's a very healthy price.

Thanks all for the comments. Very interesting. They have to go with Pistrucci...
Lets hope that when financial conditions improve for the nation that people return to collecting these types of series! My mortgage rate goes up soon and then I will have no spare cash for coins or crypto.

Good afternoon all,
I would like to gather the most esteemed opinions on the internet regarding this topic, from the best forum around.
This series started off so well, the Una and the Lion release strongly followed by the Three Graces. Since then, sentiment towards the series seems to have decreased, with the latest release, the Petition Crown, still available to buy direct from The Royal Mint. 
I know there have been concerns regarding the 2-coin issues, but isn't this required as the coins must have the current monarch on the obverse? Therefore to get both the obverse and reverse, the two coins would be necessary. In my opinion it worked quite well on the Gothic Crown, the depiction of Queen Victoria is stunning. 
Is it the designs? The price? Quality issues? The extra coin weights added post-Una? Something else?
Personally I find all the designs quite spectacular, I am yet to add the petition crown to my collection but I definitely will.
In your opinion, what does the series need to revive it to former glory?
I hear rumours of the George and Dragon design being the next release, hopefully this signals the Pistrucci Great Engraver era of coins and will go some way to achieving that, he has some phenomenal designs.

Wow there are certainly bidders around in the right markets!
Is that Hansons auction house the chap from TV's Bargain hunt? I suppose he would be well trusted.
Has anyone seen a 2019 Una and the Lion PF70 sell recently? Cant seem to find the current going rate

Cheers Paul
