xthomasx got a reaction from Airhead in 1917 Sovereign
The 1917 London Sovereign is one of the rarest pieces around. Although 1 million were made, only a one-digit number survived, and they sell for five-digit sums, if not more. That's what came to my attention immediately. Branch mint 1917 sovereigns are plentiful, so skillfully filing away the mintmark to create a London (no mintmark) impression would be my assumption.

Agreed, but note that the mintmark is not the only distinguishing feature. Some also have a little line around the edge of the coin where the gold paper meets to cover the chocolate. I fear this coin would not survive the bite test.

Jewel in the crown, the 1859 Ansell. Those who have heard the story know that its a pretty hard coin to get hold of and in good condition. Been after one of these for a long time (thank you @CadmiumGreen for the inspiration), finally picked one up. Lovely coin, centrepiece of my collection. It has a relatively old NGC label so will send it off to get it conserved and regraded as I think it could achieve a grade a little higher

Not today but throughout the week, these three coins arrived:
A Lunar III mouse with yet another Privy Mark ('Harvest'), mintage 5300 or so;
1 Oz Silver Proof and the sheet metal Completer, after a full 20 day delay at Langley Heathrow Worldwide Distribution Centre. At least, nobody charged any customs upon delivery. Seems I was lucky ☺️

xthomasx got a reaction from dicker in Who picked up QB completer coins - what did you buy?
I completely missed this issue, and when I finally saw it, all the gold and the larger silver was gone.
So I ordered the 1 oz Silver and the sheet metal piece. That's what I did for most Beasts. Let's see when it leaves the rainy island and arrives here in the rainy hillside of central-south Germany.

tbh i've always thought silver stacking was very niche, so to me these memes are never getting old

xthomasx got a reaction from FlorinCollector in Three graces coin
Now, finally, I received my 2oz silver Three Graces. It was held for more than two weeks by Royal Mail at Langley, and another day or so by the waylayers at Frankfurt airport, and over the weekend at my local post office. No time and equipment so far to check for dents or scratches, but happy that the odyssee is over...
They charged customs and an additional fee but no German VAT ☺️, so I got it cheaper than UK customers. Given the market value of the piece (no way I am selling!) this wouldn't matter anyway - but the govt is the last place I want any of my money to go to.
Another order from RM, pre-dating (!) the 3G order, is still held somewhere at Langley, waiting to 'leave the UK'.
