    richatthecroft got a reaction from foinikas in Royal Mint - Great Engravers 2021 - Gothic Crown information   
    I'm very keen on the Gothic design- but you are right, the 1911 Florin Obverse/ Reverse design is fantastic.
    I smile every time I take a look at mine.  
    Another candidate would be the Wreath Crown- what a coin design that is.  

     
     
    I live in hope however, that the Pistrucci designed Prince Albert medal will be reproduced at some point.  It would look fab in Gold, Silver or Bronze😃

    Gotta admit, never, ever the same experience ordering from The Royal Mint on major release day. Up at 03:15 am local and put into the wait for 04:00 am local (09:00 am UK) queue time. Luckily queued up on laptop and mobile. 04:00 am queued at 607 on laptop and 4560 on mobile! Still took forty minutes to finally, finally get to The Royal Mint site for selection, of the only coin left, a 2 oz Silver. No worries, was truly the only coin I wanted for this release. And I did select for the March release continuity…these 03:00 am alarms are getting old…
    I got what I wanted and am satisfied (even after having an exchange with my AM a forehand), further I am glad to see those lucky enough for experience of a magnificent 2 oz gold…and I am saddened to have seen members having spent over two hours in queue to realize nothing left in stock.
    Overall a great community here that sticks together and supports each other with words of encouragement, thoughtful recommendations and jovial chiding to lift spirits.
    Thank you all for sharing in this experience and memorable Great Engravers day!!

    A lovely 1953 New Zealand Commemorative Proof Set.  Inaugural Portrait, fantastic Reverse designs and nicely presented.  
    Sets don’t come much more satisfying to own than this.  My favourites are the Crown, Florin and Penny 😃

    Royal Mint 2018 Silver Proof Collection
    Mintage - 596.
    The second annual set following the lamentable demise of the round pound coin proved to have an even lower mintage than the 2017. These 1p - £2 silver proof definitive coins were only available in this set I secured a wooden "Premium Proof" box - including the 2018 RM Medallion - for storage in preference to the original shiny black box. Further to French polishing it should look the dogs.

    Received my 2022 Sovereign from Chards today.  Coin was packed with a piece of bubble wrap inside the presentation box to keep the capsule from opening in transit which I really appreciated.  Specks in the picture are just on capsule, the coin itself looks great.  This was my first purchase from Chards.  It definitely will not be my last.  I'm very pleased. Thank you @LawrenceChardfor a quality purchasing experience.

    Nice old Carson City Morgan Dollar. Bought at the last @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions. Paid a small fortune for it but worth every penny.

    Hallo liebe Silberfreunde, heute möchte ich euch eine Münze vorstellen, die mich sofort vom ersten Betrachten an begeistert hat. Es ist der hundertste Jahrestag der Entdeckung 
    von Tutanchamuns Grab durch Howaer Carter im Jahr 1922. Bitte verzeihen Sie die vielen Bilder, aber ich bin einfach hingerissen von diesem fantastischen Stück.
    Grüße von Maxe und ein schönes Wochenende.

    So these arrived today, the 2012 5 coin set all PF70 grade. Never really thought I’d be interested in full sets until I got the 2022 but now I think I’ve got the bug! The 5 coin is most definitely a sight to behold. This is most definitely a long term hold. Would love to get an original box just to have with it. Would also love to get a full set in the 2016 sovereign as well

    Big thanks to @Tn21!
    Received this little beauty in the post! Love the use of stamps, so much more cool/interesting than just a SD label alone!!
    Now all I need to complete the set is a 10oz Greyhound at a decent price!  
    Got one? PM me please.

    After almost two weeks wait (had to self isolate due to Covid) I picked these babies up today.
    All inspected and in great condition.  No capsules had come undone and to the naked eye they look perfect.
