  1. I think it’s important to pronounce foreign names correctly so I’ll try to remember that he’s a CHEE and not a KEY. Piedfort (P-A-4) and pie fort spring to mind. Sorry to see the state of the coin you received by the way.
  2. I have a 1989 proof double sovereign graded by NGC as PF70 Ultra Cameo but that’s worth £1,800 in the current market. They were fetching around £2K on FB before the market dipped ahead of last winter. No particular rush to sell it but available at the correct price.
  3. @AdminSupport Are you able to tidy up this old thread from Jan 2023 please? It seems to have been accidentally hijacked today by a member going off topic on a separate agenda about his own coin. I initially thought Lawrence Chard was back again until I realised the dates of the earlier comments.
  4. Nice very detailed photos Dave. A picture paints a thousand words but your video does all the talking (even though it’s silent). Nice to see the coin broken out of the capsule. Well done.
  5. I haven’t got a George V so I’d like to buy your 1911 full sovereign please, providing you accept Bank Transfer. RM Special delivery to be added to your cost. Please PM me thanks.
  6. Just catching up with this thread and I sadly have to agree with the above comments. Think about it, why should the RM pay staff, temps or anyone for Quality Control when the customers do it for free?

    NGC Grading

    I don’t have any Piedfort coins to grade but I would imagine that a nice chunky Piedfort might look undistinguished in a slab. I think I’d appreciate its thickness better in a capsule rather than a slab. It would also irritate me when the NGC label states “Piefort” rather than the original “Piedfort” french translation for heavy foot, or heavy weight when it comes to coins. Nothing to do with pies whatsoever.
  8. So those charts use candles? 3 candles I could understand, maybe even 5. But they’re so open to misinterpretation when there’s 4.
  9. £ 2,425 when released by the RM @James32. That’s a bargain price for the raw coin. Daylight robbery for a PR70. Well done!
  10. Cheers @cliveb13. I’ve been watching the £5 1989 sov for ages on Karl’s website (Mr 1817). The reason being that I want to get a rough idea what my own is worth. My own 1989 long set was submitted for conservation and grading to NCS/NGC through Dave’s service last year and only the full £1 sov failed to achieve PF70 UC. That coin has recently been moved on (in response to Touvex’s wanted PF69 post) but the top grades £5, £2 and half are still with me on hold. A weird market as you say, but hopefully not the new normal for much longer. I agree - we’ll see. Enjoy your big Platinum Jubilee gold coin when it arrives.
  11. Congratulations Clive. A good purchase at a bargain price. My own is in the same FR label slab, albeit at the wrong side of £3K. You did well.
  12. Not too long ago some NGC PF70s £2 versions were being snapped up for £2K. Surely the gold price will push the price of key year editions back up in the not too distant future. I’m holding my own one for the time being.
  13. The only thing I could add to the above comments is that having done lots of “spot the difference” cartoons mostly in my childhood, I couldn’t resist the urge to compare the barcodes between the NGC/PCGS photos and the slab as well. Just don’t sneeze when you’ve almost finished.
  14. Orpster is right. If you can afford precious metals then you can afford the price for peace of mind.
  15. The business operated by Seamus Fahy aka @James32. Have you not noticed that he holds a spare key to all of our boxes, regardless of location?
  16. More servings of food for thought. Have to like these opposing views too. Personally this released isn’t quite my cup of tea. But I had to come down off the fence because all these splinters are hurting my arse. Looking forward to a few of the forthcoming Monarchs series (if they happen). Let’s hope this GE release isn’t fraught with the usual QC issues for those of you buying the raw versions.
  17. The beauty of TSF. Opposing views, well made, had to like them both.
  18. Exactly how that particular bug started on me in 2016. Never bought another car since!
  19. Yes. William Wellesley Pole. One time Master of the Royal Mint and the elder brother of the Duke of Wellington.
  20. Hi Dave. I think you’ve taken my comments out of context. I wasn’t implying that this release is from a “Not So Great Engraver”. I was responding to tpcob303’s post wherein he stated “No more after this release for GE I expect”. I merely suggested a Not So Great Engraver series as a follow up, purely because the RM is flogging the music legends series to death and could do so again with the Great Engravers series. Perhaps you meant to quote tpcob’s own lengthy follow up comments after my own one?
  21. Well the RM is also flogging the music legends series to death, so why not? How about The Not So Great Engravers series? 😊
  22. If anyone can do it then the King of the cheeky opportunistic offer with cash readily available certainly can. You’ve done it before (I think) so you can certainly give it your best shot again. An enviable skill Paul.
  23. Just revisiting this thread and the above comment sums it up perfectly for me.
  24. I’m clearly too content in my own protective bubble. I’ll stick to the cities in the north.
