Ha thanks @LawrenceChard Actually in my family network, most people treat these as gold gifts (ie what weight "guinea" are we gifting) and dont even think of these becuase of the sovereign design. There are so many of these lurking away. even the restrike for the veinte pesos?

Something in this i guess. I completed my PhD while working full time with a small biotech company in Cambridge - tough 4.5 years!

I'd like to stick up for some with PhDs that may have some intelligence but also common sense!

What you needed @LawrenceChardis someone who does microscopy of cells and analysis of those images for a day job. Plenty of life science students around could build a simple workflow to take the image and count the ridges using software like ImageJ or Fiji.

I like the G & D design on the £5 coin for Prince George's 5th birthday @LawrenceChard

isnt the plan 4 or 5 releases every year until 2025?

still a way to go, next stop nanodrive and then onto holographic memory...

Some 1oz Silver coins that took my fancy from @Panda6Pack

From your photo the one of left looks like a well circulated coin. The one on right (shiny) could simply be a newly circulated coin from a sealed bag from bank and stored away or from a bunc set and found its way into circulation.

Maybe from an BUNC set rather than proof?

Its hard to tell, sometimes in other proclamations they use the wording "STANDARD" which does correspond to bullion/bunc quality.
