    Hi All,
    I Inherited a small coin collection just over a month ago, and in the process of researching the contents I unwittingly fell down the silver rabbit hole. What began as a passing interest quickly turned into a bit of an obsession.
    I then proceeded down a path I suspect many have trodden before me. Bullion by Post, Atkinson's, eBay and now a hundred or so ounces later, Here. I seriously regret not finding here first.
    Anyhow, looking forward to continuing to grow the stack and reading my way through the old posts. Seems like friendly place.
    Cheers, Dan

    A recent @BackyardBullion you tube shows a new pre-release coloured coin  from @PowerCoin . An Italian outfit for Rome i believe. The coin imho is a good example of where modern mints are using Hi-tech to create some beautiful high-end coins and rounds.

    There is quite a difference, between official colored coins and privately, or by a small company unofficial colored coins. There are collectors for unofficial colored coins, especially in eastern Europe. There are so many variations, cause everybody does, what he wants, but that's not for me. Official colored coins by the Perth Mint, like the colored Lunar bullion coins, are pretty popular in Germany. The coloring by PM looks really good, way better than any unofficial coloring. I had some in hand and mist say superb done by PM. They have an older video, showing their process
    My favorite artistic, modern coins are coming from CIT. I don't like everything, but almost all my favs are coming from them. They also started like 30 years ago with colored coins, or coins with inserts. Story is too long, but if you are interested in modern minting, this is one of the best podcasts, i ever listened to. They are pioneers, almost everything new we saw on coins, was first issued by them. Not everything nice, but for sure trendsetting.
    And, in my opinion, the most decadent coin i ever saw is also made by them. 5 OZ colored, or silverplated, gold Fighter Pilot. This one is not gildet, it's massive gold

    Nortypeter reacted to PowerCoin in Power coin 15% cancellation fee   
    @GoldDiggerDave We have checked that order, it was actually charged 15% fees for cancellation and the amount was 60.00 euro (about £50.00). This amount has been fully refunded yesterday, we didn't even keep the not refundable fees that the credit card company applies (about 5%). I think that the customer will also confirm that on this forum soon.

    @goldhunter please provide your order number (or your real name by mail or private message) so we can check what happened with your order. If the 15% fee was applied, we will offer a compensation for that because, as said, we barely strictly apply this term of sales and always try to find a compromise. In the worst case we charge just 5% cause this is the real cost for the transaction fees we are charged by the credit card payment gateway (even if you cancel your order just one minute after placement, the fees are taken by the credit card company anyway).
    @GoldDiggerDave of course we will make this customer happy and now that we will participate to this forum more often, any member of this beautiful community that has any kind of problem, will have priority with a quick solution.
    Have a nice weekend guys! 😊

    I’m now only buying from PowerCoin if the coin is in stock. My (Royal Mint coin) pre-order took so long I was able to buy multiples of the same coin for less on the secondary market, so it makes no sense now to pre-order after my experience.
    Apart from this pre-order issues, previous service was good and delivery was fast.
    I’d rather pay more for a coin in hand and ready to despatch than worry about a pre-order ever arriving.

    Dear @stefffana,
    I partially agree with you on the Tesla example, cause maybe I started to produce your own car that suddenly you don't want anymore. Another example, none of you has ever cancelled a hotel reservation, a plane ticket, a concert ticket or something? I guess that nobody is expecting the full amount back (in some cases the refund is even zero!).
    I have also to say that, we barely charged 15% to customers, even if stated in the terms of sales. I invite all customers that wrote above to provide the order number and I can check if they have been really charged 15%... cause we get to that point when nothing else works with the customer.
    We always offer a voucher to buy something else, with no expiration, otherwise we charge only 5% to cover not refundable card fees. On the other hand, if the buyer changes his mind (or is tired to wait) who has to cover the expenses created by his decision? Anyway, we compensate these small losses in many other ways, we offer worldwide free shipping for a minimum amount order, we offer loyalty points (discount vouchers) and also personal vouchers in case of unexpected problems, just to make the customer happy. I can guarantee that 5% for a cancelled order is really nothing considering all the benefits that a returning customer can have. Thank you for your thoughts!

    Very happy with the quality and blister packs are solid and well made. Now for a few more of the various 2022 sov range to acquire. I think some 1/4's and doubles might the go next. 😃 Lord help me when the 5 quid one hits the shelves.

    Hello, 
    and thankyou for your reply here, and i am sorry to hear of your loss.
    I still have this full set of coins and inspite of enquiries i have made anywhere, you are the first real lead i have now found. I still have this set of enameled/ colourised coins and if you have any records from your fathers business relating to this set, or if you know who the artist was, perhaps he was the artist who did this, or perhaps you have other leads. it is a truly wonderful set in near perfect condition after so many years,the artwork even close up is first class and if it was hand painted, this must have taken many hours or weeks even to do on so many coins. i was told by previous owner the set was sold to his own father at a specialist coin fair and is perhaps a special edition or 1 off set.on its outer covering it states first edition proof set. I would love to get this set legitamely certified status, as i have no idea of its value. how many sets were produced with enameling etc,i have so little information myself. I am attaching a couple of photos.
    any help here would be appreciated
    best regards
    peter

    I have purchased many times from powercoin.it   high premium coins is their main product, but the customer doesn't get the high premium experience. I have had the  points rewards cancelled. Excessive pre order times and the best yet... after waiting for many months for a coin without any price change on the website.... As soon as it gets delivered, it goes on sale... Needless to say my preference of dealer has changed.
