No, just the 2oz. The 5oz was not showing as available when I tried on Monday.

Well if they have access to your account, it’s status and their own systems then they probably have a reasonable idea, one would have thought.

Apparently they are quite behind with the cancellation emails, although the majority of the dispatch emails have been sent out

Just finished a call RM customer support and apparently if you have not as yet received a dispatch notification your order has not been successful, c’est la vie

Good Morning I was wondering about the purchase process for the Three Graces. I have received a confirmation email with an order number and the payment is listed as pending on my account. Does this mean I will actually receive one? It’s just that the purchase process was a bit fraught, to say the least and not having brought anything during one of these release “events” I am a bit unsure. Thank you

One of the new 1 oz Britannias might be nice, a lot to liquidate in one go, although as has been said on the forum before with the margin/spread on fractional coins it might be best to stay with Sovereigns.

Its hard to get ones head round that much shinny goodness, well done.

I read in the Telegraph that one of the ways being considered of raising revenue is by harmonising the rates of CGT and PAYE. On the Silver front I was wondering if they would remove VAT on RM Coins, being notionally coin of the realm, and keeping it on everything else. Well one can dream.

If you are primarily a stacker then keeping to the most liquid easily sold coins are probably the most sensible way Obviously there are the odd coins that has a design that might interest you, but will they command a premium when it comes to sell. One of the Perth Mint dragon bars would probably command a higher premium over spot compared to say a Niue Owl. Although someone who likes Owls may pay more. Regarding the mining of asteroids, yes I can see this happening it is the primary motivation for establishing a colony on Mars, the IANA has already assigned domains for most of the pl

While browsing Fleabay I came across a coin that had apparently been graded. I have heard of LCGS, NGC and PCGS, but not the one given in the listing and was wondering if it was legitimate or if someone was being a bit creative. Not casting aspersions, but being rather ignorant of the finer points of coin collecting I was wondering. I have searched the interweb but have not turned anything up. https://preview.tinyurl.com/yxqb7uq4

The easiest way of determining the metal content is to take it to a good jeweller or bullion/coin dealer. Other methods are a specific gravity test Or post pics here so we can have a gander

Not being an armourer I am unsure if it would work, but perhaps plating the inside of a lead proofed barrel with something such as Nikasil. I do realise that I risk being whipped for suggesting such sacrilegious practices.

Definitely wait for one to come up on the forum, I only ever buy from the forum as I know I can trust the people here, unlike flea bay. I purchased one a couple of months ago for £960 including postage. Only a PF68 but my old eyes would not know the difference between a 68 and a 70 if it bit me on the leg. I did see chards has one for sale at £1995 which is the top end of what you would have to pay. https://www.chards.co.uk/1989-2-pound-double-gold-sovereign-500th-anniversary/6494

Please may I have two with the display capsule. Many Thanks
