Get over to Wongers thread and never return here again 👋
Giving us sensible folk false hopes like that 😒

These stunners arrived today

Where's the platinum to match though? 😂

The below is not a forum rule but simply a recommendation for sellers.

A seller of a coin (or other item) will have a much better idea of the condition and imperfections of the item, than the buyer has. Of course this is only logical as the seller has the item and the buyer hasn't seen it in person.

When I myself sell, I try to list every imperfection on the coin. Sure, this likely will put some people off from purchasing but I believe that it is important to be 100% honest. I also understand how it is from a buyers point of view. As a buyer, I (probably wrongly) assume that most sellers are like me and therefore if I see that there is no comment about the condition, I presume the condition is very good or at least good (in my opinion.) When however, an item arrives and there are issues or imperfections on the coin (or other item) it is saddening, but often not worth complaining over. I would however be cautious of that seller in the future.

In my opinion, telling the condition of a coin from a photograph is hard. Some members are exceptional at studying photos and picking up details, but I personally find looking at a static image quite difficult to ascertain the real condition of a coin. Often a photo will look like there are some imperfections on an item but the actual item looks perfect in real life, and vice versa.

Though the buyer also has a responsibility to ask the condition, as a seller you know more about the condition of the item. To avoid any issues and to keep the forum trade section transparent and honest we strongly recommend for sellers to disclose the condition of their item. i.e. mentioning any imperfections, spots, milk spotting, lint inside the capsule, damage to the capsule etc.

Of course, a seller can not state what grade the coin is (unless it is graded.) Those looking for absolutely perfect examples in their collection may want to consider graded coins. But a seller can state if their are any imperfections.

I already see a large number of members who always list every small detail about their item and I would like to say thank you for doing this 😊

Today I received some small bois, thanks to @matt1r, no thanks to royal mail who took a week to deliver them

Not everyone shows of their age in their profile picture 

Investing in silver is purely speculative, if you bought an ounce of silver in May 1970 (for £0.72) and sold it today for spot price £14.21 you'd have made a grand total of £3 profit factoring in inflation, that's 0.06% return per year, if you got lucky and sold it as it's all time high price of £29.26 you'd have made a profit of £20.12 (0.49% return per year).
 
Don't get me wrong I like silver but it isn't a long term investment for me, it's something to buy when prices are low and other assets are doing well and flipping it when it's doing well
