Silvergun

Received THREE perfect Gothic Crown Portraits (subsequently sold here on the forum for issue price)
AND 
THREE perfect James 1st Silver's, two of which have been sold at issue price to forum members that missed out.
Good deed done for the day and I have nice coins FOR ONCE!!

Received my potrait today and 95% sure it's clean,bit of something/debris under lizzys neck but I can't get the capsule open 🤣 probably going back as I genuinely prefer the quartered arms.
If @Darr3nG or @SovereignBishop wants it at £rrp plus post then let me know soon.
 

Another small one for the collection.

OH MY GOD
3x Perfect Gothic Crown Portraits have arrived. 
I will be putting a sales thread up for MINT ISSUE PRICE within the next 20 minutes. 
That will be first come first served, you have been warned. 
 

Mine arrived too, but I was going to keep the box sealed for a few years🤣 might open later after seeing this.

Very happy with today's new arrival! I don't think these are returns, as mine is looking stunning 😍 should have ordered three! 

 

You both make very valid points and it, sadly, all comes down to RM being a Monopoly and don’t they know it. They’ve got the U.K market by the balls.
I’ve tried to buy into the following:
The Great Engravers (after Una and the Lion)
British Monarchs (Henry VII and James I)
Successfully buying none. It happens, you win some, you loose some, it’s life.
But what RM have massively, hugely failed to realise is that they’ve created a new series with very little chance of being able to collect the whole series.
What they’ve also done is create a secondary market of ‘flippers’ (no offence to anyone who wants to sell for over buying price within reason).
Where do numismatists come into this?
Firstly, we don’t, not that I’m professing to be one.
But four releases a year, no way to sign up to the continuity for the rest of the series like they did with The Tudor Beasts. But do so with this series at your own peril, I abandoned The Tudor Beasts after coin 1 in proof.
In my opinion, four releases a year for four years with no guarantee of the rest of the series is a dead duck in the water before it even began.
Imagine that, four times a year for four years, the stress, the anxiety of a possibility that you might complete your series. If you don’t, you’re paying around double the original RM price.
It could and can be a good series but anyone hoping for a a full set, I admire you. Anyone just buying to flip, rethink why you’re here.
Go and look for the originals of these coins that have HISTORY, we fight over a reincarnation of the original and pay a premium and why.
If you ask yourself that question you’ll realise how rediculous it is. Paying more, in some cases for a reincarnation of the original than the original itself.
But in my opinion, pick your cards and play them wisely and I feel this series will have its ‘up’s’ and it’s ‘down’s’, some coins will really be in high demand others not so.
Now, where are the sovereigns....

Few more pink sovs to the stack. Some from @Sparrowlegs4 and some from offline. 

Not a bad old day...Big thanks to @arshimo2012 @Colnago and @SilverDrum for today's arrivals.

Thanks to @Moxfor the #21 bar and not selling to to @James32 😁 thanks to @Gordyfor the 1/10 brit and thanks to you all for not bidding against me for the proof quarter sovereign 😄

After 20 years, it still maintains very well, but it feels less red than 1989. If you don't look at the queen's side, it is actually not much different from proof. With 1989, the target progress has reached 2/3

Today I received a number of world gold beauties from @Tozer, including this beautiful 1809 Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy 20L piece, minted in Milan (+/- 52,000 pieces). Remarkably nice condition, couldn't be happier to add this piece to my LMU collection.
Also received this 1887 Jubilee Crown. Not the finest example in the world of course, but I assumed she'd get a warm welcome from this crowd 

Cheers

1oz silver James 1st in stock at Royal Mint

2oz gold "plain edge" Gothic portrait in hand now  
No issues at all by the looks of it - nice relief 
Away to safe deposit box now - ive only met you for 30 mins  

Thank you to all contributors on the George 6th crown thread for their advice. My specific personal date run of Crowns is now complete with this 1933 Wreath by way of the Coin King.

Nice little addition yesterday 2020 1/4 oz gold standard, 
love the design on these and never owned one before, does anyone know if there’s going to be a 2022 version? 
 
with thanks to @rlingford

2 nice Gillick sovs today from HGM

Received my 2022 SOTD Sov today from @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer.
Disgraceful condition. Disappointed is an understatement.
 

Going for all crowns in a/unc or better 1818-1937 getting there slowly. 😂 The SA was just a great price for the grade.


 
 

Last week I received this beauty,
a 1915 $5 Indian head to add to my ever growing pre33 collection.
thanks again to @Tozer for this gem.

Another small one
 

A few of these have been shared but wanted to shout out @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer for my 2022 SOTD that arrived today. Great communication throughout and no issues with the coin

Thanks for the heads up . 😀

Honestly, at this point all I want is a good condition coin to go with the quartered arms. 
If all three are good condition I will guarantee right here and now that they will be offered out to forum members for issue price.
Not buying these for flipping, I just want to enjoy the coins for once!
