A bit of fun.  

For the next large TSF prize draw to advertise and bring awareness of the forum, which will be in around a month or two. Should we double the prize and have 2x 5oz silver bars up for grabs, 2 different winners each winning a 5oz silver bar. If you think we should then like this post. 

If this post gets 100+ likes we will give away 2x 5oz silver bars. (I have set this target deliberately low so that it is easily obtainable)

If this post reaches 200+ likes, we will add a small bonus  

One on eBay sold on the 28th March 12.5k

Theres going to be soooo many graded, as most wont even be on the census yet. Easily 500+ in a month or two

Best of luck, be interesting to hear what these sell for with so few around 

I posted all my letters back (1 a week minimum) as they kept sending them despite asking them to stop, it was driving me crazy. In hindsight I wish I hadn't bothered. They even cancelled a second order and called saying I need to invest in proofs and kept sending me even more stuff. Never again

Ngc have updated their site to 45 days plus 45 for ncs, even for walkthrough. It shows just how many coins are being graded now and more new people self submitting

NGC census update is tomorrow around midday it should be refreshed so might see some new graces appear on there.

Which will likely mean a lower price on these, the higher the percentage of 70s the lower the value 

The new edition is available or pre order now with free delivery if ordered before 10th April.

If there’s no damage it’s not worth risking sending back. Add a pic? 

I use to be the same until I realised after various tests grading that a lot of coins I was sending back would infact grade very well. I’m seeing a lot of coins people are returning with such minor issues that would most likely be fine with ncs. With scratches and perm damage I would do the same and return as you have nothing to loose but otherwise you risk a worst coin or refund.
If every RM proof coin got a 70 grade would people be happy if the 70 prices realised dramatically reduced? They certainly wouldn’t be close to UNA prices 

 
 

As has been said before, the more folk (possibly not even collectors) bang on on aboutimperfect coins, possibly with a bit of fluff, the RM will eventually cotton on, in spite of their mismanagement and will start to sell only graded coins at a massive premium. I know it’s not only the forum who is the market but make your mind up guys.
The same could be said as with Hatton garden metals in the past. We had it good for a few years, then certain folks moved in, demanding proof quality at bullion prices, computer alerts the microsecond a shield sov appeared and in the end, we have lost out in the long run.
Take the long term view folks, not the quick flip. Just my opinion

I'm very surprised they would even mention grades as no one knows what a coin will grade its only a prediction and then theres the transit of the coin. If they remint expect to wait a while for another, I have given up waiting for remints on other coins and have also had worst ones returned.

I think the more people that start saying they want their coins to hit certain grades to RM the more chance they will look to move into selling graded at much higher prices. I have noticed a lot of people seem to be so much worried about really tiny imperfections these days and a lot that I've seen on groups are mostly dust. I'm fussy but a lot I see I would send to grading that people are considering returning.

I'm predicting we see a higher % of 70s this time around compared to the Unas as they have been taking on board feedback and the recent 5oz Eltons show how they have improved since the Queens as one example

The 10oz are all reserved so i would assume that is the same for the 1kg

The way things are going it sounds like there could be a demand for a new PM auction site... 🤔

From my experience I would keep it even if one of them marks was damage. I’ve had other 2oz golds that were a lot worst and after returning I got a worst one and ultimately a refund. I have spent ages on the phone and emails and had the money out of my account for 4 months. Unless damage is so bad it’s worth less than you spent the. I would keep it. 
 
well done on getting a gold!

Thats what has pushed the prices up, the fact its the same series as Una which has a price history to go by and also a stunning design. Plus this time round dealers couldn't buy in bulk so are also competing with private buyers to buy on the secondary market. Over a year on and Una prices have not fallen plus the 3rd in the series will drive more collectors
