The unveling at the end was actually a perfect set of 2024 Master Engraver Pistrucci 2oz, 5oz and 10oz coins for them to take home🤣

@Charliemouse showed some close ups and even though technology has improved, RM has gone backwards. Enough people have complained publicly and are the laughing stock of the industry. Top or bottom, it must be costing them financially. 
Case in point, the returns on the new GE, It's horrendous.

In an effort to get this thread back on track, and move the 'quality' discussion somewhere else...

The technology is there to make the most amazing bars and coins. Give me a week in there by myself and I could prove my point.

High ESG scores don't come from master craftsmen, They come from blue-haired, diversity hires.

It's why we can't have nice things anymore

The stuff done private mints are coming out with (Germania is just one example) really puts the bloated old guard on their heels.. they just don’t realise it yet.

If I were from t'other side of the pond, I would take exception to Charliemouse's pic' on the grounds that it's biased towards the U.K., as Britannia is bathed in full light while Liberty is in the shade. Needless to say, I think that is as it should be and it's a fine pic'!

I'd argue liberty has a torch to see in the dark however britannia is ill-equipped for such nocturnal activities.

She's holding it in front of her own face, though. Not going to see anything in the dark like that, other than the torch itself.

Those colonials do act in mysterious ways, it must be said.

Nothing overly special but have been waiting for a 1/4oz Plat Jubilee gold proof and finally have one. It’s in a god awful H&B cover but will be going to Dave to send to NGC to add to my PF69 collection from them

Perhaps this version...

(It's not real.  But I'd buy it if it was.)

Won't those flames damage the coin though? Not really familiar with arson coins.

Maybe changed the one to a five if you’re buying it.
