These are one of the best designed bars out there from a mint (BYB, do amazing ones too lol)

Surprise, but where I previously got 100g for £90, yesterday was around £105! … yes I know spot went up, but bet they still had it already bought and in stock!

A very nice 1935 Specimen issue King George V Crown along with its Royal Mint card presentation case.  
And also today, a  lovely 1977 Jubilee Crown, thanks @Ales for this one.

Delivery of some items from the Royal Mint -- came in yesterday. I have to say, the new Lion of England bullion gold coin is very nice!! It looks even better in real life. At first I was skeptical, but I've been converted...

The new 100g silver minted bar is also nice, but the premium is quite hefty.

 

Super nice delivery for a Friday!

Those RM bars. I'd love a 10oz and 100oz bar. But as everyone has remarked those bars carry a premium

Could not resist this from @James32

Think RM made a mistake by bringing out the Panther as the 1st in the series as I reckon it would have put a fair few off. I’m gonna be going for the 1/4 bullions and 2oz silver bullions myself

Beautiful. Thanks to @Fadeingstar

Just received this gorgeous 2oz of super shiny from @LiquidMetalsUK, so tactile and stunning. in hand, can't thank you enough

[Chonemenos]

Managed to get this beauty today, probably one of the last one struck.

First glance, an almost perfect coin,

second glance, spot on observe by queenie's forehead,

third glance, bullet holes by the right hand of the lion and tiny bits missing frosting peppered the reverse.

 

Hate RM QC shenanigans, however the Capsule feels suprisingly nice in comparison to the other coins I recieved recently. 

Does anyone have exiperence with NGC conservation, do you guys think they can sort out the spot on the observe?

Input needed, should I keep the coin or trying to get one restruck for me? Many thanks🐿️!

I've discovered the hand poured stuff is my fav silver to get for keeping in the long long term. Leave to the grandkids kinda silver. Feel same way about the stuff I've got so far as I feel about my 'found coin collection" IE coins I've found metal detecting, I've bought and sold better examples of duplicates in collection but couldn't part with those.

That said I do sell duplicates of hand pour but that just means I can get more hand poured!

I would say on the obverse conservation would sort that spot no problem it’s just surface residue but the reverse is a different story. In all honestly I don’t think it’s that bad. I’m pretty fussy and see these as minor issues. I could live with these problems…I’ve seen far worse.

Yea I have seen far worth myself too,one of the first set of coins I got from the mint in the platinum jubilee collection, the 2 coin 50p set I posted here a month ago had their edged bit off by a QC inspector, I assume that was during the standard procedure for them to check the gold content of the coin😉. But I think there is no chance for my Gothic crown to be a 70 with these sort of issues then? Haven't got too much exiperence in determing the grade myself, what do you guys think?

I wouldn’t be so sure, I’ve seen far worse 70s by ngc 😂 If the spot is removed and the other side is either overlooked or put down as a production flaw you may still get a 70.

At the end of the day it’s your call but my opinion I think it’s a decent coin and 70 is not out of the question.

I will most likely keep it, but I will still sent my man the pictures and ask for the possiblity of a restrike😉!

Lovely coin but after purchase you should not have to think about conservation , reverse side look fine to me .

Thanks, it's the royal mint though... So I guess I have learnt to deal with it. You think the tiny crater by the lion's paws there is no big deal right?

[AgD]

Got this nice little one Rupee from 1917 in today, a little ding but that does not take away the beauty of the coin

Yes that is a very small blemish next to the lion 👍 I think under magnification most proof coins will have some marks or faults if they were a result of manufacture they will not effect grading results .

These turned up today, along with a load of airtite capsules. Should keep me going for the next 40 years!

Got these monrachs the other day, was super scared when I saw the weird swirly mark on queenie's cheek on the obersve initally.(ps: don't want to draw on her face, I hope you guys can spot the marks)

However upon comparison to my other JC portaits on my other 2oz sized coins(Gothic silvers) it seems to be present on all of my 1-2oz coins including the gold 2oz monarch. It is just particularly pronounced on the monarchs' coins especially the 1oz silvers. What do you guys think could have caused this weird but super neat effect, is it just how metal flows under the pressure of the die?

So I don't really think it is milk spotting on the silvers given the fact the gold coins has the same mark?

 

Ps: all the coins in the pictures are monarch coins, two silvers and one gold.

Ps: anyone know whats up with the QC stickers' business with RM, they only had it on half of the coins I got and they are all over the place, some on capsules, some in the box, the only consistent thing is all the coins with the QC stickers had QC issues lol.

A 95 years old Queen with a smooth cheek would be looking kind of unreal. No die error, just good job by JC.
