A girl I know works in a jewellers £390 when she applies her 20% staff discount I got £78 off.

Shes got me around 9 or 10 so far over the past 18 months.

That jeweller has a real shrewd business sense🤣.

@SheepStackerI wonder how much more that coin will be worth now that it’s graded compared to an original in the box one . Very nice indeed .

Graded bullion sovs often don't attract a large premium, although proofs more often do.  These ones are a limited edition, so they will probably do better than ordinary bullion sovs.

Depends on the coin really, and the grade you get. I think having an MS/PF70 coin adds around 10-15% to the resale value. But it's very subjective, I've picked up slabbed coins for the same price as just normal coins.

I hate it when they don't properly centre the coin in the slab.

More likely it has rotated since slabbing.  The plastic arms do not firmly 'grip' the coin, it is just sitting in a slot.  Natural movement will cause it to rotate.

I have seen several documented examples, when a slab has been photographed at different times and the coin has changed orientation.

Ah is that right. I'm going to dig out my slabs and make sure they're all still centred now!

If they aren't, just open up the slab and straighten them.  😉

Now I've said that, the official NGC photo (below) is also wonky, so it could have moved before the photo was taken or it could have just been slabbed lazily.

I’m interested at what price these will appear on the sales threads soon and where the market will sit.

Hello dear silver friends, today these two specimens of Kitsune arrived from Coins Today. I find these stackers very interesting and will stay tuned to these issues from the Mint.   To be honest, the photos are not mine this time because I don't have my camera at hand, but believe me, mine are as beautiful. The photos are from the German Silberforum. Maxe wishes everyone a peaceful weekend.

Yes they really are, they are made of 2oz silver in antique finish. These editions are stackable and pure works of art. The capsules are also super matching.
Kitsune here in wikipedia. All the best from Maxe.

Finally picked up my 2 half sovereigns - 2023 and 2022 memorial.

Would have gone for the full sovs but just not keen on the new style sov colour and need to watch the funds

nice coins, very shinny. In this photo the copperish color is not so apparent

Hello dear silver friends, there has been a lot of gossip about this coin, for example the one sitting on the loo with a broken wrist. But I like the Hades from the series Gods of Olympus. And in the 5oz version it is the absolute eye-catcher. The edition is only 450 copies. Have a nice day and greetings from Maxe.

It's lovely.
