Today I Received.....

I have a few proofs with marks on, maybe I will try this with a half sovereign I only paid bullion price for and see how it turns out 

 

Do you just dip it in the soapy water then some clean water? or do you leave it in the soapy water for a bit

 

Thanks 

 

I squirt washing up liquid directly onto the coin and then rub it in gently with my thumb.  Then rise it under a running tap while gently rubbing again.  Finally I hold the coin by the edge and blow it with compressed air to remove the water.

A slight improvement on this would be a final rinse in distilled or deionised water before drying. Certainly worth it in hard water areas.

My 1/4oz gold Philharmonic arrived in a discreet package.

Discreet package can sound a bit seedy at times..

2 x 1oz & 2 x 1/2oz  S2 goat proofs from morezone

 

[morezone]

6% over spot + postage from Chards.  I was expecting an opened/used one and was surprised when it came sealed.  I was hoping to put it into a capsule with the rest but now I'm undecided.

 

Decided to crack it open but in order to remove the coin, the inside sleeve had to be damaged.

Mrs Numistacker opened a package for me in Florida... Her photography skills leave a lot to be desired!!

Like the Britannia side but the queen looks old

[motorbikez]

@Cornishfarmer LOL she is old I think the Queen is 90 isn't she.This is the latest image of her.

Received my 6 coin set from Arshi today (thanks Arshi). First one of this type I've seen and my initial thoughts are confirmed: the 1/20th is too small to be a coin and the 1/40th is just plain ridiculous.

Like the Britannia side but the queen looks old

 

I think her first portrait was very nice, if I were her I would of just said never mind updating making me look old, just have me at my best forever.

My 1892 World's Columbian exposition half Dollar arrived.

I love the patina on this piece.

My best value sovereign from BBP with the 20% eBay voucher turned up this morning.  They gave me a 2015 in a capsule for a delivered cost of £164.56.

[HelpingHands]

I wonder what BBP have their automatic acceptance set at for 'make an offer'.
