Thanks so much Lawrence - that really helps. Promise you that it wasn’t a critical question, just me being a newbie and trying to navigate this wonderful (new) world of Gold and Silver. 😊 Thanks again. 🙏

You're welcome.

I am always happy to receive criticism, and did not take yours for negative even for an instant. It was a perfectly good question, and our website should be easy to follow and understand.🙂

Been looking for this one for a while, the elusive 2014 gold Libertad proof 1/4 oz, graded PF70. At only 250 coins, the lowest mintage in the series (tied with 2020).  Now just waiting for the next hunt for the 2021 proofs …

1986 IoM Gold Proof Angel

Many thanks to @jultorsk for this splendid wee Angel. 

Before the Tower Mint took over with their twee transangel design, the Pobjoy Mint in Sutton produced beautiful Manx coins involving good old-fashioned toxic masculinity.

The world was a happier and better place then.

I posted a comment about the bagmarks and scuffs a few days ago, basically saying it might be difficult or impossible to find any slabbable as MS70 or near.

My guess is the RM want you to buy a proof if you want near perfect.

Some years ago, they did use to market a B.U. version of their bullion sovereigns, whcih I think they reserved as their own direct purchase exclusive (anti-competitive). Obviously they charged more for them, but it did give people and extra choice.

Unfortunately, but quite typically, I saw some B.U. ones which were obviously not B.U., but only bullion, and it seems like nobody at the RM knew or understood the difference.

😎

I can assume in the Royal Mint quality control operating procedure manual that they refer to the terms B.U. and non B.U. to mean "buggered up" and "not buggered up".
I know that silver has important anti bacterial and disinfecting properties so I will keep one of my new 2022 Britannia's next to my toilet brush and use it from time to time to freshen up the brush. Should last for years !!

2015 UK Silver Proof Commemorative Sets

Joe Public has been led to believe the 2009 Kew is a real rarity. "Key-date", my arse. The Kew 50p is over 11 times more common than this 50p, whether base metal or silver proof numbers are considered.

The Benjamin Britten silver proof is only the second rarest such commemorative £2 coin.

It might tarnish though!

Niue Leonardo Da Vinci / Icons of Inspiration, second issue. Not the same allmost proof finish like Galileo, but still a great coin and  propably the nicest Liberty ever been on a modern coin.

Do you know how many coins will be in this series? I have the Galileo which I really like, bit not sure about carrying on with them.
