Today I Received.....

[JamesH]

First pair of double Sovereigns arrived from Chards this afternoon. Think these might become a firm favourite. Lovely looking coins. Thank you @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer (You’ll probably want Dave’s photos for publicity as opposed my poor man’s attempt 😀)

That looks like a fabulous coin..

But perhaps it's down to the fabulous photo!

BTW: We have sold out in the last few hours.*

* At least of the special priced ones. We usually try to retain a small quantity to meet residual demand...

And also for when (if) they double in value!

😎

It looks lovely in the hand, and just as fine under a loupe. 100x mag in Photoshop and it looks like its been run over with a tractor 😂

And, just putting it out there, i'm happy to sell one (or both) for double the value. I'm not precious about anything!

Pictures look just fine. Besides, @LawrenceChardwon't be wanting to pay my London prices for product photography 🤣

Added to the SOTD with the Machin portrait. Had intended to sell the SOTD on, but they do go together very well 🤔 lovely coins.

Not my best photos but was a bit rushed

I'm glad you got them quickly, and like them. We have now sold out (at least at the special offer price).

That's a good enough photo for its purpose.

Yes, Dave's photos are excellent!

If we were based in London or Essex, we just might!

I am happy to agree in principle.

Now we just need to negotiate an acceptable price...

How about chocolate coins in gold coloured foil?

Hmmm? What sort of chocolate?

I prefer 70+, but most chocolate coins are cheapo milk chocolate.

How about chocolate 1841 sovereigns?

Yes they do, I think it's @SemolinaPilchard, correct me if I'm wrong, and they take super awesone pics. Still its nice to get some recognition for your own photography skills which are also excellent 👍

Thank you.

Mine are really done for social media and ebay posts. They're not the traditional, accepted record shots that you see on most websites and auction houses. And i only do a few each day, unlike @SemolinaPilchard who does untold amounts! Full credit on the consistancy and quality of the work

OK then, chocolate covered peanuts it is.

We're all brothers, standing together! 

I don't see any problem with a payrise, maybe even £2.73p/h
