What started out as a lovely gesture from @HerefordBullyun quickly turned into a horror, this idiot asked his wife to open it and boy did her eyes light up. Divorce is now likely on the cards🤣

@BullionBuyerUK great work but shame on you🤣

I did promise you a bully coaster!

I heard they have developed anti-milking technologies in Canada. Not sure about Aussie ones because I don't own terribly many of their coins. I should like some in the future

The Perth Mint have excellent silver bullion quality and I believe Canada has introduced a technique for anti-milking prevention on their Maples. I think it was after 2014 but someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

Overall, I find the Perth mint silver coins the best but their designs are hit and miss.

The RM Britannia coins are getting worser every year. 2020 was a good batch. 2021 and 2023 (both heads) were horrible quality.

It's not just the bullion Britannia... I have two 1oz silver coronation proof both stored air-free, and still there are lots of milk spots on them. A lot! And the spots look like some chemical spillage

You really wanted 32 though, right?

No🤣.

33 is a fantastic number, Scottish Rites, numerology etc. Best of all it was the personal cypher of Francis Bacon the Elizabethan spy and generally good bloke.

I use the number for loads of things, perhaps I am a reincarnation of my ‘beloved Bacon’ 💛😁

A beautiful addition to my collection. Cast 10oz silver bar from the Pioneer Mint in the USA. It feels damn good in the hand. Love from Maxe.

[Zhorro]

I received my TSF silver round this morning.  I have No.14.  Thank you to @SilverAngel and @ChrisSilver.

That’s why I stopped collecting the TB proof sets. I avoid RM silver bullion and proofs if I can help it. Not worth the disappointment.

I just go with the gold. There are tonnes of silver PF69 but most gold get PF70. It seems different standards apply as well.

It's nice that you've found a significant date.  Plus, Machins are a nice design.

My sovs arrived today from atkinsons, got a few different versions.

my much coveted coaster from @HerefordBullyun made by @BullionBuyerUK

The £2 coin is to censor the image as you can imagine what the mind of bully dreams up!
