That's a lot of thalers.

I think I exaggerated a little bit this time but I like them

I've got one coin with a Maria Theresa effigy on it - a proof coin released by MO in 2017 entitled fortitudino.

A nice pair, if you're into that sort of thing (I am!)

Looks like a bit of crud sticking to the die.

In 1817, the Royal Mint introduced new minting technology allowing coins to be minted to an unheard of standard of quality and consistency. The sovereign became the benchmark by which other coins were measured against, and the mint became world famous for its quality control.

Today the Royal Mint is . . world famous for its quality control.

When it results in a bona-fide strike-through error, I'm happy  The coins are quite stained though, so I might give them a wash in some acetone to see if that helps.

If it's light toning then baking soda and aluminium foil method might work better, although I wonder what would leave staining like that on a new coin.

My hands smell strongly of tobacco now so it might not just be toning!

I need to stay away from auctions

Just got the results from NGC, MS63 and MS64 - thought they both had a chance at 64, was wishing for 65 but expected disappointment as my predictions are always off. Both issue free and straight graded so I shouldn’t complain but…..

More works of art from @StBeesSilver  heading straight for the treasure chest. The 2oz silver sovs are an absolute joy to hold. Thank you 👍🏼

Gents, stop flaunting your StBees Sovs please

The coins look very very nice, how I miss them?

Love SBS work, been to St Bees it's up by the lakes on the coast. I remember you have to drive through the world's smallest tunnel to get to the beach carpark. Nearly wiped the sides of my car out. Anyway, @StBeesSilver do you have a physical shop I can visit next time I'm up or are you online only?

St Bees had a post a little while ago about them and I’d expressed interest at the time saying I’d take some when ready. Got in touch a few days back to let me know they were good to go. Their stuff seems to go super quick but am sure if you drop them a note they’ll get in touch with availability 👍🏼

Cuppa and a fag while shovelling bullion into hessian sacks at the mint…bound to spill a little PG

[TheShinyStuff]

Not the first of these today, but it's just too good not to post...

@StBeesSilver silver sovereign. What a glorious 2oz lump of loveliness, amazing workmanship. In truth I bought it as a long overdue 'fondlepiece' - but it's just too good for that! So my fondle urge will have to wait!

[StBeesSilver]

Thanking🙏. Glad you like it🙂

Hi...I know that tunnel well😂. 

No I don't have a shop....online only.

[DavePa]

Wow the love you're getting. Nearly as much as for RM gifts at spot price in error 😜

Deserved though
