Royal Mint 1/4 oz monkey and sheep

Those look like they are in very good condition, what does the Royal mint think they are doing?

I am thinking most of this era sovs at a bargain price are problems. I will be much more careful before I buy my next one.

 

[sovereignsteve]

can you see the repair?

[sixgun]

i got a few Royal Mint 100g silver bars from Arshimo2012.

@Sovereign what does repaired mean on a graded coin?

[sixgun]

Got a 50 peso from Hatton Garden Metals. A bit dingy on the rim. Pleased to see it was not a 1947 restrike.

I have never found them obliging in that way.

For sure. I ordered my two pieces from GS.be... So i totally agree

3 tubes of QB Dragons, all spoken for in the sales thread, and very nice they are too, very little mint/tube damage.

Bullion dealers often handle them when checking them 

And I guess people who don't know better open them up and put their sticky mits on them

Received my 1/4 oz gold lunar sheep today. Lovely coin, in great condition. Very pleased with my first ever gold coin although confess to being a little underwhelmed by the size at first haha.
Would quite like a nice ringed air tite capsule to keep it in as don't really like the one it came in.

[Agpanda]

@morezoneshould have that, if not I may have some spare

[TangoTango47]

[mention=94]morezone[/mention]should have that, if not I may have some spare

Thanks for the heads-up, I heard a rumour morezone sold them but he is out of stock of this size.

[Agpanda]

What size do you need?
