I haven't got the proof to hand but on first looks , what's the difference and where did my extra premium go??

The Proof has a mirror finish with more detail in the design.

Now having looked at the proof again, the proof does look better 😄

There is zero chance that's the bullion 😆 possibly a BU variant?

Still think they should stick the tudor panther on the bullion version 😁

The boxes are made in China, they got them suck in the Suez when that shipped started a log jam a few months back 😀

Should really throw a curve ball and leave the reverse blank,then for £50 a letter we can get our names engraved in Latin.

That's what I thought. Where did anyone say the photo was of the bullion version?

I feel so prepared, already having one of these  Apparently they are the same model as the ones used by US Immigration.

Picture might be deceiving but it looks better in Bullion than Proof 😲

Most likely be better QC and less marks etc hehe

😅😅😅 

10 would be ideal though,  as with a bit of wire coat hanger I could make 5 pairs of binoculars

I also have this adjustable one, which I find useful if you want to change the focal point (e.g. for oggling raised coins in capsules without having to float the loupe in mid air)
