Royal Mint Hard Sell

[dicker]

Hi All

I am not much of a “whinger” but I just received the “August News Letter” from the Royal Mint.

Pretty much all of the links / articles / sales focussed.  Whilst I appreciate that is how they market, it is disappointing that there is nothing interesting and incisive from their museum, collection etc.

Why am I disappointed?  A couple of dealers way smaller than the RM have, via their websites provided me with fascinating articles to read in the last two weeks (Chards and Top end Coins - a very remote dealer in the Northern Territory of Australia).

Sales balanced with history of the mint, perhaps with historic coin deep dives would be much more palatable  

I have cancelled my subscription.

Their news letters were quite interesting a few years back but now its all sales focused. Sadly it sums up the modern royal mint.

I agree my sentiments exactly, they have a considerably rich history that they could include. Spotlights on historical coins etc.
