Hi @AndrewSL76,

Hope you are well. So I purchased what i thought was air duster: 

It says this is a Sprayduster, Gas duster and its Flammable,

Is this something you would use on the coin to remove dust and particles?

 

Thanks

Not really get one of these

not really the sprayduster? Is it because its got other chemicals in it which could ruin the coin over time?

I will give that dust blower some consideration, but looking at that couldn't you use a football pump? Same sort of thing it looks like?

You could but its more refined.... small nosel which is great for blowing away any contaminants...

@SlamDO NOT USE THAT SPRAY!!!!

Advice from @Rll1288 is correct. Anything with potential for moisture should be avoided. You just want a short sharp clean burst of air to clear the dust or anything else loose on the coin.

Thank you both 👍

A hair dryer could be a good idea

You could just buy a £400 Dyson hairdryer for the real love of your life, your shiny deserves the best!!

These should remove debris. Free shipping too

What if you just got a cheapo one solely for the coins

That'll do the trick.... Might have to waive goodbye to the coin as you fire it off into the distance though.

To be clear.....we are still talking about hairdryers?

Well I never would've thought I'd be having a conversation about hairdryers to be honest with you but yes... Yes we are!

Does anyone know when the second release will be, I’ve heard February or March?

Also, do we know which Tudor Beast is next in the series?

The Spider in the severed neck of Boleyn. Don’t know about release date.

Damn. I was hoping the second in the series would be the fictitious sixth finger of Anne Boleyn.

Probably her middle finger to Henry VIII.

Love it. And so much better than my speculation. She certainly had extra digits from all accounts. Poor old Henry didn’t have Tinder and instead had to rely on inaccurate portraits from dodgy French artists where the women where either depicted with nicer looks or had their socks/gloves on.

I've been onto the RM website looking at the 1/4 oz gold proof Panther I don't know how many times, but so far have managed to resist! lol. Does anyone know when the bullion coins will be released?

No idea but I have the proof and would recommend it. Joking above aside, it’s going to be another decent series where you can invest and enjoy at the same time.

The problem is I don't know if I can afford to commit to 2 gold coins a year for the next 5 years when I'm already into the silvers plus the investment sovs I'll want to buy and whatever else come out etc etc.

Fair enough. You have to go with your instinct. I don’t buy the modern sovereigns anymore so don’t have that ongoing expense. Frees me up for these type of releases.

I'm actually just watching @BackyardBullionnew video on YouTube about investing/stacking. Maybe it'll give me some inspiration!! Lol 😁

He is inspirational and does give great guidance but bear in mind it is guidance and NOT financial advice. Always do your own research and always do what is right for you!!

Oh yes 100%, I know this. It was a bit tongue in cheek. 👍
