I'd love to say I'd give £700 but I could be on strike next year by the way things are looking. Gotta hold onto the pennies now !

@GoldDiggerDave The royal mint would never have heard from me again.

So for anyone interested the box is £1k 😂

You sell it as a Mint error

£555 rrp bud I was messing

So my dads got another Gothic on the way tomorrow, got an email and text!!

He ordered the single and then the continuity set because, like me, he panicked and saw the continuity option late and ordered that as well.

Anyone else had this?

Dad has been charged for one coin only though (already received last week). No further payments taken 🤷‍♂️ 
 

Mines in its way tomorrow and not been charged yet, unless it’s in my credit account and I can’t see that when I login via my mobile 🤷‍♂️ 

Confusion is not the work 😆

Interestingly I have actually not been charged for this coin yet....

I would imagine money will come out soon, but I'm not complaining!

Yep, still not been charged for the 5 oz silver

Mind you, I have been charged £2000+ for the 4 coin sovereign set and that hasn't come yet....

Maybe the mint is trying to make good on their accounting failures....

Sometimes I order things and get billed immediately, sometimes it is days after arrival. I think the one thing you can be sure about is being billed!!

being lazy but what’s with some gothic crowns having a pf grading under 60

with my limited knowledge I thought 60 was the lowest you could get in pf grade

It's still a proof coin = PF just a lowish grade.

@AndrewSL76 Both say 999.9 fine gold.  I'm convinced they have dipped the blanks in an acid treatment like they did to achieve the finish on the 1902 matt proof sovereigns.  I'm going asking the mint for some information.  I'll let you know how I get on.  It looks like no other  modern RM gold proof I've seen.  

I have to agree, there’s definitely something going on with the frosted areas. Shades of green and orange depending on how the light catches the coin!
Here’s my 5oz example….

I have a degree in chemical colour transplantation automatic biographical regeneration  ( a mouthful I know) but if  you send your coin to me for a few weeks i will be able to run various tests and provide results for the forum to look over.

Ps, your coin may come back silver and weigh slightly less than 5ozs ( no less than 2 oz guaranteed) but dont be alarmed that's normal and all part of testing process 😁

Maybe try your luck with @GoldDiggerDave

I might get a panic attack if it’s not under my pillow at night!

I can up your offer and make the returned item at least 5 oz of silver.

Hell, I would magically separate it into two pieces in fact, 2 and 5

There is a small morbid part of me that wants to take a blowtorch to the smaller one as punishment for not being as pretty as the bigger one....

I think I have a problem...

Pretty sure my offer "Whilst optimistic" is slightly safer

Yeah, then the mint will have to change the certificates knowing -1 in existence 😉 It will help with our rarity too!

Yes, the 5 oz is my precious.

The 2 oz can jog on...

When compared to the 5 oz...
