Royal Mint - Great Engravers 2021 - Gothic Crown information

[Paul]

some are comments from the "general public" are telling :

"The Royal Mint have been milking dumbos for at least 50 years with their worthless tat....its this simple...coin value by metal and weight..e.g. gold as per Brittania expect to pay slightly above spot price.....unless it's a rare collectible coin...and that does not include the tat they sell made out of cheap metal blanks or even gold/silver at a 100 times its spot value...with pictures of ahem her maj in all her 90 year old splendour"

"the only people making money out of coin collecting, are the people minting them, mosts are worthless and the gold and silver ones are normally just worth their weight on the second hand market, unless they are rare."

"They just like Franklin mint selling tat to any T W A T"

Certainly unusual interest in some of the latest releases.  I have a strong feeling the Quartered Arms and Portrait Crowns may mark a watershed.

My "Diversity Built Britain" (Crystal Maze) Gold 50p was voted favourite coin of the year (apparently!)  so by default automatically must be worth more than Una & The Big Cat gold jobby, ive got propping up my wobbly bookcase

Rather strange thing to say. If people who purchased first from mint haven’t got the second then they need to say something, anyone who bought the first from other places  really should know better . Try going back to whoever they bought it of for the second. Still, keeps people busy until tomorrow and the next round of speculation 

no.. it is not about that

@Paul your a man after my own heart, it’s a sport for me mate. I love poking them.  All you have to do is mention Brexit, cyclist, or immigration and they are off on one.  
 

we could start a new post, where we cut and past comments from the mental cases on the Daily Mail.

Dave Gorman used to do a ‘found poetry’ piece where he would take comments from the comments section of the Daily Mail and turn them into incredibly funny pieces.

There was one about the French factory winning the contract to produce Union Flags for the 2012 Olympics. I’ll try and dig it out.

"Give me proper BRITISH grub like Chicken Vindaloo, Pizza, Pasta, French Fries and Brussel Sprouts ANY day, cooked by a BRITISH chef and served by a BRITISH waiter. That's why I voted for Brexit."

My personal favourite, to repost again on DM, always gets good reactions and replies 🤪
