Jaffa cakes are still cakes .... They go hard when they go stale. Biscuits go soft so there's the difference 🤓🤣🤣

I've been looking a VAT rules if they produced a silver or platinum coin with braille only  with no writing on it then it could constitute for the sole use of someone with a disability therefor would be VAT free.   I'm a genius!!!!!!!!!!

@BackyardBullion...........I want commission on this mate if just made you are fortune!!!!!!!!!!!!!  You need to start making silver braille doorstops.

Once the lucky ones receive their coins, its then that mad and nail biting time, a 3 month wait for are coins to come back from grading 69 or 70.

[GoldDiggerDave]

The Numismatist is the only bloke who gets upset at being told he's getting a 69

69 or 70 🤣🤣🤣 its the royal mint I'd be lucky to get a 65 or 66

[James32]

Don't know where this chat is heading but if anyone is into a real kinky life ,I have a threesome sovereign set with the issue no (69) has to be worth £10000 at least😁

I was wrong. Apologies. If you are spending enough to be in the platinum plus or bought one of the Una or 3G 2oz golds then you may have been offered a 2oz plain edge coin. 

This is a coin that is not being offered on the website to the ‘general public’. That is a business decision taken by the Royal Mint and it is what it is.

I have not been offered the 2oz plain edge gold. I asked about this on Thursday when I spoke with my account manager and the above is the response I was given.

thanks Andrew but no apology needed 

I myself must apologise though for automatically assuming someone as prestigious as yourself was already in the platinum plus when i commented  😅

Brexit? Always controversial. I didn't see that thread, but I can guess what it's like!

I'm sure some people come here looking for serious information...

Back on subject, are they going to do a bullion Gothic Crown? 👀

They haven’t done bullions of the other releases so I would be putting my money on the ‘no’ answer.

Best forgotten about. 

I’m with @SilverDrum let’s stick to the topic.

Really excited that we are so close to the release! Looking forward to Monday morning and all that it brings!!

[GoldDiggerDave]

@SilverDrum There might eventually be a Gothic bullion bar product, the Una and the Lion bars were nice. The Alderney Island Gothic set is a great collectors piece without being a mental price.

Excellent and well made point re the 1oz and 10oz silver bars!!

[James32]

The una and the lion sort of suits the bar shape, only guessing but cant see the crown having the same appeal.
