RM vs alderney gothic crown pictures

[NewCoins]

If all coins minted were guaranteed to be a 70, would that take the shine off having a 70?

Just got my Silver AI set back today, I'll stick up some pictures with them along side the RM gold gothic's a bit later on.  😀

The Commonwealth Mint has done a way better job than the EIC. Only the Elizabeth portrait is absolute fantastic move, great concept. Even better thinked than by the RM.

Have you got a link for the site for the ST Helena coins?  Usually EIC nothing on there.

They sit there at least since August and was never available. I think the release Was suspected earlier, but is delayed. I have seen somewhere that the release date is now 21.01., but don't remember where, sorry. goldsilver.be doesn't ship anymore due to restrictions to the UK, but they should pop up at UK dealers soon.

For me not at all. They still limited, possible way lower than the official mintage and i have no stress with returns, refunds, etc... It's silver, so milkspots can still appear, but they are perfectly strucked. 

It's not that big gamble. You know, what you get and this reduces my bloodpressure a lot.

But i'm not a big Fan of the EIC coins. Have no Alderney Graces to compare, but the EIC Graces looks a bit strange. It's a smaller size than the RM, but still they look somehow mad or angry. And the most sad thing on all EIC coins is the horrible Elizabeth portrait.

Not at all. In reality it wouldsend other raw  older coins through the roof pricewise. Get thee some

Maybe the Belgian knows something that we sonst know. But more than 600€ for the 2 OZ and more than 2500€ for the 5 OZ Gothic Arms by the EIC looks way overpriced to me.

APMEX is preselling the Alderney Arms PCGS PR70 as single coins. Other US based dealers had some NGC graded single coins

I been looking online but I couldn't find them, I would like to see a picture of this coins next to each other, I was wondering if someone here has both and can take the shoot

Finally i got the RM Gothic Arms. Now i'm in trouble, since i got the Alderney only in matte proof , but UK and St. Helena in proof. I guess i have to go for the Alderney proofs now. St. Helena Portrait will be issued in summer, so i'll do a comparision of the portraits then.

Now i got the EIC portrait too. I must say I like it, a bit bigger diameter, than the original, but somehow "softer" striking. Black mark on RM portrait was something on the capsule, coin is problem free😅
