We would love to hear your feedback...

 

I just received an e-mail from the RM:

We would love to hear your feedback...

I wonder if they ever look on TSF?

So, I saw a woman walking a dog outside my house tonight. I was walking my dog at the same time. Her dog barked first and was pretty loud but not too aggressive. I think he just wanted to say hello and be loved. My dog responded by barking back. They both barked at each other a lot. As I walked on, I did wonder if there was any correlation between that encounter and this thread.

Perhaps we all just need more love? And coins. Coins at RRP.

Coins at RRP is so 90's

RRP might be 300% of spot next year for typical releases from the mint. What then?

The RM historical offerings….I would rather buy from eBay which is dodgy and overpriced.

Personally I don’t know where they source their Sovereigns and other coins from but I have a reasonable idea.

You may as well cut out the middle man and buy straight from auction!

Now that the RM have a stake in Sov Rarities I guess that will be easier!

Best

well - lots of people direct something at me, and I tend to respond to them.. = disproportionate number of responses to me.. so 

what is the ratio of

my comment to Larence

my comment to James

my comments to Gordy..

 

that would skew it. As I started it. and everyone clearly felt they wanted to comment back. is that a problem..?

The Original poster of a topic, usually gets a high ratio?

[James32]

I with you on this one Barry!

Starting to think that person Larence is a troll.

Neat attempt at distraction, and swerving the questions.

What have you got to be afraid of by answering my two remaining questions?

Giving something away? Admitting something?

There are almost 17,000 TSF members, so your posting ratio is not that high.

BTW. I know spelling is not your strong point, but mis-spelling peoples' names doesn't usually win friends.

Imagine the drama it would cause if they kept some of the mintage back each year, just to sell on the historic side at a later date for above the rrp 😲

lots of comment  so may have missed them, and I might say the same about you with some of your comments were trying to distract from the subject. In fact I believe I have already said that.

 

your two remaining questions are?

Yes - I discussed this first with my Historic Manager - Terresa - who said it was out of her area.

So I talked to the Mint Marque account Managers Lorna and Gail - Talking to a mint Marque Manager, does not make me a Mint Marque customer - Go ask Lorna, Gail or Terresa. 

 

Then I was in contact with Emma Davey. So i'm not sure what you want to imply quoting my twitter feed.

distraction?  someone queried who I had talked and assumed I had a MM. I explained i had not and who I had talked to.

but you just mock - sure anonymous person on the internet, who may not like this topic because you might be a dealer or benefit very nicely from MM access?

@Gordy You are part of the “hidden hand” that controls the market!  I see now.  Your not a Freemason are you?

[BarryWoods]

If Lawrence would like to repeat his two remaining questions?
