The set is still available from the Royal Mint, royalmint.com. It’s a bit more expensive at £195 than what the US Mint was charging. Packaging...
Thanks for the info. How did you find out the times? Does the Mint post it or is it just trial and error? Cal
They're not minting more. The "new" medals are due to canceled and botched orders and returns of the original mintage. I've been told, but have...
I agree it's a great, quirky comedy. Really a tour-de-force written and directed by and starring Mackinzie Crook. And yes, they do find coins! Cal
I did find out that the owner, Martin Weiss, is a member of PNG. That's a very good sign. Cal
There is a legal principle that may apply (up to courts, of course) to coins obtained from the Mint without Mint’s permission and without criminal...
They are advertising a coin that interests me, but I've never encountered them before? Has anyone bought from them, and how did it go? They...
Don’t see any need for changing MS grading. We’ve got 60-70 with some plus grades. Toss in PL, DMPL and star, and there’s more than needed....
I've even it seen spelled ... ready for it ... TruVue ... on the NGC forum and elsewhere. :inpain: Cal
Amazing toning. I'd like to see a non-TrueView shot if you have one. Cal
In the past as now, Heritage provided full-slab photos of all coins. But they also provided closeups of medium to high-end coins. Now, I’ve...
My experience trying to get local jewelers to set gems I own has been that not only do they insist on supplying their own metal, they refuse to...
With mint to demand, true collectors (acquire to keep indefinitely) don't lose. The coins they might buy from the mint could go up or down in...
Agree in general. But if the Mint limits accounts, lottery numbers and shipments to one per address or credit card number, how does a dealer get...
Interesting. Mintages were in the millions, so I wonder what kind of machinery was used to expose that many coins (or was it the planchets?) to...
In certain years, the Royal Mint blackened farthings (1/4 pence) so they would not be confused with half sovereigns. See the pic. How did they...
I’ve been in the Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom), which is spectacular, and it was the closest I’ve come to having my pocket picked when traveling...
I almost never look at raw U.S. coins, so the CPG wouldn’t help me there. And I’m not much interested in varieties except for major ones, which...
My eternal optimism. Cal
Likely the Mint will eventually institute a lottery system for limited issues. Folks could sign-in and get a lottery number assigned starting 2...
