I also initially think the same like the wording "束" before, however it is a bit different after close look.

I also use £80-100 as benchmark to bid through easylive. if i guess my winning lots exceed that sum, i will pay for the £3. Back to Coinery case, i remember there is no flat £3 option, and bidding through coinery website is less expensive than easylive portal. However, i am not sure about this now, coz i changed to bid through Coinery website since 2nd auction held by them because of the auction premium issue.

Interesting one, nice one found.

Nice, so that you saved few percentage off👍.

You bid through easylive, so that there's internet surcharge?

It is a very nice gothic florin, rare to see with such prooflike field.

So quick to receive it, very nice 👍

Me too, this is the only coronation coin acquired so far due to the same reason. I'm considering to add a bullion 2023 sovereign to mark the coronation year collection.

I think about the same when i first use it years ago. The one I'm using is in form a small box filling with silica gel, and it is said can be stored with food together, that's why I give it a go. However, I'm not 100% sure it is problem free or not, so would much appreciate as well if someone can advise if it is safe to keep with coins.

I also won't consider to slab my coins, unless it's going to put up for auction. I will keep it in capsule to try to protect it from scratch etc, and then in an air tight box with desiccant, coz humidity is too high in hong kong.

i bookmarked it in my cell phone, tablet, PC for reference as well. Superb works.

Thank you David for the stat analysis. I didn't think about the reason behind, but i agree that it is not uncommon in various auctions. I didn't own any onc example so far and was offered by a local dealer before (forget which year it's), but did not buy due to price. Let me visit again later if it is still there.

Thanks for sharing the info

If it's a friend's request n have spare time, most people are willing to offer assistance. However, if it is for commercial purpose, no way for free of charge...business is business.

Glad to hear that, wish everything is smooth n alright, and replacement is fine👍.

Yes, that's very good, n agree with u, the pricing is a concern.

Sorry for that, but this kind of quality is seems the new normal of this big n rich organisation. There are always loads of complaints in other forums re RM products, which maybe down to too many products launched. Comparing with Perth Mint, for example, quality is miles away. I'd opt a replacement, as i really like the oz reverse design. You may contact RM first to lodge a formal complaint n trying to seek for a guarantee of much better quality replacement before sending back. Wish you good luck and have favourable feedback.

Thanks ozjohn for sharing the article. I tried to understand more about the congress since having the medal on hand, but found resources are very limited before. I am attracted by the medal especially due to the message deliver n in current chaos world.

Yes, think so, this is what it's described when i bought it. However, i remember there is no hallmark on it but not sure if my memory is right or not.

You all are much much better than me. Cataloging and taking pictures are a very time consuming. What make it worse is my PC broke down months ago, which made me lost pictures as I forget to do a routine backup😭

The one at the Coinery just hammered at £2300😓

I also see 2 56 in auctions in past few months, i only remember the one at Warwick seems grade EF. Is it implied the 56 is not as rare as we think before?

Finally have time to take pictures of the 1853 Penny Intermediate colon received before. Pity that there's edge bruise at obverse, however it's still a lovely penny to appreciate.

I noticed that lot at Noonas as well. For the broken r, i also have a gothic florin with broken m in date, i think it may be happened sometimes in some VF/F example. For the weakened i in date, i don't have any idea, coz the 2nd last i is not weak, however the shoulder is worn coincidentally. For the price, I think £446 for this 1862 Gothic is a bit higher, maybe around £300 is more reasonable if this is not a counterfeit one. However a decent example for 1862 is not showing up often.
