Loose change Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 I have to ask what is the point?. The most hideous coin design I have seen. You'd have to wonder where they get their designers from. Sorry, but an image of a car, a 'saying' simply don't cut it. Maybe a few baddies - Jaws, Goldfinger and a witchdoctor might have helped. Rant over. Quote

Rant over. Saw 2 listings for the gold one on eBay on Sunday night, they weren’t even available till Monday morning, Londoncoins was one of those, asking £7500 for it, Monday they had changed the listing and dropped the price to £6000, that’s how shit it was and the state of the modern market asking for £2000 profit 1 Quote

Londoncoins are one of the worst for it. I am all for making a few pounds, but trying it on with newly released coins is just abit idiotic. Quote
copper123 Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) I must admit the films only existed to sell the cars to the rich why not choose something like Ernst Stavro Blofeld as a classic baddie we all remember him meeeeowwww Edited March 3, 2020 by copper123 1 Quote

Rant over. Good images of famous characters require a lot of time and skill. Images of a car or a bow tie and tuxedo require much less effort. I am not impressed with most of the modern RM designs. The Brexit 50p was really bad. 1 Quote

I must admit, I did get a couple of BU and a single Silver proof coin, merely from a historical event point of view, but that's about it. I don't know why, but any coin with QEII head really is off putting for me. Maybe I am just weird. Quote

Eventually, you would associate the Queen's later portraits with these less than tasteful items. I rather like the earlier portraits myself. Quote

azda Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 The only coin that has really exploded is the New gold 2oz Una and the Lion great designers release, these have been going for silly money, £27k for a release 2 months previously that cost £4k, I don’t know where people’s heads are at right now with this modern stuff Quote
copper123 Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 I thought it was a bond 10p anyway , that was the first bond coin Quote
