2015 50c UNC Gold Plated Anniversary Coin

Goldseeker · February 25, 2015, 05:45:11 PM

I have ordered mine from Downies and also sent the RAM an Email about the poor publicity given to this coin.

And they say, that is the RAM, do not influence the secondary market with the coins they produce. What rubbish.

I might actually get this one. Only $8 so what can go wrong? I will be visiting London in July and see THE actual Magna Carta in person. :yahoo:

I saw Magna Carta at Salisbury Cathedral in 1981.

Lucky you. I am off to see the special exhibition in British Library.

They held a ballot for 1215 people to see all four surviving copies together in an exclusive session in Feb. What's it with government institutions and ballots?

Quote from: 'interest' pid='67569' dateline='1424757025'Downies are now selling the overprinted kind at $40.00 each.
Double the RRP.

The coin itself is nice but already overpriced at $20
Premium $20 for an overprint too expensive for me did Downies line up at the Open Day or just secure them I wonder? :angel::dodgy:

They mention in their advertising that the Downies attended the event:

Ballots are all about raising revenue at inflated prices
