What's been going on over the last couple of weeks? Okay, it's been a bit quiet over the last ten days or so, and it's just the usual health stuff I can't seem to shake. I had a pre-op assessment yesterday for the kidney stones, so that should get sorted soon, and the intense back [...]
The early July 2026 updates catch-up to all our Bullion Profiles, Coin Series Profiles, and more Like most in Europe, I'm currently being baked alive by some truly horrible temperatures. As I write this, it's about 35°C, and we don't have, or can afford air-con here, so it's really oppressive at the moment. If you've noticed [...]
Early May 2026 catch-up of updates to site guides, profiles and more I've been working on updates over the last few days, in my quest to refresh the older guides to a more common look, which I'm finally happy with. Some of them are shown below, but there are many more. Sorry for the lack [...]
March 2026: Catching up with lots of updates to guides and profiles No news today, as I've been updating guides and coin profiles for a few days, and it's a never-ending job as usual. Our Coin Series Profiles, Bullion Profiles, and Thematic Guides are useless unless they're regularly kept up-to-date with new issues, and the chunk [...]
UPDATE: We're off for a few days due to illness UPDATE: Things have improved somewhat (I did 2 posts a couple of days ago), and I'm hoping to get back to some sense of normality on Monday. Huge apologies for the downtime, but I'll make an extra effort to catch-up where possible, and reply to a lot [...]
We have a special Royal Mint discount code for a selection of coins on their site running until 7th December or while stocks last A little heads up for a good deal at the Royal Mint, for which we have a discount code that runs until December 7th, and covers a large page of deals across [...]
June 2025: We've been busy updating the guides and profiles again Just in case you thought I was sitting on my butt doing nothing yesterday, here's an update on some of the additions to some of the existing guides and profiles we maintain for your reference. As I've said before, it's a bit of a [...]
February 2025: Lots of guide updates in the bullion and numismatic profiles I've been busy updating some of the guides and profiles over the site. It's a monumentally tedious job, but essential, as nobody wants to look at a profile if it's full of gaps. I still have a few new ones in the early [...]
Our best wishes to everyone. We hope your 2024 was a great one, and that 2025 will be better in every way. Happy Holidays! Another year comes to a close, and it remains a difficult time for many. It's time for a break from the grind, so please take this time to enjoy the company of [...]
We’re back at last! Hi everyone, Firstly, huge apologies for the downtime. As I mentioned a few weeks ago, our host decided to 'upgrade' us to their new server platform, and with just a couple of weeks notice, told us that their new platform had a file limit (inodes) of 250,000 files. Well, we're over [...]
