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 [...]
Site updates. Changes to the Homepage, the usual tweaks, and Easter Hi All, As you may have noticed, we've made a small tweak to the Homepage, reducing and moving the rarely utilised 'News Nuggets' (which show on the main NEWS page now anyway), to just above the Instagram feed.

UPDATED: A new site update, with a few days off Hi All, We're going to be off for a few days, as, after a longer than expected wait, I have my second eye operation today. Hopefully, that will see things improve for me (it's all a bit depressing, to be honest), and I can finally get on [...]
Just a quick update on the site at the moment As some of you are aware, we attended the World Money Fair in Berlin late last week, and honestly, after three years of not attending (two down to Covid) it was terrific to meet folks again. We saw some quite spectacular issues, many not issuing until later [...]
The 12 Guides of better late than never: #8 - Black Flag by The Perth Mint Yes, I know I utterly failed in my over-ambitious attempt to do a '12 Guides of Christmas', but we did get seven of them out, and they are continuing. The eighth of them is now live, and features [...]
Our best wishes to all our friends. We hope your 2023 was a great one, and your 2024 will be better. Happy Holidays! Another year has passed, and hopefully, it was a better one for you than the two that came before, It's a markedly different world to the one of just five years ago, and we're [...]
The 12 Guides of Christmas: Number 7 - Tudor Beasts by The Royal Mint We're getting there! Here is the seventh of our 12 Guides of Christmas, which we'll probably rename 12 Guides of Approximately Christmas, as I've yet again underestimated the work involved. You must all be used to it by [...]
The 12 Guides of Christmas: Number 6 - Fine Art Bi-Metal Max by Precious Metal Collectors Finally hitting the halfway mark with profile number six in our '12 Guides of Christmas', this time we're looking at the Singaporean producer, Precious Metal Collectors, and their extraordinary range of copper-cored coins depicting the works of the [...]
