Dearborn, another bad silver Britannia. I posted pic of my milk spotted 2023 Britannia King in it's own topic. I sent it back for exchange, waiting for replacement. Most of the dealers will say these are just bullion and minor imperfections are expected, but some are too damaged to keep.

I got a 1/10 oz gold and 1 oz gold 2023 Britannia King, they are good. It's impressive how well done the tiny lettering and other security features are on the small 1/10 oz. Puts the lame missing reed on ASE, AGE to shame IMO.

Here's my pic of the 1/10 oz.

The Royal Mint have been rather poor in the quality control department since the release of the memorial coinage and the new KCIII coins.

I have already sent back one silver proof coin and got a refund as it was marked. I also sent back the King Charles memorial proof sovereign as it had a scratch on it and now waiting for that to arrive back.

Very disappointed in the quality control, but The Royal Mint have themselves to blame in my opinion by rushing to get the coins into production.

As I see a few of you collect the Brass Threepence surprisingly popular still with 1938-39-46-49-50-51 always in demand in Bunc. I thought I would show you some of mine. I have the complete set inc the proofs from 1937-1970 But nearly all the photos are still on old PC . I hope you like them.

Not in great condition - but a scarce-ish ruler.

Here is a nicely toned, high grade 1886 Victoria silver three pence. The coin had either glue or lacquer on the reverse, but an acetone soak removed that and left this lovely little coin.

This 1901 Half Penny has some of the most colorful toning I've seen on a British copper coin.

Any 1711 QA is a great coin.

Beautiful.

@Paul, the 1886 3d scrubbed up nicely, a great addition.

Not exactly UK but seeing it's a very close relation And I normally only post here I hope you don't mind this addition . Jamaica 1869 Copper-nickel Penny . Absolute stunner. As normal my photos don't even come close to portraying its true brilliance. As struck . Reverse is always poorly struck Should grade MS-65 . In fact its better than the MS-65 I have seen online
