Many thanks @Chrispringle85 and @trp for always making this exciting.

I’ve done similar and made no secret of it on here. My kids had a unfinished date run, their grandfather was responsible for starting this interest, I’ve just finished it off. Both mine will get 21st birthday gifts. I’m also constantly trying to find other ideas to capture their imagination. I’m sort of doing a bit of inheritance planning and having fun myself as a casual hobby. Hopefully they will get emergency nest eggs. Ideally, they will squirrel it for asset diversification but if they choose to pay off a mortgage or some sort of fun so be it.

Exactly this. I’m almost certain a postie told me whilst they don’t have to obtain signatures with Covid guidance etc, the technology they use, means the postie must have been at your address and scanned the item.

This was a steal of a deal, wish I’d logged in yesterday morning and noticed, when I clicked the link last night I think it said 17 sold in the last 24 hours; should think a fair number were TSF members, well done to all.

Hi, Just from keeping my eyes peeled on eBay believe it or not. Not one for buying coins off there but for accessories it is easier than scouring dealer sites.

Not the best picture but a 1oz Silver Czech lion 2020 and half ounce 2011 Koala in great condition.

Got another 1/2 Brit, so now I have a set in a box for both my kids 🙂

Paid my first visit to @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer whilst passing, to keep my kids Kookaburra date runs going with 2 x 2022’s added; plus one very helpful lady gave me some advice on proof sovereigns,

Well done, that’s a stunning display to be admired, the best I’ve seen and liked anyway.

Quite like these for my kids au 1/10’s collections, where can they be bought?

I’ll happily tell you what I did, I don’t buy bars, so I just went with the Sigma Pro. For coins it was more than sufficient for me and definitely works on all my coins and sovereigns, found 2 1oz Silver fakes, which were so obvious afterwards 🙄 kept them them to remind me. The rest I tested, pictured and sent off to storage, safe in that knowledge. The 1kg bars I had would show up under the wands, I’m not 100% sure those wands do penetrate all the way through though? Others may know better.

Man after my own heart. My accountants are the one bill I’m happy to pay every year! For sure they charge me a fair old fee, legally though they likewise create a small fortune in savings that same period. Whether it be general tax breaks, pension contributions etc for the simplicity of handing over my yearly transactions, I get a full breakdown for tax submission a few weeks later, without any stress or head scratching. A good accountant is worth paying for.

Small time boring stuff adding a 1/10 2021 just need an 1/2 oz Brit now for a set apiece for my kids. Grabbed an extra sovereign from @BleyerBullionat the same time.

On the basis that you were the very first person I traded with, I’d have to say 👍😂

If you check eBay there’s a 2007 popped up from a past seller with a fair bit of feedback, usual risks I suppose but going for £346 plus R.M.S.D (which is encouraging). If I needed it I’d gamble and stick under my Sigma Pro, recording me opening up and testing. Appreciate not everyone can do this.
