I didn't say or write this quote above youve pasted  "And the PF 70 was mine. Purchased right here on the forum from @richatthecroft.  Kerbloomingching"

My apologies. I don’t know how that happens. I’m not entirely sure how to reattribute those words to the owner. I’ll give it a shot.

My tiny collection

 

Yeah... but do you look at them from time to time and totally love it??  It’s the pleasure they bring that matters. 
 Beautiful coins. Thanks.

This is what $690.80 in silver dimes looks like.

Looks bloody fantastic. Thanks for posting!  Great stack.

Visited the vault today

There’s some VERY nice bits of metal there!  The Geiger is just a beast!  I’d be tempted just to keep that as a door stop... just for the hell of it 😉

That seems rather unfair!  Looking at his picture I am sure he would have made a very fine, valued and loved BBC children's TV presenter in the 70s or 80s

Looking at that picture, he might have gone the same way as most of the BBC Children's presenters from the 70's and 80's., "D'you know what it is yet, sport!" 🤢

@MikeG1978 congratulations 🥳 on a great end to a strange year!! 

Amazing news @Martysmith A superb way to end a crappy year!  Congratulations 🥳

Gilded Silver Kangaroos 2004-2006

 

The RAM issued official "selectively gold plated" silver 1oz roos for just seven years, from 2003 to 2009. Although I am not a big fan of gilded silver coins, I felt that these seven just about merit a place in a complete collection...although I do draw the line at the felt-tip pen coloured cereal packet tokens.

 

The actual mintages of all three were quite similar to their proof counterparts,  - this translating into what I consider to be somewhat unjustified high prices outside Australia.

 

In summary, quite an attractive set but only worthy of purchase by avid agroophiles until prices fall.

Thanks for posting. I’m trying to get a sense of scale; are they about the size of a 5p piece?  If so they’ve crafted a very clean, tidy coin with very high production value. 
 

How do they manage to guild so precisely that the boundaries between silver and gold are laser smooth... and produce them in quantity? Very nice. 👍🏽

Olloclip’ Macro lens attachment

Top tip.  Thanks.  I want to get better shots of my coins.  This might just be my Christmas present to myself... because the kids will probably get me socks or a tie again this year!!😕

Pics don't do justice to all the original mint lustre still present.

Lovely coin and a beautiful quality picture! I can never seem to photo my coins to look as sharp and clear as that;  Did you use a phone camera?    Thanks for posting.

What a beautiful work of art!!

Sorry if this is in the wrong place or if its a stupid question.

But does anyone know best place to get best deals on ancient silver coins from the Roman period.

Any links would be greatly appreciated.

Try Silbury Coins Click here.  I’ve just bought a silver Denarius for a birthday present. Very good service. Worth asking about “Certificates of Authenticity” though.

I'm a stone mason and can tell you from carving small detailed work its with great difficultly 

So... does the artist stare down a microscope and tap tiny little chisels with a mallet (mason/sculptor style) to create an inverted version of their image??

Really beautiful photos!  The super macro shots really show off the detailed craftsmanship.  I can't imagine how they sculpt the dies for these coins.  Amazing... Thanks for posting.

@Saskfan88 congratulations!

Perhaps it's a silver forum special offer 🤞

Count me in!

DJust came across this article while I was having a mooch about various PM dealers: LINK. Just check out the sheer volume of gold the Russian state is hoovering up as they and many others dump their U.S. holdings..... and China’s not only stockpiling, they’re actually buying the gold mines too,! China link!

That would go some way to explaining why supply’s been short and massively outstripped by demand.  If anyone can find a counter argument that would be interesting because these links are a bit gold-biased... but it really looks like gold’s set to rise.

My murky crystal ball is saying “ditch the silver... go for gold....Mmmmmmmmmmmm🤔

as old a gold coin as possible

Just out of curiosity, I did a bit of Google mining. If you want REALLY old gold for sale Click here.  44BC Should do it!!

The only snag is the 587% premium. (Oh ... and add postage)... I bet it holds its value though.🤑
