Received this 2017 piedfort sovereign today from @cornishrich quite disappointed with this purchase , I can see a few scratches on the coin , not a perfect coin , don’t know if I should send it for grading or not .


there is a little scratch at 11 o’clock and one at 2 o’clock.

no the scratches were not mentioned and the coin was sold as a perfect coin , also the COA number of the coin I received is different from the COA number of the  coin that was advertised but the seller still insist the pictures were taken of the same coin even though the evidence is there for everyone to see .
@Calzehbhoy I have bought and sold so many coins on this forum , every time I buy a coin i upload pictures of them here and thank the seller , there have been times that little mistakes happened but this is the first time I am unhappy with my purchase and the seller is completely denying that he has sent me a different coin , so I had to name him here so everyone can see and suggest a solution , call me old fashioned .

Call me old fashioned but if you're not happy with a purchase don't you have a private chat with the person you bought from rather than calling them out?

So my little group order turned up curtesy of @BackyardBullion and it just reminded me, I’d thought I’d add a couple of 2020 Czech lions.
I’m almost believing there was some plan for me to win the 2019 czech lion in last months draw, as the urge to go on another date run is now prodding me in the ribs 😂
 

2019 military and culture piefort 50p sets 

Any excuse to visit the coin shop..lol.

I received a PayPal payment last year which was good as I could put the cash towards something that I wanted. I don’t mind what I win. I am still to confirm my donation, but it is likely to be a 1g gold bar.

I'm in. I'll offer a 2021 britannia or a 2020 coat of arms, winners choice.

Finally..... Even had a UPS event  where they said they attempted delivery,.. even when I was sitting and looking a the driver from my Office.... after some calls they brought them back..
 

Massive thanks to @StackSellRepeatand @ilovesilverireallydo for these awsome pieces. 4 x vintage pamp still sealed and In mint condition 😍😍 and the aussie gold nuggets. WOW 

My 1997 four coin gold proof year set came back from Ngc with four 70 grades. Excellent result 🥳. Many thanks to Joseph for the set.

The set is made up of a five through to a half sovereign, all graded 70 ucam. The rarity is initially in the Quintuple which was only issued as part of this year set, with a very low mintage of 860. Getting hold of a set isn’t easy to start with but kthe second rarity is to have a set all graded all 70. The £5 sovereign is one of only 14 graded top graded at NGC as of today. The £2 Technology Celtic design, although it has a mintage 2482, is only the 7th top grade example rated by NGC. 

The full sov, as is the case with other 1990s sovereigns and half’s, when only proofs were struck, has a modest 9177 mintage & this only 10th graded 70. Equally the half sov, is the 13th graded top pop of 7500 minted. 

I thought I’d share some of the pics to brighten up the weekend. Thanks for looking.

Thanks to @SilverMike for this one. These don’t come up for sale often so happy to get me hands on them. Most definitely going in the long term collection

Received over the last days but want to thank @Jamesd for always selling amazing items and for the TSF pin love it!@StBeesSilver makes gorgeous pieces. @arphethean this Karatbars notes are gorgeous. And a big thanks for everything to @Clockpuncher who I miss to deal with

No need to complain about cash although silver is more fun 😄 what I just really don't like is the  Google mini like I don't want any Alexa or Google nest is someone trading me that for silver? At least cash I can trade for silver, that I have to sell first, extra work 😂 but I guess it's part of the fun 

1x 2oz queen's beast lion 2016 from me i have reported my earlier post re: £40 BT stack was next to nothing at the time 27 oz and counting now 😎

I don't get to visit my safety deposit box that often and when I do go it is a very special treat especially when taking photos to look back on. The beauty of the stack is not at hand and it is out of sight and out of mind therefore never taken into consideration when looking at finances. When I visited the secure storage facility I could hear a customer in the next room and he was obviously counting cash he had removed from his safety deposit box. I was thinking at the time I am so glad I had saved and stacked Gold rather than polymer banknotes...........

If Silver had stayed below $17 oz and Gold below $1400 oz and £/$ above 1.40 with no global pandemic with an increase risk in losing our jobs (already have few tenants struggling keep up with rent) then I would have completed both my Silver and Gold stacks I have no doubt. Don't get me wrong I loved my Silver stack and photos of the stack posted here it was always my intention to complete both. Weaker £ vs $ a higher PM price / premium and loss some rental income with job uncertainty mixed in I wanted to complete at least one of the stacks. Due to the portability of Gold vs Silver and I believe premiums with Gold QB coins will continue to rise over next X years we ( @h103efa it was an amicable discussion between me and my wife ) decided sell the majority of the Silver and complete Gold stack. Was that the best decision I don't know only time will tell.........
 

In late 2018 we had six months falling Gold prices but it failed to take out the 2016 lows and Gold was not on main stream media radar. At the time many YouTube gurus were saying Gold was heading towards $1000 but Gold price failed on a monthly chart to penetrate below $1200 and at this time I got the Gold/Silver bug but I was still fearful of continued falling PM prices so I decided to invest heavily into a series that hopefully if the PM price continued to fall would be offset by premium appreciation and the best series around was the Queens Beast coins all capital gains tax exempt. At the time I did not envision Gold price breaking above $1400 level that had stood as resistance for four years and my strategy was to buy 10 of each coin in the series to complete a stack of 100 oz in Gold. When Gold price broke above $1400 I failed to continue to accumulate (PMs emotional metals) and towards the end of the series my wife and I decided we would still continue to complete the stack but had to pay some additional premium and increase in spot price offset by unfortunately having to sell off my Silver stack.

Just realised I hadnt listed my prize yet,so here we are - 2011 ms69 Britannia and a beautiful William Wyon (him of the una+the lion fame) proof medal.

My first Silver purchase in what seems like an age.  
 
I might get the fine wire wool and silver dip out to shine and spruce Victoria up a bit 😉 😂 

She contrasts nicely with her Gold little Sister 😃
