Not precious metals persay..but everytime I put matching pairs of socks into washing machine, only singles come back out.

No problem at all  

Thanks @1stsovereign that is very kind of you and from what I've seen bout, an amazing price but still way too good a condition for what I'm looking for, hence it being a long shot. Please offer it to @ZRPMs.
Was really looking for a pocket piece that had signs of somebody chewing on it. I'm a stacker that has started to look at date runs thanks to TSF but you've not conditioned me to a fully fledged numismatist yet!!! 🙂
Best regards,

Yes, If @Skyfiller say's no. 

I think if @Skyfiller does not take it, I think @ZRPMs @ArgentSmithwould want it.   Obviously OP wanted listing so has 1st option

@Skyfiller

Yes mate. Hopefully there’s one out there that has been a pocket piece 😂

So I did the deal today for 17 Sovereigns. Here’s the 1957 one. 
 
 

Absolutely! A story like this is priceless (and unless desperate for funds may I suggest this inheritance is too?)!
Someone joining up to properly catalogue and research their dear late grandfather's beautiful collection (giving it a second appreciative run through the family)?
Brilliant!

Indeed.
Realistically it absolutely had to drop to settle itself off it can’t keep rising so we’re all good.
Gold has went galactic so a little settling is perfectly good for a wee bit of buying 👍🏻 

Worst part about gold is, what goes up, rarely goes down, the prices of yesteryear remain so. So I gotta buy, buy, buy.

Double £1,200 SOLD
Full £1,175
Half £425
Prices plus post
Bank transfer only please 
I’ll have the coins in hand by the end of the week and will take payment then 
 

 

I'm no numismatist but most of the early year sovs have mintages in the millions. The modern sovs are in the low tens of thousands - e.g. a 1907 Edward full sov has a mintage of 28,000,000+ across London, Perth, Melbourne and Sydney, whereas a 2007 Lizzie bullion full sov has a mintage of 27,628

Even if 90% of the 1907 Edwards have went overseas, been lost or melted down, there would still be 10 times more 1907s on the market in the UK than 2007s

That's the allegation. The truth is I did not make him do anything and I'm not in charge of the forum, I'm just a pleb like everybody else (except James)
This is a precious metals forum. Does posting the gold spot price 100s of times to farm karma make you a valuable member or show you have any insights? Does posting in the non-precious metals section of the forum mean you know about coins, macroeconomics or technical indicators?
Under the old system a new member could join and spam certain sections of the forum with tatas, random digits or soup recipes, and game their way to Grand Master within a month. I was a "Grand Master" after only being on the forum for a couple of months. The danger is people would listen to someone because they have a Grand Master badge. It matters most in the trade section as a scammer could game their way to Grand Master by spamming in a short period of time, then use their status to scam someone
So, the rules were changed to exclude the points earned in the non-precious metals section of the forum and to make it much harder to become a Grand Master. What value is there in being a Grand Master if everyone on the forum is a Grand Master? It should take at least 2 years to earn that badge. Under the new system if you have a Grand Master badge it is meaningful and shows you've been on TSF for a while (a couple of years minimum), you might even be worth listening to!

I work from home, have a nice computer with plenty of screen real estate. It’s always there

If you are under 50 and can’t do that it’s time to call it a day 🤣

Congrats on the house purchasing. It can be sad when the stack or some of it gets sold off but reasons like this are why we stack. I remember when I was about 14, just about to start the last 2 years in secondary school. My grandfather sat me down and said "Remember lad, Do you best. Do well and get good grades now and you'll be able to get a good well paid job that'll enable you to Buy your own home. A mortgage might feel a big burden. But you can pay it off. The rent man never goes away and he always askes for more as the years go by." Decided to end up down the self employed route but the bit about the rent mas never going away struck a chord with me. Bought the first house in my early 20's and before I reached my mid 20's became the rent man. I'm still here, Just. 

Firstly I'm not a stacker but a collector so I consider it to be a hobby. I will most probably buy coins on an annual basis when the price is right for at least the next 15-20 years. Then if I'm ever strapped for cash in my retirement I can sell a few coins as required.

Well done Patricia🤔🤔😮😁
