TSF and @TavexBullion are very excited to announce a limited time promotional offer open to all TSF members! Tavex already provide exceptional value with highly competitive prices in the UK, this offer gives TSF members even more discounts on top, for a limited time!

Tavex is planning on joining the Platinum Offers from Selected Dealers programme, that gives discounts from selected dealers for Platinum and Platinum PLUS Premium members. But before this we have launched an introductory promotional offer at even better discounted rates open to ALL TSF members! (note that the offers that will be available in the Platinum Offers programme may be lower than this introductory offer, and they have not been worked out yet, the volume of orders in this introductory offer may affect how much discount we are able to offer on that) 

For full transparency TSF were offered affiliate links and to earn a commission from referred sales, we have decided to split the commission equally between TSF and members in the form of discounts using these discount codes instead. The % discount below is the % that will be deducted from the item cost at checkout, TSF will also earn the same % commission on these discounted products that are ordered. The split is equal. This will help us to grow the forum further and to help us negotiate more great deals like this for members in the future  


The Tavex 1g Gold Bar

One of the products I would like to highlight in this deal is the Tavex 1g Gold Bar. At the time of writing this bar costs just £55.51 (before discount) which offers exceptional value per gram when compared to other fractional gold items (even much larger ones), these bars are also very affordable and a good introduction to gold, though small they are very easy to resell and are great for those who wish to purchase a very small piece of gold but regularly. From my understanding and knowledge these are the lowest price 1g Gold Bars that you can by from any dealer in the UK, even lower when you add the TSF discount on top! These are IMO a great pick up! Easily divisible when coming to sell.

x2 Umicore Silver bars available for 659 posted 
Sigma tested
A lovely lump of silver

Aladeeen number 3, from @geowill989
Features the older mosque design on the reverse with the switch to Khomeini on the obverse, later Khomeini heads use a more modern interpretation of the mosque.
The reverse will be familiar to anyone that remembers the OG Aladeen, except that one didn't have papa Khomeini on.
This is the way. Praise Khomeini 

1kg of beautiful silver. Thanks to @LiquidMetalsUK 
 
 

Latest additions

 
The collection of them is starting to grow

1959 Diez Pesos (probably a restrike)
Purchased a 10 peso coin at the London Coin Fair the other day - it's a little bit larger than a sovereign, .900 with 7.5g gold content.
The finish is in pretty good nick, although there are some abrasions visible on the obverse.



 

 

Today's arrival thanks too

@ChrisSilver

1911 Canadian Sov.
Any opinions on grade???
 

I took one '23 golden sovereign to compare to the golden lustre of the tin foil found in a packet of Tesco's biccies. How did the sov compare? Not very well at all lol. 
Sov saved. Biscuits eaten. This concludes my experiment.

 
Sov received today, Biscuits still in date.
 

Really? Here is George IV in context, by cartoon satirist Cruikshank in 1816
 + Laureate head 1824 and Barehead 1829 reverse)….🙂
 
 

Collected an amazing haul of conserved and graded coins from our @GoldDiggerDave.  All of these came back MS/PF70.  Lovely...
2023 Coronation Quintuple Sovereign BU

2018 Queens Beasts Red Dragon 1/4oz Proof

A couple of Dollaridoos from Perth Mint
Finally caught up with the silver.  Maybe I'll get a bit more next payday (which is in a week or so)
2022 Quokka


2023 Wedge Tailed Eagle


 

Just a small local purchase whilst in town today! No postage so very competitive compared to anything on-line today!

Definitely one of my favourites as well….bought these from Chards 14 years ago!

Just the one, but helps out with the 2021 collection
 

6 nice half sovs from the girl in the pawnshop 😬

2007 Proof Full Sovereign
I decided to reshoot this coin for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, I actually missed the focus on the front edge - just didn't notice.  You can see it's soft around the 3 o'clock edge.  I simply didn't start the focus stack closer enough, and just didn't notice.
Secondly, I think the back lighting I used to brighten the rim, is a little too bright.  It's caused a lot of quite distracting reflection, and if the edge was in focus it would probably glare.  I don't want the rim to be brighter than the face, just visible.

The new version is definitely sharper.  Quite a different colour also, so I'm wondering if I need to calibrate my lights again to get the white balance retuned.
Anyway, prefer this second version.
