Yea thats kinda what I do now

Nice coin, great price, GLWS

There was a SA 2 Rand in 1972 but I detest the obverse design

I'm 1972 so cant get one I have a few silver bits and bobs from 1972 but no gold

Today was a fantastic post day 1853 from Nick @ Cameo Coins, the 1881S and 1876 from @Jbend

Its a bad un I'm afraid

Too slow, nice pickup @Spyder

Todays arrivals from @Auronum 🙏

All bullion yes, there is a BU SOTD that is not

Best pricing I have ever known from a Jewellers is one in town that pays £20 under spot and sells at £20 over - cash only They were decent when premiums were much higher but now I just pop in to see if they have any shields or rare dates as they don't differentiate, not had anything for a long long time though as someone started buying everything they get in

Jewellers will use the melted gold to make jewellery, the mark-up on that will massively eclipse whatever you offer them mate, been there tried that and only ever found two jewellers that will sell to me and both do it cash only I was in a jewellers in Lichfield on Saturday and asked if they had any sovereigns, the lad (owners son) told me his Dad keeps them all. I asked if they buy and he said yes for £280. I said don't you mean £380 and he said no. I told him that was over £90 under spot and his response was that the premises were expensive to keep (ignoring the fact they do not sell on the sovereigns). I basically told him they were sharks taking advantage of the unknowing and that Atkinsons (which is in the next town over from Lichfield) offer spot on most gold coins which he flatly refused to believe.

Hadrian Denarius on the right

I see these go for around this all the time mate, ballpark seems to be about £1150-1400 for both raw and PF69 or less

Royal Mint messed the price up, were selling at £99 when the loose were £135. Was posted up in the Gold deals page

Another 1872M for the collection, not a particularly high grade but a rare year for Melbourne (first year) and one I have a real attraction to And of course some 1/4 Sovereigns

Three bullion sovereigns for sale, The Jubilee head has had a polish at some point, both the Edwards are decent. No scarce years, though neither of the Melbourne's are high mintage and can be trickier to find than their mintages suggest Bundle deal on all three for £1140 posted

@modofantasma

Just to clear up any confusion, the QC64 is a sticker on the outside of the capsule, my comment was in jest

The rare version with the QC64 privy mark as well 😆

Mine show as despatched too, its such a faff navigating the royal mint website to find a tracking number for bullion, don't know why they cant just stick it in orders with the commemorative stuff

Lovely job, thanks for sharing 👍

They are my favourite moderns, I have a couple of the plain edge already but this is my first reeded edge
