Nice catch up today with @1817Karl who didn’t let me leave empty handed. Three nice sets 1950,  1951 & 1953. Proper money.  Thanks Karl. 

 

What a great set of coins, I was struggling between this type of collection or sovereigns one of each of different areas, choosed the sov in the end, but beautiful sets as yours I will collect in the future. Thank you for sharing.

Yep, that would be indicative of a short tail variety. Thank you!

No thank you I will keep double checking. Cheers gazer.

Just checked again yes there is a wisp where you said to look. Does this mean (short tail)?

Very nice! As an aside, looks to be a short tail, but hard to tell from the angle. Can you see if there is a wisp of tail hair on the upper left inner portion of the horse’s tail? 

Good question I'm looking at it myself I will try and get back to you and soon as possible.

This little Libertad came in on Friday but I wasn’t in my office to collect it. A nice little beaut from eBay of all places! Tested and all good. It’s only small but the weight adds up quickly.

Elegant coin, the design of the lady with the wings is superb, lovely coin to collect.

Was gonna ask the same!

Sorry I should have taken a better photo it's a 61 Grade but in my mind after taking great care to check the coin in my humble opinion should be a 61+ or even a 62. Up close a lot of luster and no dings.

It's a 61 I believe it should be a61+ or a 62

2 Rwanda Nautical Series 2019 proofs from Dios and 3 x Batavia from @arshimo2012

The nautical design is very cool I can definitely see why you choose it.

Just received a nice necklace, 14k gold, I bought it for scrap price but its in perfect condition, will post a picture tomorrow, I bought it for the 21.4 grams it was advertised as($600)....thing is there is a mistake, I just weighed it as I do with everything I buy, weight, magnet test and will even gold test with a Kee gold tester I should be receiving in the next couple of days, I usually let my lCS test for me...well the condition is great, it appears to be 14k gold and the right length but one things wrong....the weight...its not 21.4 grams as I paid for, As it advertised as ...... its 21.4 DWT...pennyweight.

 

Any of you understand weights will know that pennyweight is a lot heavier then grams(21.41 pennyweight = 33.3 grams)...so I bought $940 worth of gold that is not going into the pot but being sold as jewelry for $540 when allowing for Ebay bucks which I got 10% back....Boy sometimes I feel like I just sat on a rainbow....lol.

We all deserve a bit of good fortune. Ie have your cake and eat it.🥮

Yeah the Lee Enfield No4 was the best bolt action battle rifle of the war I reckon, I have a 1943 dated British Maltby (near Sheffield) made one, will stick some pics in the relevant section when I get chance. 

Thank you.

Reminds me of the 303 I first used in the sixties. Fine rifle great for precision shooting.

More vintage 1oz pickups.

 

Are they rare? I'm not familiar with this type of bars, but they look interesting, in the future when finished getting the coins I'm after. It might be something I would be interested in.

Cheers gazer 

In my humble opinion keep if you can afford to, sell obviously if you're desperate for funds. Keep looking for bargains, my one absolute is buy scrap precious metal for a rainy day as you can then keep your your coins ext. The price will keep moving in my opinion like a escalator. The good thing about scrap metal you are ready to sell to a dealer if desperate.

Cheers gazer.

Got to love mail calls. Copper Silver Gold

I received this 1916 London Mint Sov.

The nice thing about the Britannia series is that there are designs to suit many different tastes. In terms of plasticity of the allegory I favour the 2014 and 1987 original design. In regards to modern reductive depiction the 2001 and 2003 stand out to me and @gazer. I think there is little not to be liked and even the greatest hater of the 2017 design @RegalStacker has come to terms with her. 

I just can't help admire the series even if it takes me a while to like certain designs on the coins. 👏
