I've lost this 1/10 oz gold proof in my house. Spent ages looking for it and gave up in the end. It might turn up one day.

You raided the house 3 doors down from me.

and thanks to @HB1 for this one🤔👍

With a great name like 'God's Money' maybe you will appreciate this:
Luke 15:8-10 NKJV
The Parable of the Lost Coin
8 “Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbours together, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I lost!’ 10 Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

Yeah, I'd stop looking tbh. I nicked it with the barbecue out the back and a very nice leather jump suit.

You two haven't been going to the same parties have you?

Thanks to @KROfor this slightly unexpected little package 

@MickB the minute it arrived the scrap gold price sxxt its pants and started to drop , the gold price will bend to my will, and bend the knee or be destroyed 👍

That'll buff up nicely using your discs👍

A new whale swims these shores, watch out cxxts.

Now that I’m a big time gold buyer , I thought I’ll have bragging rights , TODAY I RECEIVED “  “ the king of coins , the big time , top of the line the almighty 1/20 kangaroo thing , check it out in its sponged case 👍, @treetop1280= Winner , move over ball bags there is a new player at the table???

I don't think so. Mind you they were "parties!"

Had a few half sovereigns out on the desk a while back. I don't think I ha left them for a second. Then discovered 1 had gone missing. searched every where. I was about to start moving bookcases and my desk when the other half came into the office. Here she said is this yours. The little one had only lifted the bloody thing and was playing shop with it in her bedroom. Think she was only 4 then. She's like a bloody magpie, anything shiny, Whooosh. 

That's nothing mate I lost ALL my gold AND silver in a boating accident. Terrible shame 😞

Something pretty special. Had been on the look out for a pig for sometime but this is something a bit extra. 
 
A special thank you to @paulmerton  This will be a cherished item in my collection. 

A few very special items.
Australian Gold nuggets 10g, 5.66g and 3.99g and also a killer JM bar with a super low mintage of just 2k ever made and even less thought to still be around as a large number were melted down 

Over the moon to get my hands on the Maundy Money gold set. Stunning coins

Big thanks to @Clockpuncher

Some perfect Maklouf's dropped off today. Can't beat these 1980's QEII portrait's. 

Sorry got possessed by a drunk Ulster man 

Some time ago, a few years before he passed away during the first covid wave at 96 years old (he was playing golf six months before!) I received a collection of coins from my grandad. He didn't tell me much about them at all other than that he enjoyed collecting and ordering them. As well as these there are lots, and lots of others I may have questions about but these are the boxed ones, some of which contain gold coins so if it's okay I'll post them here and ask later on the silver forum about the other peculiar individual silver ones he had (as well as loads of the old silver half crowns, sixpences and all sorts of other stuff). 

Any comments, advice etc on any of them are welcomed, even if it turns out some are copies, not collectable, junk etc. I won't take offence. I have just started going through them and find them fascinating. Looking to do a bit of collecting and stacking after reading up on it all and am looking forward to the journey!

There are a lot so I have created a shared an imgur photos album and have linked the main overhead shots of these selected coins/sets here as an overview. Can take more pics of reverses etc if it helps!  

Here is a link to the shared album with some shots of each set. https://imgur.com/a/drDpW5u


Thanks!

This is great to read. Surely, this is what it’s all about. Another generation discovering a grandparents collection and enjoying learning all about it. Hopefully doing well out of it as well but nice to read stories like this that aren’t just about accumulation of wealth 👍🏼

A quarter eagle from @SVcollector for a set i am building. will probably be unslabbed in the future. 
 

Finally got my hands on this 1/2 ounce Pyx Gold Standard. I was expecting the coin to look a bit of a mess but I'm pleasantly surprised!

Take it as a compliment, he wants to be like you when he grows up.
this probably isn't true.
