The King arrived today, My latest Ebay buy, a ruined coin in my opinion but well under spot that makes two of these coins I have now, looks like I'm becoming a collector

Hi Hands, No its not

2014 Royal mint 1oz lunar horse proof horse

Yeah. I picked one up on Saturday by accident and been trying to find a rough value but can't see them for sale anywhere. Mintage is 8,888 I think. Lovely coin though.

I did see your post Dime, I think you got a great steal there. Ebay has two for sale on 'buy it now'. One for £300 the other £350 and one has just come up for auction, £37 from Germany with 5 days to go Ebay number (141596548188) , will be interesting to see what it fetches.

Hello Dime

It's a silver horse proof, they seem hard to find, there seems to still be a lot of gold lunar horse coins avalable at very good premiums though.

Today I bought two proof quarter sovereigns. One because it's a modern first, the second due to low mintage.

  I also got a UK lunar 'year of the horse' proof because they seem to be as rare as rocking horse shit.

today i recived my proof sovereign set and a bit of yellow to try and help my gold average

Dont worry too much Fluttershy, if worst comes to worst you will be covered by PayPal

Another sovereign, and a good buy Guernsey gold proof £25 coin for £165

well the gold and silver price is on the downward slide, when to pull the trigger this is the big question? anyone watching and thinking the same?

Hi Kman, I think the size is great i really like the detail on the sovereign and on the plus side i can still hide my stack in a match box .   As for why i chose coininvest and not hattongardenmetals, well i looked at both and yes hatton was cheaper buy a couple of pound but didnt want the hassle of a bank transfer as i have not done one before, but will get it sorted out as they do have some great offers

My first gold received today, 2015 Sov and 1976 2 Rand really chuffed with them, had a A+ service from Coininvest good price and well packed only ordered them thursday

thanks Paul, Linderman must admit cant wait for the postman but i also know there small, i have had a passion for coins and history for years been metal detecting over 10 years so if any one wants help with a id for celtic, roman, saxon or hammered coins just give me a shout or any old coin 

Well after lurking in the shadows for a few weeks and doing alot of reading and research here on the forum and internet. Today i made my first purchase  a gold sovereign and a south africa 2 rand not sure if two coins make me a stacker but its a start. Would just like to say thanks to all involved with the running of the forum, and will post a pic when they arrive  

Hi madhatter, nice coin i like early milled silver i wish i stated collecting them years ago they will only shoot up in value as so many collectable coins are going into the melting pot . shame its not the 1893 Jubilee Head a scarce coin, i have been tempted to buy some of these scrap pre 47 lots to see if there anything collectable in them.
