barney

A 1787 George III gold Guinea. Pretty worn but hey, have you seen how much the good specimens cost?
 

Finally got around to taking some pics of recently received coins. First up a nice NGC graded George V sovereign.

1999 & 2000 RAM proof Kangaroo's.
Danny, I couldn't hold back till the end of the month!!, had few quid spare
so thought " sod it why not", can't wait for them to arrive

2011 1/4 & 1/2 proof Sovereigns for 3% and 4% spot
 
Slight handling marks on both but nothing dramatic
 
Very nice and very pleased with them 
 

Pulled the trigger tonight on an STG silver order:
Tube of 25 1 oz 2015 Canadian Maples (bullion - for the stack, at £12.63 each)
Tube of 20 1 oz 2015 Kookaburras (can't wait to see these, looks a great design, and the 25th anniversary etc)
Single 10 oz 2015 Koala and Kookaburras
Finally - a 1 kg Kookaburra. Call me crazy - but this looks so much more fun than a generic 1 kg bar, and the price is so much better!
That might be it for silver for 2015 now......apart from some shiny NZ collectors stuff that is on its way also!
Let's see if my timing was good or stupid...

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.

Got my 6 coin 2014 proof Britannia set today, really really nice very pleased with it:) 

Thanks to DavePanda. A little light reading for tonight 
 

 
 
 

1Oz proof 2014 Royal Mint year of the horse

Two full sovereigns , 1930 and 1931 - both SA mintmark (was not sure which mintmark when I bid for them). May put the 1931 up for swap, as I need a Perth or Sydney George V. Nice bullion condition. Sorry the photo is not great....

Last box containing some 10oz, 5oz, 2oz and 1/2oz.
That concludes the Lunars for now.
 
Looks like the Royal Mint are producing their literature in German as well.
 

Proof 2011 1/4 sov and 1/2 sov from HGM
 
Hoping they aren't damaged but if they are bought them at a bullion price so wont complain.
 
But fingers crossed 

Just bought today a 2014 proof britannia six coin set:) not cheap but have wanted these for some time..looking at the price the one ounce alone fetches online the six coin set seems a bargain!

2015 sovereign 5th portrait

from hgm a 1918 bombay mint sov , only minted for i year in india . nothing special especially with the rim marks , but an intresting coin 
 
a 1929 sa mint sov . again nothing special and rim damage , but the first year i think for the small head george and a reworked reverse which is also smaller
 
makes a change from the usual sov i supose

Today i bought a half sovereign coin case to fit ten coins. Only have two now.Time to stack some gold.

Cool My 2 Ounce proof set just arrived

10 oz NTR bar and 2.5g gold pamp pendant:)

Today I bought........................a panda book. 
 
Havn't got any panda coins yet, but at least i'll be better informed when I do start looking for them.
 
Thanks go out to DavePanda for his donation of the book to the forum funds 

Just bought the Perth Mint 2oz lunar series 2 proof set from Silber.corner.... So it's bread and jam for the next month, lol. I think this great forum should come with a health (wealth) warning.. :)

1999 10 oz proof & Bu Kook 2 coin set.  I've been looking for a 1999 10 oz proof kook for ages
