Another half kilo of .500 silver coin for spot, including 'free' special delivery.

The seller was doing bit by bit on ebay, and they were generally going for spot plus postage on top.
After happy receipt of the first batch of combined buys, I proposed they sell again to me at spot in bulk to save themselves shipping every which way to smaller buyers.
They started with half a kilo, but will probably send me more next time.
It never hurts to ask sellers for a deal.  Especially as a returning customer.

Earlier this week I received a small order from Apmex

Today I received...
2017 Silver libertad proof coins. 
From 2oz to 1/20oz. 
Together with the 5oz coin from last time, now I have the whole variety of libertad silver proof coins of 2017. 

35 Edward sovs to get the run started, this part will be easy. 95% of coins are in extremely good grade which makes things a lot easier also!


 

Now that I've got a few mins.  Yesterday's slabs.
2017 Pristrucci 3 coin set, Strike on the Day and BU 5 Sov all came back 70.
2005 Australian Sov was originally treated as bullion so 69 or less was expected.  The centennial Bi-Met Sov got a low grade due to the milk spotting on the silver.
Pleased with the 70 on the £1 and the £2 was as expected.  The coins from that set were not mint.
All the 1/10 China Lunars came back 70 so happy with those.

The postman brought me this today 1998 1oz bu silver libertad only need one now to complete the date run ?the specks are in the protective package but just a little nic above pura 

Received some coins back from NGC after 2 months.  NGC messed up and then USPS messed up but luckily the USPS issue ended up in my favour in this instance.
NGC graded some coins and then sent them back.  As soon as I was able to, I checked the grades and images only to find they'd not applied the GB label as paid for.  No biggie! I would have just got credited back for it and just left them on the brown label.  Someone made a mistake which is understandable since no one is perfect.  NGC will change labels at their expense but I wouldn't have bothered with the hassle.  Looking at the other coins I noticed mistake 2 and 3.  They'd put the wrong labels on 2 coins!  This time there is no excuse
Overlooking one coin is a possibility.  Miss a second and someone isn't actually doing their job.
Now I have no choice but to send the coins back.  The problem is the coins are finalised and shipped the same day so it's too late to contact them if errors are noticed.  I track the coins through a phone app with push notifications and it reaches Jamaica NY depot but instead of being forwarded and departing Newark for the UK it travels back to Tampa FL a couple of days later.  I'm thinking it's been mis-sorted and will turn back around but nope, it ends up going back to Sarasota FL.  What was nerve racking was the impending storm that was about to hit Florida.  NGC had already closed it's office a could of days before so now my package would be sitting at the Post Office over the weekend and for a few days afterwards.  I sent them an email explaining that some coins needed label corrections and the package had been returned to them without leaving the US.  Just hoped that Irma wouldn't cause any damage to Post Office etc.  Ending up being fine and NGC picked up the parcel and the coins went back into their system for label corrections.  Since I was going to have to return the coins anyway, the parcel being returned back to NGC worked in my favour.  I expected the label corrections to be expedited but it wasn't the case and still took a couple of weeks before they were shipped back to me.  Again I follow the package (I track all packages) and this time it goes smoothly and lands with me this morning 10 days after shipping from NGC.

Received on Friday a nice 7 oz poured silver bar ... Love it

Really love the size of those 10oz qb's

O, and someone delivered a few young heads 
Have an afternoon of sorting them now!
 

So they arrived, 1989 Quintuple BU, and 1837-1897 3oz gold medal.
The medal is now the best coin in my whole collection without any doubts, no proofs or rare dates compare to this, pictures or words cannot describe how this coin feels in hand! The relief on the old head side is just ridiculous. I think i may have to make a video showing the "turn" on this coin
The 1989 Quintuple is in near-perfect condition, small blemish on rim of reverse is the only flaw i can see so very very happy with it!

It's easy to do an ebay search of sold items. Such a search will tell you that one with box and coa usually go for £400 - £440 although one went for £485 at auction on Sunday but if you'd have been on the ball, one went for only £330 at auction just over a week ago!
Also in August someone accepted a best offer below the £325 asking price!
Also, I do believe someone not unknown on this forum sold a bullion 2005 sov graded MS68 by NGC for £328. However, that's irrelevant to this discussion but it's amazing what you can find when you search ebay completed listings!
