augur

Yes, it was PostNL.
There were 2 in an bubble-eveloppe, by touch it was possible to feel the capsules, and by looking at the enveloppe it is clear that it was ripped open by hand.
It was delivered at my work and the lady at the frontdesk was busy with some stuff when she signed it, so she didn't notice it was ripped open.
The guy who delivered it must have seen it was ripped open when he scanned it, so I suspect him.
Sort off glad it was delivered at my work, and not at my home address..

Today I received a little disappointment: was expecting a shield sovereign, kiwi and goldmark. The first didn't arrive despite Special Delivery, UKMail meets unfortunately expectations for the second and the latter looks rather obvious suspicious with magnification 


I hope the dealer can replace rather than refund – bought it during the dip...

Not really received today but..
Some really nice silver rounds and those new RM bars from @arshimo2012 - i was luckily quick on the draw with these!
Some 1/4 oz Queens Beasts from goldsilver.be - no issues at all with the order!
A unique silver coin from Zanzibar thanks to Chris @prophet800. I really find it an interesting design and also its from the home country of my folks!
 

Finally got round to opening this...
Bet you cant guess where I got it 😁
 

Got my hands finally on a "home-graded" (opposed to bulk graded) MS70 Dragon. They are actually as hard to grade as Griffins (16 vs. 19) but those bulk submissions distort the figures quite a bit...

Now just waiting for the grading results for my Unicorns – Bull and Falcon waiting eagerly. 

Todays arrivals, a couple of lucky dip pre-owned bars from Atkinsons, which turned out to be PAMP again - winner
and 2 coins bought from Kritika,  great service.
 

Big thank you to a forum member for helping to buy this moon cake shaped silver piece.  30g but is a hollow centre to give it size without the weight/price.  Arrived a few days ago but only just had chance to open the package.  A quick check to verify.

300 standing liberty half dollars
1500 mercury dimes

Today I received, (well technicaly yesterday)
A lovely 2017 Sov with Privy Mark for my date run, thanks to the brilliant @silversurf
 

Video is up on YouTube and was very happy with the coins thank you one again 
 

That'll be why it hasn't been noticed before, they don't get the detailed attention from the serious collectors or auction houses.

I've not been posting many new finds, too many to do so until I've got the time to log and photograph everything properly!
Though this is something a bit different, unrecorded of course and not something I've seen before on other dates. An inverted 1 for I in DEI
Just a shame the coin isn't nicer, it's always the way when you find a nice error that the coin isn't great!

The Poormans Sovereign, as I like to call it! Just came in today. Big question is, leave it in the package or take it out and encapsulate it?
